This classic modernist family home has been in the family since it was built by the current owner in 1963 and remains original in every sense of the word. Featuring raked ceilings and deep picture windows overlooking the garden, the simple open-plan layout is as welcoming as it is refreshing. The rooms are generous for its era, and there's ample space on this 670 sqm block to establish your own playground for the children or plan a simple extension bathed in northern light, with clear access from the laneway, Hawkstone Street, and Florence Street.
The living room features a large fireplace and hearth with timber period detailing. Beneath the colorful carpet, you'll find timber floors extending through to the dining and kitchen , and this room is adjacent to the large kitchen/family dining area, with entry from the verandah. The bedrooms are positioned to the south to benefit from cross breezes on hot summer nights. A WC is located within the large traditional laundry, which has a backdoor entrance to the spacious, grassed garden.
There's also the ubiquitous garage and store, accessed from the rear and a 'Hills Hoist' taking pride of place in the back garden. You're just a short walk from Grant St Station and have direct access to the cycle path leading into Fremantle and Perth. There is a very easy solution to expanding the home to the south through to the laneway.
This is such a convenient location with ocean access up Hawkstone Street. The owner's children remember summers spent surfing at 'The Cove', winters training at Swanny Oval after school, and visits to the corner shop around the corner that is still there! It's all here for you and your family to enjoy, so come around and discover this home. It could be your new special place west of the railway on a generous landholding at the right price.
