Bassendean

Description of the home

The house is in a great location! We’re 500m from Bassendean train station, 1km from the local Hawaiian shopping centre (Coles and such), 1.5km to the river, and a heap of good cafes, bakeries, restaurants and bars only a walk away. I also enjoy how eclectic the suburb is with houses of many styles dating back to different moments in its long history - side note for anyone interested in architecture or who just doesn’t want to live in a suburb that looks the same.

It’s cliched but this house feels like a home. It’s a cosy 3x1, light drenched, well maintained 50 year old, with jarrah floorboards and timber architraves throughout. The owners are prompt with attending to any repairs so the house is in excellent condition.
One of the bedrooms is currently used as an office space that has two large jarrah desks in it - you’re welcome to claim one if you want a creative space or somewhere to read or game... whatever floats your boat.
The kitchen is quaint and equipped with a gas stove and oven. It's probably never been upgraded since the original build but still works perfectly well and is a workable size, although not big by any standard.
The bathroom is a decent size and has a bath and shower. The toilet comes off the laundry.
All the living areas are furnished with some space to bring in your favourite armchair, bookshelf or microwave (suggestions).
There is one ceiling fan in the main living space and ducted evaporative air conditioning through the rest of the house. The aircon is effective at cooling the house most of the time; I don’t use it very often just as a personal preference so I haven’t bothered to learn enough about the system to figure out why it doesn’t work ALL of the time.
I’ll mention again that the house is very well lit; there isn’t a space anytime of day that doesn’t have access to sunlight. This brings in tremendous energy and positivity and creates great areas to chill and read in.
I have some pictures and art hanging on the walls as well as plants throughout the house. I’d encourage you to get involved in this so that you feel comfortable in the house.

It has a large backyard that’s mostly grass which is our responsibility to keep alive but is professionally cut every month at no expense. It has a small veggie patch that I started and am cultivating with the hope to expand - and perhaps bring in chickens; a large shed for working on creative projects or just as a bit of extra storage space :)
