Located within the historic town site of Guildford, heritage listed "Altham" is a classic, character B&I residence that incorporates a blend of turn-of-the-century tradition together with 1930's Archetpycal Deco touches including a front portico and feature extension under the front portico, reminiscent of a time and place in history.
This beautifully renovated 3 x 1 home (with two WC's) has all the character features you would expect in a period home:-
* High ceilings with decorative cornices
* Polished jarrah floorboards; french doors
* Decorative feature fireplaces with cast iron inserts and hand-painted tiles
* Picture rails; high profile skirting,
* Generously sized rooms
* Stunning central hallway with corbel & crown arch and gorgeous lighting
From the moment you step through the front gate, you will be daydreaming about owning and living in this fabulous home. You will imagine yourself sitting on your front porch having a coffee watching the morning commuters walking by on their way to the train station. Inside, oh wow - how delightful! The hallway is a welcoming spectacle of time honoured elegance with its sparkling pendant lighting being the piece de resistance. A spacious lounge room has been extended at some point in the past to provide additional room for a formal dining area or perhaps a home office is more in keeping with today's lifestyle. Just imagine how cosy and enticing it will be when the weather turns a bit cooler to have a fire burning in the fireplace.
There are a total of three generous sized bedrooms all featuring beautiful ornamental fireplaces, split system a/c and ceiling fans for year round comfort. The master bedroom has the added convenience of a built-in robe. A luxurious, very spacious bathroom incorporating a bath, walk-in shower, WC and an ornate vanity makes for very pleasant surroundings for your daily ablutions.
An extension at the rear is currently used as a large dining room, however, you could also utilise this as a family/meals area if required. The adjacent kitchen features a central mantle over the freestanding "Euro" gas oven & hotplate, a "Dishlex" dishwasher, plumbing for the fridge, a 1&1/2 bowl sink and plenty of storage and workbench for the chef of the home. The laundry and second WC are also located at the rear of the home. The dining area opens onto a wonderful ambient outdoor entertaining area with wooden decking inc built-in Bluetooth speakers and a TV point. A low maintenance garden and 3m x 3m garden shed complete the picture.
Situated on a 304 m2 block and offering street parking, this well-loved home is conveniently located within walking distance to Guildford's restaurants, historic hotels, the popular cafe strip, fabulous shops and the river. Add in the ease of accessibility to public transport (bus and train) and the fact that it is home to the prestigious Guildford Grammar School and you have a multitude of reasons why this suburb is so popular with buyers. Major retail shopping centres are within relatively close proximity in nearby Midland and Morley. The St John of God Hospital in Midland and the Midland Railway Workshop precinct with its medical and educational hub (Curtin University Campus) supporting environments for health and science disciplines offer work and study opportunities with minimal commute times.
