FINAL DAYS before AUCTION - 1st April @ 3.00pm (unless sold prior)

Perched in an elevated position is a characterful home in one of Perth's most sought after suburbs, 88 Blencowe Street has been a pillar of prosperity for several families over the decades and has the sturdy bones to begin its next chapter.

Only walking distance from some of WA's best schools, glimpses through the trees to Lake Monger, quiet streets, close to several social hubs and just a short bike ride into the CBD, this property is ideally located and has boundless potential for a growing family that like being amongst the action.

Originally built from brick in 1910 on a Green Title, 905sqm elevated block, this property has been meticulously maintained and updated along the way, suiting either immediate occupation in all its retro glory, or full renovation to be brought into 2017.

A home with plenty of stories to tell, the superb condition of the house is a true testament to the pride in ownership displayed over the years. From a classic timber deck step into the entry to enjoy a traditional layout with marvellously maintained Jarrah floors and high ceilings throughout. A sizeable formal lounge oozes rustic charm with your fireplace and mantelpiece perfectly completing the picture.

The groovy kitchen has been updated with all the modern conveniences a masterchef requires including a stainless steel five-burner oven stove and plenty of bench space, all while maintaining its old-school charm. Just off your culinary cove are the dining and living rooms overlooking your wonderful garden and grape vines. Unlike many homes of the era, this property is flooded with natural light allowing for comfortable, light and bright living all year round.

In typical 20th Century fashion the three sizeable bedrooms feature stunning high decorative ceilings and ornate cornices, feeding onto a wide central hallway. The bedrooms share a fantastic period bathroom, with all the modern plumbing underneath ensuring 2017 levels of cleanliness and comfort.

Your enormous backyard is host to grape vines, lush gardens, a grassy expanse, outdoor bathroom and laundry just as your grandmother may have had. With 907sqm of land this is more than enough space for children and a furry friend to burn off energy, entertain guests on a summer afternoon or extend the original home to create the rustic palace of your dreams. Your garage sits at the rear of the property backing onto the laneway for maximum privacy, with plenty of street parking for when you have visitors.

Ready to be lived in today in all its classic glory or fully transformed into a 2017 rustic mansion in one of Perth's most convenient locations, if you're looking for a traditional family home near the city, 88 Blencowe Street cannot be missed.
