4/37 Joyce Street, Scarborough WA 6019

What we love
Is just how close new-look Scarborough Beach and its bustling esplanade is from the enviable position of this impressively-renovated 2 bedroom 1 bathroom villa that is privately nestled to the rear of a beautifully-presented complex of just eight residences. Walk to the surf, sand, bars, cafes and restaurants of Perth’s hottest summer hangout, as well as the ever-popular Scarborough Beach Pool. The local coffee shop and delicatessen is only metres away on the corner, with bus stops, the sprawling Abbett Park playing fields and community sporting facilities, top schools and the newly-redeveloped Karrinyup Shopping Centre all either seconds or minutes away in their own right.

A surprisingly-spacious backyard is the defining feature of this stylish lock-up-and-leave-type home, with a fantastic pitched rear patio encouraging tranquil outdoor entertaining whilst overlooking a large lawn area, a sunken firepit area, a garden shed, chicken coop, leafy gardens – including a stunning Bougainvillea – and a selection of exotic lemon, orange and olive trees. The sensual sea breezes that dominate the exterior will filter inside too, cooling down an open-plan living and dining area that not only welcomes you, but precedes a tiled kitchen with a free-standing Bosch Induction cooktop/oven combination and a breakfast bar for quick and casual meals. As far as parking goes, your own single carport sits adjacent to a bonus resident or visitor parking area with some extra bays. But let’s face it, most of your travel around this part of the coast will be by foot.

What to know
Beyond a security-door entrance into the villa, you will find split-system air-conditioning in the living room, as well as low-maintenance timber-look flooring to this part of the layout, as well as both bedrooms. The larger master plays host to generous built-in wardrobes. The fully-tiled and revamped bathroom comprises of a walk-in rain shower with a second showerhead, plus a sleek stone vanity for good measure.

The laundry off the kitchen has also been modernised to include a stainless-steel Bosch dishwasher and tiled splashbacks. Extras include patio and yard access from the laundry, recycled brick paving to both the alfresco and an extension of the entertaining courtyard, a separate toilet, a linen press, feature ceiling cornices, feature LED down lights, security screens, an electric hot-water system, outdoor power points and a side-access gate to the backyard, from the carpark area. Down-size without compromise and make this coastal gem all yours.
