18 Paine Court, Karrinyup WA 6018

What we love
Step inside this adorable 2 bedroom,1 bathroom street-front character home and you will get that “warm and fuzzy” feeling right away, brought about by its original charm and enhanced by a whisper-quiet location that is surprisingly close to absolutely everything you could ever want or need. A gated front-yard entrance secures a paved courtyard and elevated lawn area that is perfect for both kids and pets, whilst the residence’s interior is graced by wooden floorboards and high ceilings – a testament to yesteryear. The welcoming front lounge room is huge and is kept comfortable all year round by split-system air-conditioning and a feature electric log fireplace.

The adjacent dining and kitchen area will delight you with its breakfast bar, double sinks, six-burner gas cooktop, Freestyle oven and a sleek white dishwasher. Both bedrooms are large in size, inclusive of the master where mirrored built-in wardrobes meet a second split-system air-conditioning unit. A fully-tiled and revamped bathroom across the hall has a walk-in rain shower (with a bonus shower-hose attachment), a stone vanity and a toilet, whilst the external laundry plays host to a separate second toilet, as well as ample built-in storage options. Also at the rear and off the dining space lies a sunken entertaining courtyard that is brilliant in its privacy, captures all of the lovely morning sunlight and features an over-sized built-in Everdure gas barbecue with sparkling granite-top surrounds. A trickling water feature out here also helps set the mood, no matter what the occasion.

What to know
A powered side storage shed can be accessed from the back courtyard and also has a roller door leading out to the front yard, whilst an under-cover clothesline and low-maintenance artificial turf can also be found at the rear. Complementing a secure remote-controlled double lock-up carport are a gas hot-water system and reticulated gardens.

An abundance of lush local parks and fantastic children’s playgrounds can be found nearby – including picturesque Lake Gwelup Reserve, whilst the spectacular – and now-complete – Karrinyup Shopping Centre redevelopment, Karrinyup Primary School, Karrinyup Library, bus stops, restaurants, Our Lady of Good Counsel School and even the prestigious Lake Karrinyup Country Club are all only walking distance away in their own right. You will also fully appreciate the very close proximity to other top schools – St Mary’s, Hale and Newman College included, the freeway, Stirling Train Station, Hamersley Public Golf Course and glorious swimming beaches, stretching from new-look Scarborough, to Trigg and all the way up to Hillarys Boat Harbour. Those seeking to enter into a wonderful pocket of Karrinyup should look no further than right here. This is as good as it gets as far as locations go!
