27 Glengariff Drive, Floreat WA 6014

Based on a clever design inspired by the current owners' love of European architecture, this exemplary 5 bedroom 3 bathroom two-storey home boasts large open spaces that are flooded by natural sunlight and are accompanied by private relaxation areas with plenty of room for family entertaining.

Every room within the property benefits from delightful views and pleasant aspects - whether it be out to the lush sunken backyard lawns and gardens, of the shimmering below-ground swimming pool, towards the splendid Perry Lakes treetops or out to the gorgeous light-bathed rear terrace graced by handmade Spanish Saltino tiles. Even the interior can accommodate a large crowd - and with an abundance of light always prevalent in winter and multiple shaded areas created during the summer months, it really is a residence for all seasons.

Brilliant in its versatility, the bright and spacious studio/guest room behind double doors is arguable everybody's favourite zone and is situated away from the other (over-sized) bedrooms, featuring a striking recessed ceiling and the ability to be converted into an art-and-craft room or similar. It sits near the large study, a third/guest bathroom with a huge shower, toilet, vanity and clothing chute, a generous under-stair storeroom, another storage cupboard off the entrance and a commodious front lounge-come-television room with its own double doors for peace and quiet, heaps of built-in storage cupboard and seamless double-door access out to the exquisite pool area.

The headline act of the ground floor though is the chef's dream of a kitchen, forming part of an expansive open-plan family and dining area where stunning pressed-tin splashbacks, quality Cracked Pepper Caesar Stone bench tops, Shaws Classic double sinks and custom cabinetry with built-in wine racking meet integrated Bosch five-burner gas-cooktop, twin-oven, microwave and dishwasher appliances - and don't forget about the combined laundry/scullery right next to it all. That leaves the upper level where the main sleeping quarters lie - highlighted by a spacious master bedroom suite (almost a full parent's retreat) with a massive fitted walk-in wardrobe and a divine ensuite bathroom, comprising of a shower, separate bathtub and twin "his and hers" vanities.

Nestled in a fantastic part of the suburb where the streets are lined with Jacaranda and other mature trees, this private, but calming, haven - part of a close-knit community and surrounded by lovely neighbours - is very close to sporting facilities, picturesque Perry Lakes parklands, Bold Park's mesmerising walking trails, City Beach, Floreat Forum Shopping Centre, magnificent restaurants, Floreat Park Primary School and other top Western Australian educational facilities, including Presbyterian Ladies' College. How wonderful!
