27 Sapphire Crescent, Balcatta WA 6021

Sometimes, less really is more. Exceptionally low-maintenance and wonderfully easy to enjoy, this inviting 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, corner retreat, offers the perfect combination of generous proportions, effortless “lock-up-and-leave” convenience and a peaceful courtyard sanctuary where entertaining friends or simply soaking up the sunshine becomes second nature.

A gated and paved side courtyard wraps around to the front of the property and doubles as a splendidly secure place to sit and relax, taking advantage of a lovely northwest-facing aspect and gorgeous even sunsets at the same time.

Internally, a single-door broom cupboard and double-door linen press ensure ample storage options, with a single French door shutting off the expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area and its gleaming wooden floorboards. Split-system air-conditioning and gas-bayonet heating keep things both cool and cosy throughout the year, whilst the kitchen itself is well-equipped with a breakfast bar, a walk-in pantry, tiled splashbacks, double sinks, a Technika range hood, a Whirlpool four-burner gas cooktop and an under-bench oven of the same brand.

Both bedrooms are carpeted, inclusive of the larger north-facing master suite where a walk-in wardrobe is complemented by a light and bright ensuite bathroom – featuring a bubbling corner spa bath, a separate shower, heat lamps, a powder vanity, under-bench storage and a toilet. The second bedroom next door has a built-in robe and pleasantly looks out to a paved rear entertaining courtyard that can be seamlessly accessed from the living space and plays host to a Matador mains-gas barbecue. It also doubles as a private drying area with a clothesline, whilst capturing plenty of natural morning sunshine early in the day.

A separate second toilet can be found off the laundry, alongside a double-door storage cupboard and extra under-bench cupboard space. The laundry also extends out to the back courtyard, for good measure.

With lush green parks nestled at both ends of the side street, this sought-after pocket on the desirable “west” side of Main Street is mere footsteps away from the vibrant local café and restaurant strip, via a tranquil laneway. Also nearby are bus stops, playgrounds and other sprawling neighbourhood parks, with Balcatta Primary School and St Lawrence Primary School both within walking distance too – and the revamped Balcatta Senior High School also in close proximity.

This gem of a find is also perched only a short drive from major shopping centres at Karrinyup and Westfield Innaloo and is also handy to local shopping – including Northlands Plaza and the fantastic Roselea complex. Outstanding community sporting clubs can be found within arm’s reach as well, as can picturesque lakes, the freeway, the coast, our cosmopolitan Perth CBD and surrounding entertainment hotspots.

Comfortable, practical and full of charm and future potential to add your own personal modern touches throughout, this one is definitely a downsizer's dream wrapped up in one very appealing package!
