Perched proudly on top of the hill, this rare, mid-century home is waiting for your personal modern touches to be added throughout, be it through clever renovations, extensions or both. Set on a generous block, it boasts breathtaking city, river and hillside views that invite you to savour every single sunrise. With classic character at its core and endless potential to make it truly your own, this hilltop haven is where style, space and stunning outlooks come together in perfect harmony. Beyond a lush front-yard lawn and a tiled entry foyer, double doors reveal a spacious front family room where you are first introduced to high ceilings, wooden Jarrah floorboards and stunning curved walls, complemented by split-system air-conditioning and a picturesque fireplace. The living space also extends out to a covered front terrace balcony with its own slice of the amazing aspect from ground level. A large adjacent formal dining room opens out to a secure side drying courtyard and has its own servery window into the kitchen. The central open-plan kitchen and casual-meals area is tiled and features split-system air-conditioning, a pot-belly wood-fire heater in the corner, a water-filter tap, gas cooking and a dishwasher. Also downstairs is a tiled activity area that leads into a functional laundry with storage, double stainless-steel wash troughs and a third bathroom. There is under-stair storage off the entry foyer too. Upstairs, there are two separate balconies - each with its own breathtaking vantage points. The covered patio balcony off a giant master bedroom captures the river, city, hills and surrounding treetops in all of their glory. This bedroom is also home to split-system air-conditioning, a ceiling fan and wall-to-wall built-in wardrobes. A spacious second bedroom has its own fan and split-system unit, alongside fitted and mirrored built-in robes. The third bedroom has a ceiling fan, whilst the roomy fourth or "guest" bedroom suite on the top floor features split-system air-conditioning, a walk-in robe and a fully-tiled ensuite bathroom with a bidet. Also on the upper floor are a double linen press and a timeless light-filled main family bathroom with a bubbling corner spa bath. Outside, single and double French doors connect the activity room to a delightful patio for covered entertaining, complemented by a gas bayonet for a barbecue. A unique feature of this property is a massive games room, studio or home office, that can be whatever you want it to be, and has its own split-system air-conditioning unit for climate control. On one side of this room is a powered workshop and at the other end a single carport. Hidden behind this building is a secret backyard sanctuary with newly-laid lawn, lemon, orange and olive trees and heaps of room for a future swimming pool. The options here are endless! A separate outdoor toilet makes it four toilets in total on the property and will come in very handy for when the next party is at your place. Hop, skip or jump to the stunning Kadidjiny Park around the corner, with Melville Primary School only walking distance away and Melville Senior High School also nearby. Public transport, shopping (including at Westfield Booragoon), our picturesque Swan River and even Fremantle are also close to this commanding, yet tranquil, street setting. This is where views inspire and dreams begin. Think of it as your unique "canvas" on the crest!
