55 Lakeside Road, Churchlands WA 6018

A Grand Lakeside Opportunity!

It's only once in a lifetime that an established property on a massive land holding like this one presents itself - a grand 6 bedroom 4 bathroom two-storey family haven on an enormous corner site that spans three different street frontages, inclusive of the lush Maurice Hamer Park that borders the picturesque Herdsman Lake and stunning Floreat Waters across the road. The water and city views you get to experience from various angles are to die for.

Sprawling lawns and gardens add a sense of prestige to this unique residence, with a splendid lake and city-skyline vista prevalent from the front courtyard and before you even step foot inside. Gorgeous double French doors reveal a huge carpeted family/theatre room with feature coffered ceilings, overlooking the lake. The casual-meals area and kitchen are delightfully tiled, framed by exquisite French windows and two sets of double French doors that open out to one of the biggest backyards you will ever come across - complete with low-maintenance artificial turf (ideal for either a cricket pitch or bowling green), a stainless-steel servery, a rear verandah with an awning to extend your entertaining options, a separate alfresco-style gazebo.

Whether it's two families living under the same roof or one large on looking to secure their future, the private outdoor spa and swimming pool are sure to be utilised to their full potential this upcoming summer. Back inside, the stylish kitchen itself is dominated by sparkling granite bench tops and boasts three sinks, a gas cooktop, Bosch ovens, a Euromaid dishwasher, quality tap fittings and additional stainless-steel benches and splashbacks.

Also carpeted for comfort is a huge formal lounge (with a character ceiling rose, double French doors opening out to the yard and views to the lake, pool and spa) and an adjacent formal dining room - both reserved for those special occasions. Nearby are a study nook with a built-in desk behind folding doors, a carpeted sixth or "guest" bedroom next door to the powder room, a versatile arts-and-crafts - or music - room with a lake aspect and possibility to convert into a seventh bedroom and a spectacular under-stair cellar - or "man cave" - with power points, a safe and more. A fully-tiled "fourth" bathroom with a shower toilet and vanity, as well as a massive laundry complete the lower-level layout.

Upstairs, the carpeted games room is another massive space and doubles as another excellent option for another bedroom or retreat. High angled ceilings meet split-system air-conditioning, a leafy aspect and more lake views - both from the double-French-door balcony and within. A carpeted library-come-home office is also epic in its proportions, has a storeroom, comprises of a hidden kitchenette with plenty of extra storage and surprise, surprise - looks out on to the lake.

The obvious pick of the main upper-level sleeping quarters is a giant master retreat with soaring high cathedral-style angled ceilings, its own gym beyond folding doors, a walk-in dressing room with endless built-in wardrobes and storage and a fully-tiled ensuite bathroom - corner spa with a showerhead, a walk-in shower, separate fully-tiled toilet, twin granite vanities, lake views and all. Double French doors - off both the bedroom and ensuite - open out to a huge front "sunrise" balcony that also captures a mesmerising lake and city panorama in its finest form.

An electric driveway gate secures parking for two extra vehicles, separate from a double carport (with a storeroom) and additional storage within the remote-controlled double lock-up garage. The latter also enjoying a handy internal shopper's entry door for good measure.

This palatial home is nestled within the sought-after catchment zones for both Churchlands Primary School and Churchlands Senior High School. Other top educational facilities - including Hale School and Newman College - can also be found nearby, with public transport, shopping, Wembley Golf Course, fresh food at The Herdsman, cafes and restaurants in neighbouring Wembley, community sporting facilities, the freeway, the city and beautiful beaches all only minutes away and so easily accessible. Now this is what you call "one of a kind"!
