47 Summerhayes Drive, Karrinyup WA 6018

What we love
Boasting a striking architectural elevation that will capture your imagination upon first glance, this renovated and impressive 4 bedroom 2 bathroom split-level residence sits directly opposite the leafy Lake Karrinyup Country Club’s golf course and its sprawling treetop surrounds, whilst offering quality family living amidst style and sophistication, combined with eclectic modern character that is synonymous of the state’s beautiful south-west. Lush green front lawns and established gardens complement a lovely decked entry walkway that leads you inside the house, where gleaming wooden floorboards greet you – as does a huge elevated formal front lounge room with a gas bayonet, storage cupboard, a skylight, louvers for cross-flow ventilation and double-door access out to a delightful balcony terrace that is more like a platform from which to soak up the views of the golf course, Sandover Reserve up the road, and magical sunrises.

The lounge also overlooks a sunken open-plan family, dining and revamped-kitchen area, where most of your casual time will be spent before spilling outdoors to a massive full-width rear entertaining alfresco with two ceiling fans, a built-in Beef Eater gas-bottle barbecue and a picturesque backdrop that is provided by a below-ground salt-water swimming pool with a salt-chlorinator. The wildcard in the floor plan is the converted games room/large office downstairs, accessible via doors from the double carport – as well as a staircase from the family room. Playing host to split-system air-conditioning and a large under-stair storeroom this versatile room could also be utilised as theatre-room, teenager’s retreat, gym, or hobby room. Only walking distance separates this exquisite property from the excellent Karrinyup Primary School, whilst the new-look Karrinyup Shopping Centre, public transport, the freeway, beaches, cafes, restaurants, Hamersley Public Golf Course, and other first-class educational facilities are only a matter of minutes away themselves. What a location!
