The Best of Both Worlds!
Neighbouring the lush greenery of Bath Street Reserve that backs onto our picturesque Swan River, this solid 5 bedroom 3 bathroom two-storey brick-and-tile family home is as charming as they come and benefits from arguably Maylands' finest position.
Double front gates secure ample driveway parking on a massive block that has its own private gate to access the park and river with at the rear. A shimmering solar-heated swimming pool headlines a tranquil backyard setting, along with a shade-sail outdoor-entertaining area with views out to the river.
Inside, a huge carpeted formal lounge room has a bar with granite and wood finishes and is splendidly overlooked by a large formal dining room - also carpeted for comfort and boasting gorgeous double French doors that link it to a beautifully-tiled kitchen. The latter forms part of an expansive open-plan family and meals area with soaring high raked ceilings and plays host to character timber cabinetry, sparkling granite bench tops and splashbacks, a fold-out ironing board, double sinks, a water-filter tap, heaps of storage options, a floating island/breakfast bar, huge drawers, a range hood, integrated dishwasher, a Brandt Induction cooktop and a new Bosch oven for good measure. As well as accessing the poolside entertaining area, this part of the floor plan also extends out to a delightful side verandah for sitting and quiet contemplation.
Folding doors off the family room reveal a sunken and carpeted theatre room that is itself generous in its proportions and comprises of endless built-in wooden storage, pool access, spectacular hill and river views, plenty of natural morning sunlight filtering in and access into a hidden laundry with a double linen press and a sliding door leading outside. The fifth or "guest" bedroom suite next door features separate "his and hers" built-in wardrobes, pool access, carpet and entry into a fully-tiled ensuite/third bathroom off the laundry - shower, toilet, vanity and all.
Also downstairs are a fully-tiled powder room off the tiled entry foyer, a separate home office - or study - and a huge carpeted master suite with double doors, a walk-in robe, external side access and a fully-tiled ensuite, comprising of a bubbling corner spa, a shower, vanity and toilet. Upstairs, there are three further bedrooms - all with built-in robes - and a fully-tiled main family bathroom with a shower, separate bathtub and twin vanities to reduce traffic at family peak-hour.
This stunning location also lies only footsteps away from the sprawling de Lacy Reserve and so close to bus stops, Maylands Peninsula Public Primary School, the Maylands Peninsula Public Golf Course, shopping, medical facilities, the Maylands and Mount Lawley Train Stations, Ascot Racecourse, the vibrant Whatley Crescent food and coffee strip, Perth Airport and so much more. What a spot!

Maylands is a riverside inner-city suburb approximately 4.5 kilometres northeast of Perth, serviced by the Midland railway line on the northern bank of the Swan River. In 1896 the name "Maylands" was first used to identify the area, appearing on a poster advertising a land auction. However the exact reason how the area got its name is something of a mystery.
The suburb was once a source of clay for brick and tile making at Maylands Brickworks, and the pits from these activities are now part of a golf course and residential area. It was home to Perth's main airport until the early 1960s, and the facilities were converted to a training area for the Western Australian Police Service.
Maylands is known as a cultural and creative hub as it is home to The West Australian Ballet Centre and home to the WA Youth Jazz Orchestra. In recent years, new bars, cafés and restaurants, along with gourmet food and retail outlets have all contributed to an ongoing transformation of the town centre into a lively, diverse and inclusive destination. There are numerous shopping centres in the area, 15 parks and reserves and two primary schools.
