You wouldn’t expect to find a little haven so close to the Canning Highway, but this sweet villa is a surprising escape. Sitting back from the road in a group of six in total, this free standing home has plenty to offer in security, space and comfort.
Perfect for downsizers wanting to get out of a large home, leave behind maintenance free up some cash but stay in the area, or for couple just starting out. Even singles with kids will fit in this space and the garden is large enough and private enough to enjoy all year round.
This home could be your sweet sanctuary. The front of the villa includes the entry into a cosy lounge. This could be a more formal place to sit, watch TV or even act as a parent's retreat as the primary bedroom is just across the way. These two rooms face east so you get the lovely morning sun on awakening. The bedroom is spacious and includes a walk in robe and ensuite.
The home then opens up into this spacious, airy, central living zone with pitched ceilings. The height in here really gives the room character and incorporates the kitchen, dining and family living zone. The kitchen is in excellent condition but could be a spectacular feature with a bit of an update. However, if you just want to move in you'll have no problems enjoying it as it is, especially with the ever popular 1990's style pantry offering plenty of additional storage space. The kitchen has a shopper's door through to the carport for ease of use and this will be the main entry for the family all year round.
This open area overlooks the gorgeous north facing garden. This pretty garden is a real sanctuary. A peaceful, relaxing space that is sheltered from the rain under the patio, sheltered from the wind and sun, north facing but full of light trees to provide shade on the hottest days and a small patch of artificial turf, great for low maintenance and for the kids and dogs to roll around on. Its big enough for family BBQs, entertaining friends and small enough to feel like a small private spot to enjoy by yourself, especially with a coffee in the morning or a wine at dusk.
To the rear of the home you have the other two bedrooms, and even the smaller of the two fits a double bed. Both have built in robes and good natural light. The main bathroom includes separate shower and a bath and the second toilet is in the laundry.
There is really good access right around the villa, and good space from all the neighbours. There is air to breathe right around the home and its all neat, tidy and very pretty. The double carport is easy to access and includes a small locked storeroom. There is a visitor bay next to the carport and next to the villa on the other side as well. This allows you to keep your bins out of the garden and the carport but in easy access to the kitchen.
The location Is so central. Its only 11km to Perth City and just 6kms to Fremantle by car. You can be out and about in minutes. You're very close to Bicton Baths, Point Walter and Tompkins Park, and even Wireless Hill. These locations offer long walks, nature trails, swimming, bike paths along the foreshore, picnic spots and kids playgrounds all in a very easy distance. There are good bus routes in both directions, to the City and to Fremantle. Nearby, in walking distance, is a well serviced shopping complex, with a Coles and Dan Murphy's, Melville Leisure Fit and Melville Reserve and you’re in the Melville Senior High School zone.
This villa has everything you need for a comfy downsizer, a spacious starter, for singles, couples and even families. The complex is self managed and has no strata fees with owner occupiers. It is easy living at its finest and would be a great little lock and leave for those looking forward to a bit of travel. So come and see if this sweet, secure home could be your new sanctuary!

Melville is a small suburb 11 kilometres south of Perth City. Its two square kilometre land area is bound to the north by Canning Highway and Leach Highway in the south. Melville's most substantial development took place in the 1950s.
Though very close to many commercial sectors just outside of its boundaries, Melville is largely removed from urbanisation. Home to a number of parks and reserves, the suburb provides locals with numerous native public spaces to explore and enjoy. There are also two local schools, Melville Primary School and Melville Senior High School, and a recreation centre.
