In the heart of the Hillcrest pocket of Bayswater, 31 Kitchener Avenue is the kind of home that just feels right — a classic weatherboard cottage frontage, a quiet street, and a location locals rarely leave.
From here, you can walk to Riverside Gardens or Hillcrest Reserve in minutes. Grab a coffee along the Bayswater Village strip, let the kids ride to the park, or enjoy an evening stroll by the river. Hillcrest Primary School and Chisholm College are close by, and with Bayswater Train Station and Tonkin Highway nearby, commuting is straightforward.
Inside, the home has been fully renovated while retaining its original warmth and character. Restored, wax-coated jarrah floors run throughout, complemented by high ceilings and abundant natural light. A beautiful decorative ceiling rose adds a standout heritage feature and a subtle touch of elegance to the main living space. The open-plan living and dining area sits at the centre of the layout — practical, comfortable and easy to live in — with split-system air conditioning throughout the home ensuring year-round comfort.
The kitchen strikes the right balance between style and practicality, thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A sleek waterfall island benchtop creates a strong focal point and casual gathering space, complemented by an attractive tiled splashback that adds texture and visual interest. A gas cooktop with matching rangehood, oven and generous storage completes the space — functional, refined and ready for daily use.
Three well-sized bedrooms provide flexibility, whether you need space for kids, guests or a study. Two include built-in robes. The bathroom has been updated with a freestanding bath, double shower, vanity and toilet — clean, modern and well executed. The home also features a cleverly designed laundry, thoughtfully laid out with practical storage and bench space to keep everyday tasks organised and out of sight.
Out the back, a sizeable garden opens up behind the home, offering plenty of lawn for children and pets, plus space to entertain. The covered patio provides a shaded area for gatherings, while rare rear laneway access adds genuine practicality. There’s additional parking with room for a boat, trailer or other toys, along with a workshop/shed for storage or projects. An additional rear outside toilet adds extra convenience, particularly when entertaining or working outdoors. A double undercover carport at the front completes the picture.
Fully renovated, rich in character and set in one of Bayswater’s most desirable streets, this is an opportunity that delivers now and into the future — the only luxury not on offer here is time.
