38 Scales Way, Spearwood WA 6163, Australia
Solid as a rock and perched on a 1056sqm block, this double brick and tile Italian special has got the lot!
Any stand-up guy will tell you the primo feature here has to be the gated SIDE ACCESS to a cleverly placed 8mx10m powered workshop. Here you can make grappa, hang tons of salame or even host your niece’s engagement party! One thing’s for certain, no one will hear your angle grinder going from down here!
On the remaining 700sqm, sits a decently proportioned four-bedroom home, with a large open plan design, decades ahead of its time. Ok, the old wall gas heater – ‘she no worka no more’ – but structurally, this home could survive a stampede of ladle wielding nonnas chasing 10 cent melanzane from Galati’s!
Inside, we find wide hallways, towering ceilings and spacious rooms. Large homes can often feel a little dark, but with more windows than the Sistine Chapel, here natural light floods in all day long.
The kitchen is big enough that a table could go smack bang in the middle of it and still have enough room to cook a couple hundred cannoli shells. My imagination goes wild thinking back in the day to a table in the middle with the older women gathered around it making gnocci. These days, it might be a large island bench with extra storage and a breakfast bar that your kids will gather around in the morning before school.
Out the back, there’s plenty of space to grow some beans, hide your cash and even work on your penalty kick.
Nope, they sure don’t make them they used to, so even if you could build right now, why would you?!
Why build in some backwater suburb you’ve never heard of when you could own a home with a shed that sits on more land than the average lot size these days – all this, located a couple of minutes from Coogee, Freo and Cockburn!
