Welcome to the original Covich homestead (for which Covich Avenue was named) built C1940 and situated on a 957sqm corner block surrounded by European-style gardens. Build from solid brick and tile, this rambling family home has a huge 370sqm of living space with multiple living areas. With endearing character and charm, and a long list of features including lead light windows and doors, a large bay window in the dining room and a recently updated alfresco. This home feels like a private sanctuary, in a quiet neighbourhood just three minutes' drive to Beaconsfield Plaza, four-minutes to South Beach, and seven minutes to central Fremantle.

Enter the home via an elevated, tiled front veranda which is a lovely spot to sit with a cuppa and enjoy the afternoon sea breeze. The entrance hall features original jarrah floorboards that continue throughout much of the home, and a high ceiling decorated with a stunning art deco ceiling rose. Two spacious bedrooms peel off either side of the hall, each with gorgeous leadlight windows, and the other two bedrooms offer their own adjoining study/ retreat. This flexible layout can be used for multi-generational living, or a source of passive income as short-term accommodation (with separate bathroom facilities and entrance for one front bedroom). All the necessary cooling and heating is here, with ducted air conditioning and heating plus several reverse cycle air conditioners throughout.

In the centre of the home, there is a sitting room to your right with a central fireplace and a spacious lounge room to your left that leads through to the dining room lit beautifully by a curved bay window, a standout feature of the home. The tiled dining room overlooks verdant gardens filled with mature trees, lush lawn, and veggie gardens. Adjoining the dining room, a massive, well-appointed kitchen also offers garden views. The kitchen is sure to please the chef in the family with plenty of built in timber cabinetry for storage, a free standing Smeg oven with six burner cooktop, and a dishwasher.

Off the kitchen, a set of French doors leads outside into a meandering yard separated into different outdoor living 'zones'. First a generous gabled patio with recently laid paving offers a lovely, shaded spot for entertaining or cooking a BBQ whilst looking out over the gardens. There is the original limestone shed/ workshop which could easily be remodelled to create a separate studio for art or crafts. A side access gate takes advantage of the corner placement of the block making it easy to store a caravan, boat or other vehicles on the ample ground space.

Endearing character and charm bring a sense of history to a home that could house the largest of families, and still have plenty of room to spare. Zoned R20/R25 this sub-dividable block is an attractive prospect when looking to the future. In a fabulous Beaconsfield location where everything you need is within easy reach. Close to Winterfield Primary School, and Christ the King School, the beach, public transport, and just 30 minutes to the Perth CBD.
