52 Broadway, Bassendean, WA 6054

Behind a white picket fence and a wide verandah with original lacework, this three bedroom character cottage on 511 sqm pairs period charm with a thoughtful modern renovation.

This home offers it all allowing you to enjoy a fire crackling in winter and a dip in the pool on summer afternoons. Homes that combine genuine character, a finished renovation and room to entertain don't come up often in Bassendean, and this one is ready to move straight into.

Step inside and you will immediately notice the character features including jarrah floorboards and high ceilings. The living room is set around the fireplace, now fitted with a wood heater, and is seamlessly connected to the kitchen, dining and outdoor alfresco. 

The kitchen and dining area is full of natural light and perfectly renovated with crisp white shaker cabinetry, gas cooktop, oven and dishwasher. An exposed-brick original hearth retains the original character while you enjoy the modern additions.

The main bedroom is a real standout. An original fireplace is framed by a deep navy feature wall and mantel, giving the room a rich, heritage feel that sits well against the soft grey walls and panelling. Jarrah floorboards run underfoot, a wide window lets in plenty of natural light, and split-system air-conditioning keeps it comfortable all year. The two remaining bedrooms match the main bedroom in size with plenty of room for a king bed, home office or extra space to play. 

The bathroom is oversized and beautifully finished, with a deep freestanding bath for long, slow soaks and a generous walk-in shower. A separate laundry sits just off the bathroom, keeping everyday chores out of the way, and opens straight out to the side yard for easy access to the washing line.

Outside, the covered timber deck strung with festoon lights overlooks a glass-fenced pool and paved entertaining area.  Out front, the lawns and gardens are established and easy to care for. With ample parking and a large shed for storage, the home is as practical as it is charming. 

This is the part of Bassendean locals love. Head down Broadway and you'll pass Caff on Broadway for your morning coffee before reaching Bassendean train station, under a 10-minute walk, with direct trains into the Perth CBD. Keep going and you're on Old Perth Road, where brunch at Toe Beans or Holly Rayes and the Bassendean Shopping Centre are all within about a kilometre. Families are well looked after too, with Anzac Terrace Primary School less than a 10-minute walk away, and St Michael's, Bassendean Primary and Eden Hill Primary all close by. When you want some green space, the Swan River foreshore at Sandy Beach Reserve and Ashfield Flats is just a few minutes' drive away.
