This unique two-storey home exudes original Margaret River charm and character, packed with incredible features. Set on a generous 1012m² block, it offers six spacious bedrooms and five truly stunning bathrooms making it an ideal large family home or potential BnB. The fully self-contained downstairs area boasts three large bedrooms, including a beautiful primary suite with its own sitting area and ensuite. The second bedroom features a newly renovated ensuite, while the third has access to a newly renovated common bathroom. The north-facing lounge is bathed in winter sunlight, with large windows that open onto an expansive undercover decked area, complete with a raised jarrah decked pathway leading to a secluded sitting nook amidst the trees. At the rear of the house, the outdoor space continues with a fully enclosable outdoor kitchen on jarrah decking, featuring a perfectly positioned pizza oven.
Upstairs, the home opens into a large, airy, open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Two additional bedrooms are found here, including a second primary suite with a luxurious claw-foot bath in the exquisite ensuite, which leads to a private decked balcony nestled among the trees. The second bedroom also opens onto a back decked balcony, with views of the lush backyard and surrounding forest. A separate third bedroom is perfect for BnB with a gorgeous ensuite, lovely views and access from the balcony.
The tiered, lawned backyard includes raised vegetable beds, a chook pen, large shed, woodshed, and a spacious upper terrace housing a caravan with its own rear lane access. The property backs onto a native reserve, and neighbours have added extra stand-alone residences in their rear areas which is a possibility for this property as well.
The back lane leads to the renowned Brewhouse, just a short walk away, and continues into town past Rotary Park, following a scenic 2.5km river walk where you can stop for a cappuccino at The Hairy Marron. The walk to town takes less than 10mins, with a 1mins drive offering even quicker access. Additionally, the famous Ginversity is a short stroll across the road.
The home is equipped with a central wood fire positioned by the stairwell, heating both levels, alongside a large R/C A/C for convenience. The upper front balcony and lower back outdoor kitchen area feature professionally installed lockable blinds for added security. The property also includes a 30,000L rainwater tank, a 6kW solar system with solar hot water, and parking for 8+ cars, both in front and back.
Plans had been considered to demolish the existing shed and build a self-contained granny flat with two bedrooms on a mezzanine level, offering uninterrupted forest views. Currently, the owners live upstairs while renting individual rooms in the downstairs area, which are highly sought after and have been rented for $250-$300/week.

Margaret River overview
The townsite of Margaret River is located in the south west agricultural area, 277 kilometres south southwest of Perth and 48 kilometres south southwest of Busselton. It is located on the Margaret River from which it derives its name. The precise origin of the naming of the river is not known, but it was possibly named by John Bussell in honour of Margaret Wyche, a friend in England who was expected to follow the Bussell's to Australia. The name is first shown on a map of the region published in 1839.
In 1910 the Margaret River Progress Association wrote to the Minister for Lands requesting a townsite be declared at "the Upper Margaret Bridge". The reason given was that "the district is likely to be dotted with public buildings several miles apart in the near future if a townsite is not made available shortly". The District Surveyor who inspected the area preferred an area near the lower bridge on Caves Road, but this land was not available. Lots were surveyed in 1912, and the Townsite of Margaret River gazetted in 1913. In 1918 the name of the townsite was changed to "Margaret", but it was changed back to Margaret River in 1927, due to local usage of the name always being Margaret River.
