A CHARMING character house has been reincarnated into this spacious, modern family home we see today at 75A Star Street, with a transformation that will no doubt impress every buyer.
The current owners bought the original two-bedroom, one-bathroom dwelling 4½years ago and have undertaken a number of renovations including adding two bedrooms, a laundry, a large garage, guest toilet, insulation, double-glazed windows and reverse-cycle ducted airconditioning.
“Most importantly, the kitchen has been upgraded with stone benchtops, a large island bench and we opened it up into the dining,” they said.

Entertaining is made easy with the french doors from the living room opening out into the spacious decked veranda with ceiling fan and roller blinds and overlooking the enclosed front garden.
“The area is also fantastic; we love going to Fletcher Park, there are great food outlets on Archer Street and if you are up for a little bit of exercise it’s a nice 25 min walk to Albany Highway where the choice of food outlets and little shops offer something for everyone,” the owners said.
“The closeness to the city is incredibly convenient; going to work usually takes only 15-20 minutes, either by public transport or car.
“One thing we really appreciate about the house and area is the next-door neighbours who are all lovely and have been helping us out with works around the house or housesitting whilst on holidays.
“The developments at Lathlain Park have been fantastic and with the West Coast Eagles moving here soon, the area will flourish even more.”
