Experience quality family living in its finest form right here, from within the walls of this stunning 5 bedroom 2 bathroom two-storey residence that tranquilly sits at the end of a sought-after Sorrento cul-de-sac and even enjoys splendid ocean views to Rottnest Island from up top. Inspired in design by its original - and current - owners, this spectacular Novus home won a 2006 HIA award in the custom-build category and simply oozes contemporary class throughout. Beyond double front doors lies an immaculate tiled entry foyer that makes an immediate statement and sets the scene for the modern elegance and excellence that lies within.
A large formal dining room welcomes you inside, preceding the gleaming New South Wales Blackbutt floorboards of a warming open-plan family, meals and kitchen area where most of your casual time will undoubtedly be spent. The living space boasts a striking recessed ceiling and a feature gas log fireplace, whilst a massive kitchen plays host to sparkling granite bench tops, glass splashbacks, double sinks, an appliance nook, a corner walk-in pantry, a stainless-steel range hood, a five-burner Blanco gas cooktop and oven and a stainless-steel Fisher and Paykel "Q" dishwasher. Off here, double doors reveal a carpeted theatre room with a splendid outlook to the backyard lawns.
Also downstairs are the separate minor sleeping quarters, serviced by a separate bath and shower in the main family bathroom, a separate toilet and a built-in study nook - or two-person workstation - with a desk and shelving. All three carpeted spare bedrooms have built-in double wardrobes, with the third and fourth bedrooms fitted with their own built-in computer desks for good measure. Upstairs, a spacious parents' retreat is carpeted and has its own granite kitchenette to the side, complete with matching tops and splashbacks and over-head and under-bench storage. It also flows out to a cedar-lined rear balcony from where a pleasant tree-lined aspect meets a sea view that captures a sublime snapshot of "Rotto" in the distance. Brilliant in its versatility is a fifth bedroom - or home office - that can be whatever you want it to be and features built-in double robes and its own sunset views from the window. On the other side of the retreat, double doors open into a commodious master suite that exudes a hotel-like feel with its over-sized walk-in robe, direct balcony access, sweeping ocean vista from bed and a sumptuous fully-tiled ensuite - bubbling spa bath, rain/hose shower, twin "his and hers" marble vanities, linen press and all. A two-way powder room off here also has a marble vanity and can be accessed from the retreat, as well.
The alfresco area off the main living zone is virtually fully enclosed and affords you a wonderful indoor-outdoor entertainment option, consisting of a cedar-lined ceiling and a full kitchen setup with granite bench tops and splashbacks, a built-in Turbo Select gas barbecue, a commercial stainless-steel range hood and a sink. A door to the rear yard helps bring the outside in, whilst a shimmering below-ground 10-metre solar-heated swimming pool is the highlight of the back garden and allows you to enjoy a dip for a few extra months each year. Out front, there is ample driveway parking space for a boat, caravan or trailer - separate from the double garage.

Sorrento is an established outer-northern suburb of Perth admired for its coastal lifestyle. Bound by the Indian Ocean to the west, Sorrento is four square kilometres in size. Though settlement of Sorrento dates from the mid 1800s, rapid development and growth didn't occur until the 1970s. Growth continued through till the early 1990s and has remained relatively stable since the mid 1990s.
Residents of Sorrento enjoy the desirable position of being close to major urban developments while still removed enough to soak up the benefits of suburban living. Relaxed and laid back, Sorrento features a number of parks and walkways for locals to explore and has access to two beaches. Seacrest Village Shopping Centre services the suburbs basic commercial requirements and there are two local schools.
