Tucked away in a whisper-quiet street where the chirping local birdlife provides the soundtrack and the magnificent Perth Zoo grounds await just footsteps from your front door, this stylish 3 bedroom 2 bathroom multi-level sanctuary proves that great things really do come in perfectly-packaged parcels.
Cleverly designed to maximise every inch of its easy-care footprint, it delivers an effortless blend of modern comfort, low-maintenance living and lock-up-and-leave convenience. But it's the spectacular tiled rooftop terrace that steals the show.
Framed by sweeping treetop vistas and breathtaking city-skyline views to the north, it's the ultimate spacious and breezy setting for sunset drinks, morning coffees or simply soaking up the magic of one of Perth's most unique and tightly-held lifestyle locations.
Downstairs, a powder room off the tiled entry foyer precedes a sunken open-plan dining, kitchen and living area - also tiled under foot and boasting a feature log fireplace heater, an intimate east-facing garden courtyard that lets the morning sunshine filter in and seamless sliding-stacker-door access flowing out to a tiled north-facing rear alfresco-entertaining courtyard, with a ceiling fan.
The well-appointed kitchen itself is graced by sparkling stone bench tops, an island breakfast bar with a Villeroy + Boch sink, a sleek white Asko dishwasher and 900mm-wide integrated stainless-steel range-hood, Smeg Induction-cooktop and Smeg under-bench-oven appliances. Also at ground level is a separate laundry with a stone counter top, under-bench storage, a double-sliding-door linen press and internal shopper's entry via the remote-controlled double lock-up garage.
The first floor is highlighted by a massive carpeted master-bedroom retreat with a walk-in wardrobe and a large and breezy front balcony that takes in a pleasant tree-lined vista in the process. Its light, bright and fully-tiled ensuite bathroom is sublime and features under-floor heating, twin "his and hers" Villeroy + Boch stone vanities, a walk-in shower with a storage niche, a toilet and delightful city glimpses from within.
A tiled study nook also services this part of the layout, along with a lockable walk-in under-stair linen press and a fully-tiled main bathroom - under-floor heating, walk-in shower, separate bathtub, stone vanity, under-bench storage, toilet and all. Both carpeted spare bedrooms on this level have mirrored built-in robes and are flooded with natural light. The second bedroom also looks out to the city skyline, just like the roof terrace at the top of the nearby staircase.
Stroll leisurely to St Columba's Catholic Primary School, South Perth Primary School and the sprawling Sir James Mitchell Park alongside our picturesque Swan River, with easy access to the vibrant South Perth esplanade precinct and Mends Street Jetty (and ferry) complemented by a
very close proximity to the buzzing Angelo Street food, coffee and shopping strip around the corner, Wesley College, bus stops, verdant community parklands, other cafes and
eateries, golf courses, more excellent schools and everything in between.
Peaceful, private and packed with personality, this is urban living with a distinctive twist!
