Welcome to 9 Scarpia Street - a beautifully maintained 1890/1900 property that perfectly blends country character and charm with spaciousness and modern living.

Nestled on a generous and pretty 1178m2 block, this characterful convict-built home has been sympathetically extended and updated to include a large modern kitchen/dining/family room area, family bathroom, ensuite bathroom and rear deck.

Hardwood floors and high pressed metal effect ceilings in the original part of the cottage are complimented by jarrah flooring, high ceilings and attractive moldings and trim in the newly extended areas

Make your way along the shaded front verandah to the stunning lead-light front door. Step into the entrance hall, opening onto two spacious bedrooms with exposed fireplaces (non-functioning) and original sash windows (screened).

The central room of the house - a fabulous spot for a 7" tall Christmas tree or dining table - joins a cosy lounge room with the original wood burning stove (a stash of firewood supplied in the shed will last you all next winter).

A third bedroom has a modern ensuite bathroom with large walk-in shower. The wisteria gracing the outside wall keeps this room beautifully cool in summer.

The modern open kitchen/dining area has a farm style ceramic double sink, cream built-in cabinets and varnished wooden work tops and is spacious enough to accommodate an 8-seater dining table. Features include spit-system air-conditioning, a 900mm oven & 6-ring gas hob purchased 2023, as well as a 2-drawer stainless steel dishwasher.

The large family bathroom/laundry has a full bath, shower, ample storage and room for washing machine and clothes dryer.

French doors lead from the kitchen area onto the elevated rear deck which is shaded with wisteria and grape vines. Festoon lighting make it a fabulous spot for entertaining. From here you can see both Mt Bakewell and Mt Brown. A gas hot water system is accessible under the deck.

The rear and side gardens have a new 2.4m Colorbond fence, providing complete privacy. The established garden is full of native trees, shrubs and roses.

As well as a good sized shed, there is a generous and shaded chicken enclosure suitable for up to 8 hens, with the former outhouse being their secure hen house. You are welcome to adopt the 6 resident hens who come with nesting boxes and feeders.

The property has one title but comprises two lots, with a septic system installed in 2011.
The large block provides ample space for
3 parked cars and there is potential to build a carport or garage at the property entrance.

Scarpia Street is a quiet street, on the north west edge of the town, 20 minutes walk or a few minutes drive from the town centre. The area is graced with heritage homes, many empty lots and fields.

The town of York, a delightful 100km drive east of Perth, is Western Australia's first inland settlement, rich with history. Its charm attracts thousands of tourists annually. With a population of about 3,000, it is a friendly welcoming community with medical facilities, a swimming pool, sporting grounds, and school, great hotels, cafes and shops, an IGA and Mitre 10. Be as involved as you like or enjoy your privacy in this lovely home.

York is the perfect place to enjoy the tranquility and pace of rural living while Perth and its international airport is just 1.5 hours away.

Family homes in York are highly sought-after so don't miss this rare opportunity to own a gorgeous character cottage which would be double the price in historic areas of Perth.
