3A Nannine Avenue, White Gum Valley WA 6162

Secluded and serene: light-filled family home

Set in flourishing native gardens with serene spaces inside and out, this substantial brick and tile home on green title block welcomes the light while offering a sense of privacy and seclusion. The shady walled courtyard is a delightful spot to relax, dine, or just listen to the birdsong in this eclectic community neighbourhood. Booyeembarra and Valley Parks, the golf course, primary school and the Community Orchard are all nearby, and there’s a range of inspiring activities close at hand at Sullivan Hall and the SHAC collective of artists and creatives. The home’s thoughtful layout, with flexible spaces and exterior access, makes it ideal for working from home in a peaceful, airy environment.

Beyond the two splendid river redgums on the verge, the path through the native garden leads to the entry and a large living area. Beautiful solid timber floating floors in honey-coloured Sydney bluegum are a wonderful feature, continued throughout the home.
The living space flows to the walled courtyard – an expansive and private paved area surrounded by plantings and sheltered by a giant shadecloth. Inside, the living space flows to the dining area and the kitchen. Bright, white and renovated, it features a big breakfast bar, glass splashbacks, 6-burner gas cooktop and lots of clever fitted cabinetry. It’s an airy space with great cross ventilation to welcome the cooling Freo doctor.

On the southern side, two lovely rooms offer all the options: office, consulting room, second living area or bedroom. Each has exterior access; one opening to the courtyard, and one opening to the rear of the home. There, a long covered area is surrounded by more plantings, with raised veggie beds and handy side gate to Pitts Lane. On the other side of the home is the laundry, bathroom, powder room and three bedrooms, each with built-in robes. Beyond the double carport is a gated hardstand for boat or caravan, as well as a shed/workshop.

Combining practical functionality with a sense of beauty and calm, this peaceful home and gardens is a real find, and a fine way to join the Valley community.
