Welcome to paradise, in the form of this beautifully-renovated 3/4 bedroom 1 bathroom, 2WC character family home, where timeless charm meets modern style and sophistication.
Nestled in sought-after South Scarborough, the residence boasts an oasis-like backyard that's perfect for both relaxation and entertainment. Imagine warm summer days spent lounging by your shimmering below-ground salt-water concrete swimming pool, surrounded by poolside palm trees, a poolside courtyard, lush greenery, newly-laid backyard lawn and overall tranquillity.
It is all so splendidly overlooked by a huge full-width outdoor patio-entertaining area, with a lovely shaded courtyard within the garden, protected by the trees. A single pedestrian gate to access Audas Lane at the rear is simply an added bonus - especially when walking home from the glorious surf and sand at either Brighton or Scarborough Beach.
Inside, prepare to be pleasantly surprised by the quality that complements charming preserved original features such as solid wooden floorboards, high ceilings, decorative cornices, feature timber skirting boards and frames and gorgeous ceiling roses.
A welcoming front lounge room doubles as a home office or 4th bedroom and comprises of an open fireplace, a ceiling fan and lots of timber shelving and storage. The huge front master bedroom boasts built-in wardrobes and a ceiling fan, whilst a large second bedroom also has a ceiling fan, for good measure.
The separate third bedroom benefits from delightful north-facing light and has an open fitted robe recess. A spacious and fully-tiled bathroom has been cleverly revamped to include a ceiling-mounted rain shower, a free-standing bathtub, a toilet, vanity and heat lamps.
Even the laundry has been stylishly updated with sleek white cabinetry, subway-tile splashbacks and a direct access door, leading to the backyard. The separate toilet also features floor-to-ceiling tiling, to keep in theme with the adjacent bathroom.
However, most of your casual time will be spent embracing the warmth and airiness of a commodious open-plan family, dining and kitchen area, shut off by an exquisite French door and playing host to a feature skylight and wood-fire heater. The classy kitchen itself has been modernised for the resident chef, with sparkling stone bench tops, double Franke sinks and an island breakfast bar complementing a Westinghouse Induction cooktop, a microwave-combi oven of the same brand, a Westinghouse pyro-clean oven and an integrated Miele dishwasher.
The family room also extends out to the alfresco via double sliding doors, for a seamless indoor-outdoor integration. Out front, there is space to park a boat, caravan or trailer beside the separate remote-controlled double lock-up garage, with a side-access gate securing additional parking for two cars - or another boat/trailer - in tandem.
A relaxed and convenient lifestyle beckons, with this timeless and contemporary haven situated just around the corner from the Brighton Road Food Market, the Brighton Bakery and the local icon that is Driphouse, as well as Scarborough Primary School, more cafes and restaurants along Calais Road even the buzzing Doric Street food and coffee precinct.
Bus stops and lush neighbourhood parklands can also be found nearby, along with the local library, the Scarborough Leisure Centre, community sporting facilities, other outstanding schools (including the International School of Western Australia) and shopping at both Westfield Innaloo and the new-look Karrinyup complex. Nothing is considered too far, no matter which direction you decide to head in. What a fantastic location!
