18 Rupert Street, Maylands, WA 6051

Positioned hilltop on a generous corner block in this quiet pocket of Maylands, character lovers will adore this Californian bungalow. Brimming with original features, including picture rails, high decorative ceilings, timber floorboards and leadlight windows, if the charm doesn't wow you, then the location will. The Swan River and the Maylands tourist precinct bursting with dining and shopping options are only a leisurely stroll away.

Its wide frontage offers loads of space in the established front yard separated by a charming white picket fence from the carport and recycled brick driveway. A rear wrap-around yard offers plenty of space with a deck, paving and two sheds - plus the opportunity to create your dream outdoor space for entertaining and relaxing.

The 1930s brick and tile home presents a versatile floorplan featuring three bedrooms. As you venture in, double doors embellished with exquisite leadlight guide you into a grand formal lounge. The kitchen, rich in character, boasts granite countertops and a unique touch - a 900mm free-standing cooker nestled where a fireplace once stood. The charm doesn't end there: the bathroom beautifully blends the old with the new, with classic subway tiles illuminated by a skylight above.

A few minutes walk will have you meandering along riverside trails, enjoying a latte in your favourite local café on Eighth Ave or Whatley Crescent, at supermarkets, The RISE recreation centre, Gibbney Reserve and Maylands Peninsula Primary School. You're within the catchment zone for John Forrest Secondary College and only a short drive from St Columba's School, Perth College and Edith Cowan University. Excellent transport links via Meltham Station and Guildford Road will have you in Perth's CBD or at the airport within moments. And when you're ready for a change of scenery, Mount Lawley's cosmopolitan precinct beckons nearby.
