14 ST PATRICK CLOSE, Stirling WA 6021

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

Reasons To Call This Home
Don’t be fooled by the modest street appeal – behind this quiet façade lies a seriously-impressive family surprise. Tucked at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac with the leafy Antonio Scarfo Reserve just footsteps away at the end of the street, this charmingly-versatile 4 bedroom 2 bathroom home dishes up multiple living zones, a massive backyard for the kids (and even the grown-ups) and a separate 1x1 rear “granny flat” that’s perfect for multi-generational living or bonus rental income. It all depends on what your personal needs are.

It’s the hidden gem that keeps on giving and is perched within the catchment zones for the revamped Balcatta Senior High School and both Lake Gwelup Primary School and West Balcatta Primary School. The popular local Stirling Village shopping precinct can be found nearby, along with more shopping at Northlands Plaza, Roselea, Westfield Innaloo and the amazing Karrinyup precinct. The likes of the freeway, public transport (including Stirling Train Station and bus stops nearby), the CBD and some of Western Australia’s finest beaches are also only minutes away in their own right, along with other picturesque lakeside parklands that grace the neighbourhood.

The details
Beyond a gorgeous bull-nose entry verandah and striking leadlight front door lies a sunken and carpeted formal lounge room with a decorative ceiling rose.

Double doors reveal a central dining area – with a feature skylight – that overlooks the lounge and leads into a large study space with the most splendid of window aspects to savour.

A sunken activity/play room will keep the kids happy (right by the dining room), whilst the separate family room at the back of the house has both a ceiling fan and a gas bayonet for heating.

To the left of the dining area sits a functional kitchen with sleek granite-transformation bench tops, double sinks, a water-filter tap, a step-in pantry, a microwave nook, a stainless-steel four-burner Bosch gas cooktop, a new Westinghouse oven/grill, a white Bosch dishwasher, pleasant views out to a generous backyard (with lots of lawn and elevated decking to relax and unwind on) and, like the family room, direct access out to a massive pitched patio that encourages year-round alfresco entertaining, with a ceiling fan.

The separate sleeping quarters are headlined by a spacious master-bedroom suite with a walk-in wardrobe, full-height mirrored built-in robes and an intimate ensuite bathroom. The spare bedrooms all have both ceiling fans and built-in robes. The second bedroom even comprises of a built-in study desk.

The stylish main family bathroom boasts a shower and separate bathtub, as well as “retro” floor tiles that are also prevalent within the laundry. The latter is a separate wet area with a walk-in linen press, a separate second toilet and access out to the side drying courtyard.

Back outside, the extra granny-flat accommodation features an open-plan living/bedroom area, a kitchenette with a range hood, a modern ensuite and its own gated drying courtyard – with an electric hot-water system.

Extras include timber floors, a double linen press, solar panels, ducted-evaporative air-conditioning, ducted vacuuming, an alarm system (with external perimeter sensors), security doors, a gas hot-water system, reticulation, low-maintenance lawns and gardens, a side garden shed, two side-access gates leading to the backyard, a secure remote-controlled double lock-up carport and ample driveway parking space.

This is the kind of place that grows with you – and gives back, too.
