This delightful home on the side of Mount Melville tastefully balances 1960s character features with modern appointments for a lifestyle ideally suited to today’s families. Enhancing its wide appeal is the location of this property, less than 2km to town for shops, cafés and entertainment, and an easy bike-ride to schools. Neat gardens and lawns on its elevated 849sqm block create a fine setting for the white Hardiplank and tile home while inside, high ceilings and polished jarrah floors throughout most rooms highlight its warmth and charm. Inside the leadlight front door, a hall leads to the living areas on one side and the bedrooms on the other. The light, inviting lounge and the adjoining dining area enjoy wide-ranging views – the lounge towards the south coastal hills and the dining area as far as the Porongurups and Stirling Ranges. Around the corner is the sleek white kitchen with a dishwasher, gas cook-top, under-bench oven and a share of the mountain view from the sink. At the front, the queen-sized main bedroom has a robe and jarrah floorboards, while the other two rooms are doubles, fitted with carpet. Nearby, the modernised bathroom is complete with a bath, walk-in shower, vanity and toilet, and there’s a second toilet off the laundry. In the enclosed back garden is a paved courtyard, sheltered by trees and overlooking the expanse of lawn bordered by easy-care gardens of natives and succulents, in addition to a garden shed and an area for growing veggies near the far boundary. Adjoining the house is a single garage with workshop or storage space, and there’s extra parking on the drive. A perfect retreat for a family or couple appreciating the character, outlook and location, the property is also an exciting rental proposition and is currently leased until March 2025 at $430 a week.
