77 Forrest Street, Beverley, WA 6304 - More Details
From $629,000
Well, isn't this the pretty picture? As a home, and as a deal! Over half an acre of land, a prime position close to town and all the awesome community facilities right over the road. Parks, pools, sport and more.
There is something very special about a home with genuine character. Not the sort of character somebody has tried to recreate with a few decorative features, but the real thing. Built around 1911 it has beautiful timber floors, pressed tin ceilings, original doors, sash windows and the sort of workmanship that belongs to another era.
It's an enormous 2,224sqm block and a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to find at this sort of price.
LIVING HERE
This is a home with so much charm, but it's also an exceptionally practical place to live.
The wide central passage creates a wonderful sense of space, and the rooms themselves are generously proportioned. The main bedroom is particularly impressive, with soaring ceilings, beautiful character details and a split-system air conditioner.
The living spaces offer plenty of flexibility. There's a gorgeous front lounge with an open fireplace, a central living and meals area adjoining the kitchen, and additional rooms that can be configured to suit your needs. Whether you're looking for bedrooms, a study or somewhere to enjoy a little quiet time, you've got options.
The kitchen is a practical space with plenty of bench space, storage, a gas cooktop and oven. Beyond that is a versatile butlers pantry area with room for extra refrigeration and all the bits and pieces that make everyday life work.
It's a home from another era, but one that works beautifully for life today.
OUTSIDE
Now this is where things get really interesting.
The block is 2,224sqm, stretching approximately 110 metres from front to back. That's over half an acre, and with the house positioned towards the front, you've got an extraordinary amount of usable space behind it.
The gardens are an absolute delight.
There's a wonderful combination of established cottage-style gardens, roses, lavender, succulents, cacti, fruit trees and productive vegetable-growing areas. You'll find a grapevine, a mulberry tree, a fig tree, herbs and leafy greens, with plenty of space to grow whatever else takes your fancy.
It's the sort of garden you can spend hours enjoying, but there are also plenty of established areas that don't demand constant attention.
And then there are the sheds.
With power and water available towards the rear of the property, excellent vehicle access and room for trailers, equipment and projects, there's enormous potential to make this space your own.
The generous covered parking area alongside the home also offers excellent height clearance, making it particularly useful for decent size vehicles.
WHERE IT IS
Beverley is a fantastic Wheatbelt town, and if you haven't been here recently, you really should make the trip.
We're set in an exceptionally convenient position, directly opposite the recreation grounds and close to the bowling club.
The school, recreation centre, shops, bakery and town centre are all within walking distance.
There's a wonderful sense of community here, with sporting clubs, social activities and plenty of opportunities to get involved. Or, if you prefer, you can simply enjoy the space, peace and relaxed country lifestyle.
It's also a practical option for people who want a country lifestyle without feeling completely disconnected from Perth. Check it out on the map and see for yourself just what is on offer here.
