45A Milne Street, Bicton WA 6157

Light-filled living among the trees

Walk down the hill to the river or across to Point Walter parkland, and come home to peaceful seclusion, where all you can hear are the birds and the breeze in the trees. This contemporary brick and tile home, designed in traditional Bicton style, is in a quiet rear position with two spacious living areas, lots of light, and indoor-outdoor flow to lovely easy-care gardens. It’s an ideal opportunity to enjoy the delights of this prestigious riverside precinct, with the freedom of a low-maintenance home that is simple to lock up and leave.

The bamboo-floored entry leads to a carpeted north-facing room complete with study nook. It’s a flexible space for a tv room, music room, separate lounge, or even a large office for working from home, if that’s what you need. Beyond is the unusually large, air-conditioned open plan living area, with plenty of space for living and dining, and with light streaming in from windows all around. Floors are bamboo, and the smart white kitchen features a wide island bench, engineered stone tops, walk-in pantry, and quality stainless steel appliances. There’s also direct entry to the kitchen from the double carport for bringing in the shopping, and additional paved parking is handy for a trailer, or a tinnie to enjoy the river down the road.

Step out from the open plan living area to the serene high-walled gardens wrapping around the side and the rear: lawn, travertine paving for outdoor dining, and all completely private, lined with tall shady trees. Another courtyard garden at the front of the home offers a leafy northern outlook from the air-conditioned master suite, which features a walk-in robe and a cool contemporary ensuite with floating vanity. Three more bedrooms are separate from the master suite, with the family bathroom nearby.

It's all perfectly practical and easy, with a lovely atmosphere of quiet seclusion, and the wonderful advantages of this location with the river, bushland reserve, parks and the golf course all a walk away.
