Sensational coastal views, a versatile floor plan and light, spacious rooms characterise this imposing home high on Mount Melville. Built in 2000, it’s a beautifully designed family home with extensive glazing to maximise the fabulous panoramic outlook from King George Sound, around to the city, over Princess Royal Harbour and out to the windfarm. The enviable lifestyle this quality home offers is enhanced by its location less than 1.5km to the city for shops, schools and entertainment. Built of smart weatherboard with a Colorbond roof, the two-storey home features fine karri floors and stairs, stylishly complemented by modern facilities for practical everyday living and entertaining. Upper-level decks on three sides provide sheltered verandas underneath, and all bedrooms have glass doors to the outside. On the ground floor is the main open living space consisting of a family room and dining area, with the modern designed kitchen on one side, ideal for those that love to cook. In the air-conditioned family room, a Scandinavian-style wood fire on a tiled plinth looks amazing and warms this big area in winter while you can enjoy the amazing views. The contemporary kitchen is another winner. It sports sleek charcoal cabinetry and flooring contrasting with ivory splashback tiling, and is finished with high-quality appliances including an induction cook-top, a double oven and a ceiling rangehood. This level also houses a family or multipurpose room and a corner study, which is a generous room with access to a semi-en suite bathroom shared by a big double bedroom on the other side. Down a few steps is the double garage, with cabinetry along one wall cleverly concealing the laundry appliances. Upstairs is a comfortable lounge as well as a spa bathroom and four more bedrooms. The big, air-conditioned master bedroom has a built-in robe and renovated en suite shower room with vanity and toilet, and the others are doubles, two with en suite shower rooms and robes. A lift that’s less than two years old facilitates access between floors and the back garden, ample storage, solar power and rainwater tanks are other benefits of this exceptional property. The house is set high on the sloping block of 1240sqm opposite bush reserve. There’s a shed in the back yard, which is mostly in lawn with stonefruit trees, a reticulated veggie patch and native gardens, while the front is set off by paved driveways and cottage garden beds. This superior, spacious home close to the city presents an outstanding opportunity for astute purchasers valuing quality and lifestyle-enhancing facilities.
