33 Duke Street, Karrinyup WA 6018

Deceptive from its modest street frontage, this charming four bedroom, two bathroom circa-1970s home will capture your imagination through its versatile split-level floor plan and a private rear outdoor setting where a shimmering below-ground swimming pool is splendidly overlooked by a paved poolside courtyard and an enclosed games room and patio-come-sunroom entertaining area. There is also plenty of scope to add your own modern personal touches throughout, further enhancing the property’s future value.

An ultra-convenient location is simply an added bonus here, with the property nestled well within the Deanmore Primary and Churchlands Senior High School catchment zones, whilst also finding itself situated very close to lush parklands and natural bushland, St Mary’s Anglican Girls’ School, bus stops, the exciting Karrinyup Shopping Centre redevelopment, cafes, restaurants and the new-and-improved Scarborough Beach foreshore. There truly is no better place to live right now.

At entry level, double doors reveal a spacious front lounge with low-maintenance flooring, whilst a separate dining room extends out to an enclosed atrium-style courtyard and can be accessed via a gorgeous kitchen where sparkling granite bench tops and an island breakfast bar for casual meals meet double sinks, glass splashbacks, a Blanco range hood, a Haier Induction cooktop, a Westinghouse Virtuoso oven and a Miele dishwasher for good measure. Upstairs, the three carpeted minor bedrooms all have mirrored built-in wardrobes and are complemented by a large fully-tiled main bathroom with a corner bath, separate shower, a toilet and heat lamps.

Downstairs, the study is also carpeted for comfort, the laundry feature stylish “retro” floor tiles and the master bedroom (with a walk-in robe and fully-tiled ensuite with a shower and toilet) is warmed by timber floors – and that’s before you even step foot through the family room and outside to the pool. Features include a Chemigem pool-cleaning system, a Rinnai log fireplace (to the lounge), a pot-belly log fireplace (in the family room), white plantation shutters to the front of the property, electric roller shutters to the front windows, charming slate flooring, plenty of built-in storage options throughout (including a linen cupboard in the laundry), ducted-evaporative air-conditioning, feature down lighting, skirting boards, Foxtel connectivity, a solar hot-water system, a garden shed, a lock-up side storage area off the family room, fruit trees, a side-access gate and a circular driveway with two access points, preceding the single lock-up garage and its mezzanine storage level.
