On offer is a quiet, north facing position that is super convenient to the main street of Margaret River. Held by the current owners for over 22 years and carefully maintained, this is a solid lifestyle investment opportunity.
Walk to the main street shops, restaurants and for the kids a short ride to both the primary and secondary schools and sporting amenities. A fantastic balance between convenience and tranquillity. A quintessential Margaret River lifestyle location.
Relax in your elevated private front yard, overlooking the tall timbers of the forest and settle into the bird song across the road.

The inviting residence is designed up to take full advantage of the elevated location. Thoughtfully designed to capture the northern orientation to the forest and boasting high ceilings throughout the large open plan kitchen living area, the home conveys a true sense of light, space and wellbeing.

A breeze for entertaining with Granite transformation tops and central bench for guests to gather and soak up the warmth of cooking on the wood fired stove. Summer time BBQs never looked so good in the front garden under the veranda in the speckled shade of the tall trees, or a massive family gathering in the back yard with room for a decent game of cricket, perhaps a pool?
Plenty of room for family and friends with four bedrooms and two bathrooms along with a second living area and large laundry room. The master bedroom is generous in size with built in robes and the luxury of a corner bath ensuite, located at one end of the house conveniently segregated from the other bedrooms.

The townsite of Margaret River is located in the south west agricultural area, 277 kilometres south southwest of Perth and 48 kilometres south southwest of Busselton. It is located on the Margaret River from which it derives its name. The precise origin of the naming of the river is not known, but it was possibly named by John Bussell in honour of Margaret Wyche, a friend in England who was expected to follow the Bussell's to Australia. The name is first shown on a map of the region published in 1839.
In 1910 the Margaret River Progress Association wrote to the Minister for Lands requesting a townsite be declared at "the Upper Margaret Bridge". The reason given was that "the district is likely to be dotted with public buildings several miles apart in the near future if a townsite is not made available shortly". The District Surveyor who inspected the area preferred an area near the lower bridge on Caves Road, but this land was not available. Lots were surveyed in 1912, and the Townsite of Margaret River gazetted in 1913. In 1918 the name of the townsite was changed to "Margaret", but it was changed back to Margaret River in 1927, due to local usage of the name always being Margaret River.
