What we love
Is the private rear position of this surprisingly-spacious 3-bedroom standalone duplex residence that isn’t part of a crowded complex at all – in fact, it’s your own tranquil sanctuary with two separate living areas, a big backyard and all. The fact that it has also been impressively renovated is simply an added bonus here, meaning that all of the hard work has already been done for you. Complementing generous proportions and a sense of both security and serenity is a sought-after location in a fantastic pocket of the suburb, just walking distance away from bus stops, lush local parklands and local shopping centre. The new Roselea shopping village is also nearby, as are restaurants and other eateries, the vibrant Main Street café strip in neighbouring Osborne Park, Balcatta Primary School, St Lawrence Primary School, Balcatta Senior High School, the freeway, train stations and of course, major arteries that lead you all the way down to our cosmopolitan Perth CBD – and even out to glorious beaches along Western Australia’s pristine coastline. Stop the search, because you have surely just found your new home.
