A semi-circular driveway curves towards the front door, offering a single car bay sheltered from the elements. The garden blooms with citrus and native Australian flowers and foliage including kangaroo paws and banksia. Enter through the west facing veranda where the spacious and light-filled interiors retain and celebrate the prized mid-century features; period cornices, angled architecture and a row of awning windows that stream sunlight in, offering additional ventilation in those warmer months. Sunsets are especially beautiful, flooding the west facing rooms with warm golden hues.
The sweeping high ceilings and jarrah floorboards extend down the grand hallway comprising of three generous bedrooms, two with built-in robes, and soft, taupe carpet underfoot. The main bedroom has a reverse cycle air-conditioner with ceiling fans in the remaining two for year-round comfort. The dining leads out to a paved brick courtyard with a hanging peppermint tree tucked into the corner, adding rustic charm to this space behind the privacy of established hedges. Let the kids roam free in the secure back garden while you enjoy undercover alfresco dining with loved ones. The neat u-shaped kitchen is well appointed with Miele appliances, stone bench tops continuing to the splash back, and a breakfast bar - perfect for entertaining guests while you cook.
Tastefully updated in recent years, the bathroom features a shower, bath and vanity with a separate WC in the spacious laundry. Outdoor access to the back garden leads to a drying area down the side, alongside a corner shed and veggie garden bed framed by timber screening. Grey-painted brick exterior at the rear of this home nods to its mid-century modern aesthetic.

Melville is a small suburb 11 kilometres south of Perth City. Its two square kilometre land area is bound to the north by Canning Highway and Leach Highway in the south. Melville's most substantial development took place in the 1950s.
Though very close to many commercial sectors just outside of its boundaries, Melville is largely removed from urbanisation. Home to a number of parks and reserves, the suburb provides locals with numerous native public spaces to explore and enjoy. There are also two local schools, Melville Primary School and Melville Senior High School, and a recreation centre.
