The sleepout could be styled as a fabulous sunroom or study looking out to the backyard. In the fully fenced backyard, a partitioned brick workshop, garage and a separate laundry with WC sit amongst vintage rose bushes, grape vines and garden beds waiting to be planted with vegetables. A sheltered, paved area between the home and laundry provides an ideal outdoor entertaining space. Sold on an ‘as is’ basis, the home’s interiors are little changed since built, with 1950s cabinetry in the kitchen and the original tub in the bathroom. The formal lounge features a decorative brick fireplace that could be recommissioned to create an impressive centrepiece. The prize for hard work, vision and perseverance could be an exceptional home with a desirable location. Frederic Street has the air of a hidden gem with its potential just beginning to peak through the surface. Those with an eye for style, heritage and convenience are taking advantage of a great location and a neighbourhood of authentic character homes. Metres from the La Salle College Campus and an easy walk from Ray Marshall Park and the Swan River, the services and amenities of Midland are minutes away, and so too are road and rail links to the CBD and beyond. Don’t miss the opportunity to create an exceptional home in an incredibly central location. Whether you accept the challenge and transform this California bungalow into a modern home or begin again taking advantage of the wide 1120 sqm block (STA), this could be the property or your dreams.
