Fantastic Family Living!

Nestled on a generous block that sits just one street and laneway away from the lush Birdwood Parade Reserve, the Esplanade and picturesque Swan River's edge, this spacious 5 bedroom 3 bathroom-plus study family home is both functional and practical in design and will benefit from the addition of your own modern personal touches later down the track, to enhance a desirable lifestyle in one of Perth's finest riverside suburbs.

Embrace the shade and the trees of a gated north-facing front yard that both the kids and pets will absolutely love. It is splendidly overlooked by a private outdoor patio-entertaining area, with a side pathway also revealing access to a huge, secure backyard with lawn, heaps of room for a future swimming pool, a lock-up storeroom, extra built-in external storage and a single pedestrian gate that leads out on to Sandpiper Lane at the rear.

Internally, high ceilings are commonplace throughout and make every room feel just that little bit bigger. Double doors reveal a carpeted formal-dining room with decorative cornices, a feature ceiling rose and an open fireplace - all overlooking a sunken formal lounge that is also reserved for those special occasions and boasts soaring cathedral-style high ceilings, a fan, tall windows, its own wood fireplace, custom built-in cabinetry and access out to the entry yard and alfresco.

Low-maintenance floors grace a central kitchen and meals area with a skylight, double sinks, a gas cooktop, a separate Westinghouse oven/grill, a huge range hood, a sleek white Dishlex dishwasher, a double storage pantry and access through to a commodious carpeted family room. The latter comprises of a gas bayonet, air-conditioning and a door leading out to the backyard.

In terms of the bedrooms, a massive master suite at the back of the house is also nicely air-conditioned, with access out to a paved "parent's retreat" of a courtyard in front of the rear lawn, as well as two lots of "his and hers" built-in double wardrobes and an intimate ensuite bathroom - shower, toilet, vanity and all. The front second bedroom has built-in robes and storage of its own, whilst a larger third bedroom - also at the front of the floor plan - comprises of built-in robes, a striking ceiling rose and a leafy northern aspect to wake up to.

These rooms are also serviced by a practical second bathroom with a bathtub, vanity and toilet. Upstairs, a light and bright fourth bedroom has built-in robes and its own lush outlook, whilst the separate fifth bedroom enjoys access to an elevated and carpeted study with a skylight and some extra storage. The third - or main - bathroom is also light-filled and caters for everybody's needs in the form of a shower, toilet and vanity.

Stroll to Nedlands Yacht Club, Nedlands Golf Club, Dalkeith Primary School and other excellent local sporting clubs whilst indulging in a very close proximity to bus stops, the local shopping village, the vibrant Claremont Quarter and Dalkeith shopping precincts, Christ Church Grammar School, Scotch College, Methodist Ladies' College, first-class medical facilities, the University of Western Australia, Fremantle, the Perth CBD and more. The living is easy here - very easy!
