LISTING DESCRIPTION
as of May 2017

STUNNING POST WAR COTTAGE The owners instructions have been made very clear. "Patrick we are happy to reduce our asking price, just get us SOLD" Things are bound to heat up in Bassendean this weekend, with a $20,000 price reduction and 4 home opens scheduled. Circumstances simply could not be clearer.Built in the same year Sir Donald Bradman played his last Test Match for Australia. Undefeated on a 5 month tour of England, the Australians wrote themselves into folklore as they became "The Invincibles." We're offering a special piece of 1948 memorabilia, limited to just one. The neighbors will be cheering you all the way to your front door.Set on a town site sized 493sqm block, this home is located within an easy stroll of the Bassendean Train Station, the rejuvenated and cosmopolitan Old Perth Road strip, shops, schools and tavern. The iconic Swan River is only 1.3km from the front door making it a simple walk for even the smallest of dogs.1948 character combines with 2017 style and sophistication, resulting in a complimentary blend of design elements that simply work beautifully together. Polished jarrah floor boards, feature skirting and timber window frames feature throughout. Crisp decor and contemporary lighting add much brightness and vibrancy to the visual experience. Extensively renovated throughout there's now added light, space and storage not present in the original 1948 home. The kitchen features Bosch and Blanco appliances and the original Metters Warren No1 wood stove has been retained providing that element of nostalgia. The combined bathroom and laundry makes great use of space under the skillion roof for that all important utility in the home. Adding both comfort and peace of mind the home features ducted evaporative air for cooling, gas bayonets for heating and electronic security.The owners have elected to present the home with multiple living areas. As a result a number of configuration options are available. The lounge room would easily convert to the third bedroom if required. There is still quite generous living space available if the three bedroom option is taken. Living space is further enhanced by the addition of a gabled outdoor area adding almost 50sqm of outdoor space that's almost more indoors than out. The installation of full length retractable screens allows for almost all year round use of this stylish outdoor living room.This home just oozes street appeal with white picket fencing and garden hedges framing the art which is the home. The full width verandah provides a panoramic view of the surrounding streetscape inviting you to pick up a book and read away an afternoon. Or chat to passing neighbors. We still do that in Bassendean.For almost 70 years, 119 First Avenue, Bassendean has stood proudly in "The Avenues". Generations have come and gone and now its time for it current growing family to move on. Our owners have secured their next home and so this one must be SOLD. Come and experience this inviting character home for yourself this weekend. We think you will be hooked.* The seller reserves the right to deal with offers prior to the sale closure date.Property Code: 4083
