A stunning corner position opposite the picturesque lakeside Mawson Park and so close to beautiful beaches surrounding the magnificent Hillarys Boat Harbour is the fitting setting for this impressively-renovated 5 bedroom 3 bathroom family haven that has all of the bells and whistles and flawlessly combines comfortable modern living with spectacular outdoor entertaining.
There are two separate driveways here, meaning ample parking space for all involved. One of the driveways doubles as your entry into a huge wraparound front yard that is securely gated, boasts established low-maintenance gardens and features easy-care artificial turf – with fabulous decks to either side.
Inside, a welcoming front lounge room makes an instant first impression and is the ideal place to relax and unwind, whilst enjoying tree-lined views out to the park, across the yard. French doors provide access from here into an open-plan family, dining and kitchen area where the ceilings are high, the stone bench tops sparkling and the cabinetry sleek and white. The stylish kitchen also features soft-closing drawers, double sinks, a range hood, a gas cooktop, a Blanco oven and a Bosch dishwasher for good measure. Large windows throughout mean that the interior is light, bright and bathed in sun, most of the day.
The home’s main-bedroom wing consists of a powder room with a stone vanity – adjacent to a huge carpeted king-sized master retreat where separate fitted “his and hers” walk-in wardrobes meet a fully-tiled ensuite bathroom with a rain shower and twin stone vanities. Headlining the separate minor sleeping quarters is a large fifth or “guest” bedroom suite with a ceiling fan, mirrored built-in robes, a splendid front-yard vista to wake up to and a fully-tiled ensuite/third bathroom – walk-in rain shower, stone vanity, toilet and all.
Double French doors off the family room seamlessly extend entertaining out to a huge rear alfresco that is pitched, has a ceiling fan and comprises of an under-cover clothesline, as well. It is all neighboured by artificial backyard turf and a shimmering below-ground resort-style swimming pool – with built-in poolside benches and more than enough room beside it for everyone to laze about in the summer sun. Talk about making a splash!
Stroll to bus stops from here, whilst indulging in a very close proximity to Hillarys Primary School, St Mark’s Anglican Community School, coastal cafes and restaurants, shopping at both Hillarys Shopping Centre and Westfield Whitford City, additional public transport at Whitfords Station and even the freeway. Nothing is too far from your front doorstep, no matter which direction you consider. The most perfect of locations truly does exist!

Hillarys is an outer-northern suburb of Perth bound by the Indian Ocean. The suburb is six square kilometres in size and is a residential area with commercial sectors in its northeast and significant parklands along the coast. Hillarys' growth was minimal until the 1970s and it wasn't until the 1980s through to the 1990s that rapid growth occurred.
Arguably the most notable feature of Hillarys is its boat harbour. A crowd-pleaser for both locals and visitors alike, the large marina and tourist development is home to bars, nightclubs, restaurants, shopping facilities, accommodation, kid-friendly activities and plenty of attractions. Also in the suburb are several parks and walkways, Westfield Whitford City Shopping Centre, Hillarys Shopping Centre, a ferry terminal to Rottnest Island and a local primary and high school.
