78 Kent Street, EAST VICTORIA PARK

Land Size: 556 sqm

Corner the Market

On a green titled 556m2 corner block this original 1928 jarrah weatherboard cottage has stood the test of time.

You’ll love this elevated home with a gorgeous wrap around verandah and unique bay window in the main bedroom.
The established garden with its leafy outlook provide a very “Queenslander” vibe.

Soaring ceilings, glowing jarrah boards and lead light glass speak of another time.
For the real history buffs you may notice the very rare Esse anthracite stove in the front room.
Super cool and the only one I’ve seen in the flesh in a local home in the last 20 odd years!

With 2 bedrooms plus a sleep-out enclosed back verandah, this home truly is a unique character cottage.
The main living room boasts a set of French doors opening onto the verandah on the north side of the home, inside outside living that we now demand, well before its time.

Although the floorplan remains very original your modern living requirements are catered for.
A renovated country style kitchen with timber benchtops, provides a stainless under bench cooker, stainless dishwasher and gas hob, all the accoutrements that you’ll need to cook up a storm.
The original enamelled Meters wood stove still remains in situ, a ‘tip of the hat’ to this home’s long past.

As well as a toilet and bathroom under the main roof of the home there is also a functioning outdoor toilet, the perfect party loo!

There is a freestanding powered garage with double gate access from the side street (Gascoyne Street), there is also room for plenty of cars off-street and there is street parking if required.

The fully fenced yard and nearly 40m frontage to Gascoyne Street creates some easy opportunities for future ancillary accomodation.

Complete with split reverse cycle air conditioning, a ‘new’ roof, NBN this home is the blank canvas you have been looking for.

Location matters.
Well serviced with regular public transport, across the road from the very popular Harrold Rossiter Reserve (a large dog friendly park) and also across from the incredibly popular Kent Street High School lauded for its specialist programmes, including Cricket and Aviation.
The vibrant East Victoria Park, restaurant, café and shopping precinct is only a few blocks walk away.

Don’t miss the first open, as opportunities to view will be limited.

Character homes in well maintained original condition like this are as scarce as hens’ teeth!
