11A Simper Crescent, White Gum Valley WA 6162

The birds are all you hear in this secluded two-storey home cleverly designed on solar passive principles to create a relaxed functionality that really works. Wide verandas wrap around for an indoor-outdoor feeling, and polished concrete floors flow from the north-facing open-plan through to another zen living space at the rear.

Upstairs, three bedrooms have long green vistas over the rooftops, with a study space for working from home in this peaceful and inspiring environment. Living on the crescent is a warm community experience, with the cafes of the creative Stackwood precinct nearby and the primary school two blocks away.

Hidden down a wide driveway, sliding glass doors lead to the northern open-plan living space, with recessed lighting, polished aggregate flooring and a sleek kitchen in charcoal and white create an atmosphere of serene simplicity. A large walk-through pantry leads to the laundry, with access to storage under the stairs. Also on this level is a powder room, and you step down into another lovely living space with its own access to the side deck, and a series of windows framing garden views.

Upstairs is all treed outlooks and charcoal carpeting, with a spacious bathroom, a study zone with built-in shelving, and three bedrooms. The master bedroom includes an expansive ensuite with a bathtub and colourful basins by Fremantle artisan Zinongo. It also has the best green vista of all, facing north to a magnificent Moreton Bay fig tree.

All the practicalities are in place for ease and comfort: reverse-cycle air-conditioning, gas bayonets, Foxtel, three 3000 litre water tanks plumbed in and set up for future grey-water system, low-maintenance landscaping, garden shed, and extensive paved parking.

You’ll love the peace and quiet, the sustainable features, the friendly neighbourhood and the handy location: cycle down to Fremantle or take a quick drive to South Beach.
