Behind a white picket fence lies this weatherboard-and-iron cottage with a bullnosed verandah, leadlight doors, high ceilings, fireplaces and polished floorboards.
Agent Nichole Jones says the property presents a great opportunity for a buyer looking to get into the Bassendean area. “It is on a large block with subdivision potential,” she says. “It’s a real traditional homestead with lots of warmth and charm. The size of the rooms, the ornate ceilings, the picture railings – these are the sorts of features you don’t get in more modern homes.”
The home includes formal living and dining rooms, a kitchen with an original Metters wood stove plus a study and rear sun room. It’s on a 994-square-metre corner block, a stroll away from the river.
