UNDER OFFER How would you best utilise two homes on one block in one of Beaconsfield's best streets?- Rent one to reduce the mortgage and live in the other.- Buy with a friend or family member to be in this superb location.- Live in one and renovate the other.- Combine the two for larger extended families.- 673sqm block Zoned R25...options ?No 3 Trafford Street has a completely charming street front, its rare Art Deco entry statement giving it an air of grandeur and style. As you step in from the front porch, you will find large rooms with high ceilings and timber floors. You will be delighted by the Art Deco fireplace and other embellishments of the original lounge room, which makes a stunning, light-filled bedroom.The 2 front bedrooms look out onto the front garden. One has an additional dressing room, which would also make the perfect ensuite conversion.The kitchen off the end of the hall has an open country-kitchen appeal, with stained glass windows, lots of bench space, and is ripe for further improvements to maximise its generous proportions.At the back is a third bedroom and an enormous lounge/rumpus room with views across the wonderful rear garden. Perhaps the first real surprise is the enormity of the back yard, which draws you out, with its elevated entertaining deck surrounded by greenery and old limestone walls. The block is 673sqm and zoned R25 with exceptional potential for the future.A set of stairs from the back patio leads to the second dwelling, cleverly built above the rear of the original cottage so as not to impinge on any of the open garden space. At the top of the steps you get your first glimpse of the views at this height, then enter into a self-contained studio apartment with full-sized kitchen and raked ceilings.On this level there is a good-sized bedroom/living space with glass sliding doors leading out to a small Juliet balcony. The view from here is extraordinary - a large expanse of blue ocean vista framed by the green gardens and rooftops of Freo on one side, and one of Fremantle's most beautiful, grand heritage homes on the other. You could buy this property just for the view here and laze away afternoons on your balcony, soaking up the serenity.This home is in need of some renovation, which offers a true opportunity to buy, polish and prosper in one of Fremantle's finest streets. We look forward to seeing you at the home!
