STUNNING CHARACTER SANCTUARY IN THE INNER CITY!
Who needs weekends down south when you can come home to this?!
This gorgeous, turn of the 20th Century extended character cottage bursting with stunning period features and surrounded by lush, mature gardens offers an effortlessly relaxed ambience and sense of sanctuary that's often sought yet rarely found so close to the City and the deservedly renowned Highgate and Mount Lawley social precincts.
Sitting on a 462sqm (approx) green title R50 lot, less than 90m from Beaufort Street and 2.5km from the CBD, it features a flexible floorplan and surprisingly generous internal accommodation and living options combined with a backyard that looks like it was lifted straight out of a South West lifestyle magazine.
Here you and your family can retreat and unwind at the end of your busy day, duck out to get the best coffee and pastries on a lazy Sunday morning, or effortlessly entertain family and friends courtesy of the amazing array of restaurants, take-aways and gourmet supermarket just a short stroll away.
The house itself consists of up to 4 large bedrooms, two with superb ornate fireplaces, formal lounge with another exquisite fireplace, large family bathroom with clawfoot bath and generously proportioned kitchen overlooking the spacious open plan dining/living area - the latter areas all crowned by pretty pressed tin ceilings and having a direct aspect to the lush and tranquil outdoors.
