Original character meets a blend of modern and contemporary in the form of this solid 3 bedroom 1 bathroom circa-1970s home that enjoys a tranquil setting just footsteps away from the picturesque bushland outskirts and walking trails of beautiful Lake Gwelup.

Securely positioned behind the privacy of an electric gate, you won’t have a worry in the world once you step foot inside this split-level residence that plays host to an under-croft double garage on the ground floor, as well as a spacious room with character brickwork and generous proportions to be used for many purposes depending on your family’s needs. A feature stone-clad front entrance reveals the main central level where solid wooden Jarrah floorboards warm the sleeping quarters, inclusive of a large front master bedroom and a versatile third bedroom or “study” with seamless outdoor access to a huge rear pitched patio-entertaining area and beyond.

A fully-tiled and impressively-renovated bathroom consists of a bathtub with a stylish rain showerhead, servicing everybody’s personal needs. Upstairs, a light, bright and comfortable family room is graced by gleaming Tasmanian Oak timber flooring, as well as a splendid leafy aspect out of its window, split-system air-conditioning and classic feature ceilings.

An expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area sits adjacent and includes tiled flooring and splashbacks, a quality Chef Induction cooktop, a sleek white oven, a Dishlex dishwasher, stainless-steel range hood, double sinks and a water-filter tap. The functional laundry has also been cleverly revamped and flows out to rear where lush gardens and backyard lawns, a separate gazebo with 15 amp power supply (the perfect area for an outdoor spa) and an exotic selection of citrus and avocado trees combine to provide a stunning backdrop to fantastic patio entertaining and more.
