WRAY AVE is a happening place these days, with a vibrant cafe scene, great boutiques, a funky little retro shop, gourmet butcher, and some of the best-priced fruit and vege going.

So living at this abode right in the heart of the action has plenty of appeal, even before walking through the front door.

Classic 1900s

But of course when you do, you’ll fall in love with this classic early 1900s home, with its many ceiling roses, fireplaces, deep skirting, and glowing jarrah floors.

And that’s just the original section of the three-bedroom/two-bathroom home, sitting on 420sqm.

A cosy central lounge and small formal dining room mark the end of last century gravitas and the beginning of 21st century living, with a sweeping open-plan at the rear.

A bank of almost floor-to-ceiling bifold doors fill this sleek space with light.

White caesar stone benchtops contrast with soft, biscuit-brown drawers and cupboards – including a floor-to-ceiling double pantry – in a kitchen that is the very model of modernity.

Peel back the bifolds to make indoors and outdoors merge in tranquil harmony. There’s a covered alfresco area, mellow brick paving and a grassed, limestone terrace.

Attractive limestone walls and glass barriers surround a small pool, which would no doubt be a drawcard for short-term visitors in the pleasant brick studio apartment.

Set at the western end of Wray Ave, (opposite the pub) parking shouldn’t be an issue, with a double garage and plenty of street bays.
