Retro Soul With Serious Scope!

Comfortable, elevated and offering far more than first impressions might suggest, this charming 4 bedroom 2 bathroom plus study, family home has been cleverly extended over time to create the kind of space that simply works.

There’s an inviting warmth and honesty to its interior, with generous proportions, flexible living and plenty of personality providing a fabulous foundation for family life now — and further modern touches whenever inspiration strikes.

A spacious and tiled front living room is graced by feature ceilings and a gas bayonet for heating, with lovely tree-lined views an added bonus. It flows through to a huge tiled dining room where the “retro” ceilings are also prevalent, alongside a split-system air-conditioning unit and access to a large tiled under-cover entry terrace/veranda that doubles as a fabulous balcony with a leafy sunset vista, complemented by manual roller blinds for protection from the elements.

A functional and updated kitchen – off the dining area – is also tiled for easy living, with feature ceilings, double sinks, a water-filter tap, a walk-in corner pantry and a gorgeous French door to the sleeping quarters accompanied by a stainless-steel Hisense dishwasher, a stainless-steel range hood and a stainless-steel five-burner gas-cooktop/oven combination.

A generous king-sized master bedroom at the front of the layout boasts mirrored built-in wardrobes and its own splendid west-facing outlook to wake up to, whilst light, bright and large second and third bedrooms benefit from north-facing aspects – with mirrored built-in robes in the third bedroom a plus point. The fourth bedroom works well as a study, whilst a fully-tiled and renovated main family bathroom caters for everybody’s personal needs in the form of a walk-in rain shower, a separate bathtub, a toilet and twin stone-vanity basins.

An over-sized laundry/second bathroom features a shower, separate second toilet and double was troughs with under-bench storage, off a versatile activity room with access into the back fifth bedroom.

But outside is where things get seriously interesting, with a massive “blank canvas” of a backyard – beyond the activity room and overlooked by the wildcard fifth bedroom – serving up an almost ridiculous amount of room to dream big: imagine a swimming pool, alfresco entertaining, workshop, studio, granny flat, sprawling gardens or the ultimate kids-and-pets playground, subject to any necessary approvals. Also out back are a drying courtyard with a clothesline, a lemon tree and artificial turf as far as the eye can see.

Down below, a giant remote-controlled three-car under-croft lock-up garage enjoys roller-door access to the rear for a fourth vehicle to park securely. It also leads into a huge powered workshop – or storeroom – with double sinks and running water. Out front, there is ample driveway parking space for all, as well as room for your boat, caravan or trailer to one side.

There may even be future upside to unlock, with proposed State government R20 planning reforms potentially bringing subdivision into play for eligible blocks from approximately 700sqm — subject to the reforms being passed and implemented, along with all relevant approvals.

For now though, embrace the most ultra-convenient of locations in West Balcatta, with sought-after West Balcatta Primary School, the local Nido Early School, bus stops and the revamped Balcatta Senior High School all just footsteps away from your front door, with Revo Fitness, the local industrial area, the vibrant Main Street food and coffee strip, shopping at Centuria Northlands Plaza and even St Lawrence Primary School are nearby too, for good measure.

Also within a very close proximity are the likes of the freeway, Stirling Train Station, more shopping at Roselea, Westfield Innaloo and the amazing Karrinyup precinct, the coast, the city and everything in between. Big, bold and beautiful – this commanding character residence is packed full of surprises!
