12 Purdom Road, Wembley Downs WA 6019

Enjoying the best of both worlds by being nestled on a commanding corner block, yet close to the quieter cul-de-sac end of Purdom Road, this unique 4 bedroom 3 bathroom family home offers quality low-maintenance modern living and is split into two zones - inclusive of a self-contained 1x1 studio apartment that has excellent Airbnb and home-quarantine potential and will also interest either blended or extended families, seeking something a bit more flexible and versatile. It really has been designed with limitless potential and endless possibilities firmly in mind.

The separate flat sits above the remote-controlled double lock-up garage and has its own private street-front entrance, a large storeroom, a kitchenette with a sink and storage, split-system air-conditioning, a generous ensuite bathroom (with a shower, toilet and vanity) and a carpeted open-plan bedroom and living area with lovely tree-lined inland views from the front balcony.

The main 3x2 house has its own gated entry points at both the front and rear, with the latter gate revealing a stunning side entertaining courtyard, a protective shade sail, timber decking and a wood-fire pizza oven for good measure. The sensual sea breezes that filter through the residence will definitely cool you down this summer, whilst gleaming wooden floorboards throughout will help keep everybody warm during those chilly winter months.

Internally, the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is where most of your casual time will be spent downstairs and boasts sparkling granite bench tops, glass splashbacks, double sinks, a breakfast bar for quick meals, pull-out pantry storage, a Smeg stainless-steel range hood, a six-burner gas cooktop/oven of the same brand, an integrated Miele dishwasher and a classy Vintec wine/drinks fridge. The adjacent laundry-come-butler's pantry boasts matching granite bench tops, tiled splashbacks, more over-head and under-bench storage, a broom cupboard, internal hanging space and external access for drying, down the side of the property.

Also on the ground floor are a walk-in pantry/storeroom under the stairs, a separate linen press, a powder room and a large carpeted home office that is brilliant in both its flexibility and versatility. Upstairs, the sleeping quarters are headlined by a giant king-sized master-bedroom suite that is carpeted like the other rooms and comprises of ample built-in-wardrobe space and a light, bright and spacious ensuite bathroom - double shower, marble vanity, toilet, heat lamps and all. There is another powder room on the top floor too, alongside two sliding double linen presses, a sleek main family bathroom (with a shower, separate bath, stone vanity and heat lamps) and two spare bedrooms with built-in robes of their own.

Bringing up your family in this wonderful location is unrivalled, with a host of top schools nearby - Holy Spirit Primary School, Wembley Downs Primary School, Hale School, Newman College, Churchlands Senior High School, the International School of Western Australia and St Mary's Anglican Girls' School amongst them. Walk to bus stops and lush local parks too, as well as The Downs Shopping Centre.

The revamped restaurant precinct - and 24-hour IGA supermarket - at the popular Empire Village Shopping Centre, the spectacular new Karrinyup Shopping Centre redevelopment, Westfield Innaloo Shopping Centre and even the Wembley Golf Course are all within arm's reach. And don't forget about City Beach either, or new-look Scarborough Beach for that matter. Impressive is an understatement, as far as this amazing home is concerned!
