Inter-generational Downsizer
Step through the front gates and be taken on a journey back through time. Subtly understated with its charming street frontage, you are first introduced to ‘the front house’, an impressively-renovated 2 bedroom 1 bathroom heritage-listed circa-1900s character home. This unique property is so versatile. A multiple generational home or two separate families with living and entertainment possibilities aplenty.
At the rear, and up a flight of stairs, you will find a private sanctuary – an airy open-plan one bedroom, one bathroom, kitchen, living and meals area which seamlessly extends outdoors to an adjacent north facing deck on which to relax and unwind. The adjoining staircase allows access to the most surprisingly tranquil backyard.

The Home
Most of the original charm of yesteryear has been preserved within the main house, in the form of soaring high ceilings, solid Jarrah floorboards throughout and other intricate nostalgic features. Both bedrooms near the entrance are more than spacious, with the master bedroom enjoying direct access out to a pleasant wrap around bull-nose verandah.
The central lounge room with its burning wood fireplace, keeps everyone warm in winter with access to a small north-facing deck/nook through glass French doors - the perfect place to sit and relax with a cup of tea or coffee in hand. A quality modern bathroom is easily accessible to everybody and is headlined by a double rain shower.
The functional open-plan dining and kitchen area off the lounge room is the heart and soul of the home. This light filled room enjoys cross-flow ventilation through the louvered windows either side of the double glass doors which open out to the fabulous covered alfresco entertaining area. A terrific study nook enjoys a leafy northern outlook to the garden.
The real “hidden gem” of this residence is a basement beneath the garage that doubles as a theatre, studio or music room with full sound-proofing. Or the perfect “man cave”, if you are that way inclined.
Absolutely everything you could ever want or need is right here with transport options right on your doorstep and Claremont Quarter a short walk away as is Scotch College, Christ Church Grammar and MLC. Something special awaits you, here. You really need to come and see it with your own eyes!

Around Swanbourne
Swanbourne is one of the most popular and sort after destinations in WA and it’s not hard to see why. Swanbourne beach sits on one of the most stunning stretches of coastland, with the crystal blue waters of the Indian Ocean, its surf lifesaving club and iconic Shorehouse restaurant. There’s the recreational wonderland of Allen Park with its tennis, footy, rugby, cricket and bridge clubs. Or there’s dog walking or trekking up and over Melon Hill with its 360-degree views to Rottnest and Perth City. Or perhaps you’re seeking that good old ‘corner store’ with relaxed beachside vibe? If that’s the case then you can choose between Kirkwood Deli or North Street Store with their daily freshly baked goodies and takeaway coffees. All of this and more is literally on your doorstep!
Transportation is a breeze with the train station close by heading one way into the city and the other into Fremantle or the many bus stops dotted throughout the suburb. If you’re chasing a little more shopping and sophistication, then you’re moments away from Claremont Quarter and its surrounding cafes and restaurants. Situated within the popular Shenton College catchment zone, Swanbourne sits right in the middle of so many private schools. The options are endless and the lifestyle choices, second to none.
