Positioned on a generous 598sqm green title block in one of Floreat's favourite streets, this beautifully presented Art Deco home exudes timeless appeal. Close to the Birkdale Street shopping precinct, public transport and local parkland, this well-maintained property is walking distance to just about everything and will appeal to buyers looking for character, convenience and outstanding outdoor entertaining spaces.

Entering through established gardens shaded by paperback and frangipani trees, this lovely home offers a charming welcome via its curved art-deco verandah, a perfect spot to capture sea breezes on warm summer evenings while watching the family enjoy their very own petanque court.

Once inside, high decorative ceilings, warm jarrah floorboards, original picture rails and exquisite leadlight doors have all been lovingly maintained.

Further enhancements over the years have resulted in a contemporary and extremely comfortable family home. The practical floorplan now offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two separate living areas, including the original formal lounge at the front and a large open plan kitchen, dining and living area at the rear. Bathed in natural light, this central hub is where the family comes together each day and provides a seamless transition from indoors to out.

From here, the living areas flow effortlessly to a superb, north facing, outdoor entertaining space overlooking mature gardens. Featuring a stunning frangipani tree, established camelias and raised herb beds, the outdoor area offers a calm, private oasis, surrounded by nature. A place for year-round enjoyment, the large, sheltered deck has played host to many gatherings of family and friends over the years.

Ensuring a comfortable and cost-effective environment, the owners have installed rooftop solar panels, ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning, energy efficient glazing, an alarm system and automated reticulation from their own bore.

Mere steps from the popular Birkdale St shopping precinct, this delightful home is close to shops, cafes and restaurants, doctors' surgery and pharmacy. The location is extremely convenient, with easy access to Subiaco, Claremont and the beach as well as direct public transport to the city. It's an easy walk to local parks in almost every direction, while the more energetic can jog or bike ride to Perry Lakes, Bold Park or City Beach.
