Only 15-minutes from the CBD is one of Perth's best kept secrets. Ashfield is a pocket of peacefulness, wedged between the vibrant and bustling Bayswater and Guildford, overlooking a quiet strip of the Swan River opposite the beautiful Garvey Park.
This expansive 4x3 home on Ashfield Parade has a hideaway feel despite its riverfront views. A long, ascending driveway perches the home high enough to take in the abundance of surrounding trees and winding Swan River. Heads up, you're going to want bikes and kayaks, and the double garage that fronts the home has plenty of storage for all of them. Once inside, the calm continues. Connected to the wide entry, a perfectly situated study or home office is ideal for welcoming clients or retreating to work away from the main living spaces of the home. A powder room is opposite, so business and home life can easily be separated if needed.
The main bedroom downstairs is a treat, spacious in itself, let alone the ensuite bathroom with all the modern luxuries of bath, separate shower and double basins. Wander further into the home and it blooms into an open plan living space featuring a large kitchen begging to be used for family or friend gatherings, dining and lounge. Summer soirees will be a cinch with outdoor living space connected to the open plan area. A large deck for alfresco dining, whether you're having evening drinks or morning coffee and croissants, and garden extends your living space beautifully to soak up Perth's warm climate. Upstairs, you're spoilt for choice with a second main bedroom option also featuring a built-in robe and ensuite bathroom. Two more bedrooms reside at the eastern end of upstairs, with another bathroom and powder room between them. Both rooms have built-in rooms and treetop outlooks, with natural light pouring in.
At the upper floor's western end, another living space provides an alternative area to retreat to with a spectacular, wide balcony providing idyllic river views. While spacious and offering so many different ways to live, the added beauty of this home is also found in its low maintenance, lock-and-leave qualities. Beyond the home, you'll want to experience the suburb further with nature literally on your doorstep. Immerse yourself in bushland on morning walks through the Ashfield Flats, where trails meander through Perth's largest remaining river flat, and hundreds of bird species can be sighted.
Some of Perth's best picnic spots are a walk away, so load up your bike's basket and discover Bayswater's Riverside Gardens or cross the bridge to Garvey Park. This hidden suburb rarely has home's for sale, so contact Phong Pham on 0402 859 781 before it quickly slips back off the market.
