LOCATED within the historic town site of Guildford, heritage listed ‘Altham’ is a classic, character residence which incorporates a blend of turn of the century tradition together with 1930s archetpycal deco touches.

This includes a front portico and feature extension under the front portico, reminiscent of a time and place in history.

This beautifully renovated three by one home (with two WCs) has all the character features you would expect in a period home with high ceilings and decorative cornices, polished jarrah floorboards, french doors, feature fireplaces with cast iron inserts and hand painted tiles, along with picture rails, high profile skirting, generous sized rooms, with a stunning central hallway with corbel and crown arch and gorgeous lighting.

From the moment you step through the front gate you will be daydreaming about owning and living in this fabulous home - imagine yourself sitting on your front porch having a coffee watching the morning commuters walking by on their way to the train.

Inside the hallway is a spectacle of time honoured elegance with its sparkling pendant lighting being the piece de resistance.
A spacious lounge room has been extended at some point in the past to provide additional room for a formal dining area or perhaps a home office?

Imagine how cosy and enticing it will be with the cooler weather to have a fire burning in the fireplace.

There are a total of three generous sized bedrooms all featuring ornamental fire places, split system a/c and ceiling fans, while the master bedroom has a built-in robe.

A luxurious, very spacious bathroom incorporating a bath, walk-in shower, WC and an ornate vanity makes for very pleasant surrounds.

The adjacent kitchen features a central mantle over the freestanding gas oven and hotplate, a dishwasher, and plenty of storage and workbench for the chef of the home.

The laundry and second WC are also located at the rear of the home. The dining area opens onto a wonderful ambient outdoor entertaining area with wooden decking inc built-in blue tooth speakers and a TV point.

A low maintenance garden and 3m by 3m garden shed complete the picture.

Situated on a 304sqm block and offering street parking, this well-loved home is conveniently located within walking distance to Guildford’s restaurants, historic hotels, the popular cafe strip, fabulous shops and the river.
