What we love
Is the stunning high position of this cleverly-renovated and architecturally-designed 6 bedroom 4 bathroom two-storey family haven which takes advantage of differing vistas – including the ocean, Rottnest Island, surrounding tree-lined parklands and the Wembley Downs valley – and offers spacious multi-generational family living and entertaining for all involved. Nestled within a family-friendly and community-minded street that is quiet and captures those sensual sea breezes throughout summer, this unique home even boasts a dream outdoor setting, inclusive of a shimmering below-ground solar-heated, salt-water concrete swimming pool, a poolside courtyard and a fabulous timber-lined alfresco-entertaining area. There are also two separate main entry doors – one to each floor, as well as internal shopper’s access via a remote-controlled double lock-up garage.
The property even boasts gated access into its rear yard via the Karla Place cul-de-sac (ideal for parking a boat, caravan or trailer securely) and backs on to a path leading to the sprawling Ocean Village Park that leads down to the beach past two different playgrounds. There is also a lovely oval with a football goal, a tennis wall and basketball hoop, while the kids can get down to the parkland without crossing any roads at all. A five-minute stroll to the Ocean Village shopping precinct and the Peasholm Dog Beach, a close proximity to top schools in Hale, St. Mary’s, Churchlands and International School of Western Australia (ISWA), an easy walk to the school bus service and a very handy radius to the City Beach cafes and restaurants, more shopping at Empire Village and the revamped Scarborough beachfront. What more could you want in terms of location?!
What to know
Upstairs, there is quality travertine flooring to the entrance, as well as an open-plan (renovated) kitchen and casual-meals area that is dominated by sparkling stone bench tops and excellent European appliances – including a brand-new integrated Miele dishwasher. A tree-lined vista from the east-facing back balcony off here is quite simply an added bonus. Down below, a huge sunken open-plan family and dining space features a gas bayonet, a gas log fireplace and access out on to a generous wraparound balcony with drop-down blinds for protection from the elements and all-encompassing coastal views, including magical evening sunsets and warning signs for when those spectacular storms come in. Also on the top floor are the main sleeping quarters, where two of the bedrooms have built-in study desks, a fourth bedroom and main family bathroom can also be found and where a spacious master suite has its own balcony that looks out to our famous Rottnest Island.
Downstairs, a massive den doubles as a home office with its own separate entrance for clients and businesses, whilst a separate sunken lounge room opens out to the pool and alfresco through double and bi-fold doors respectively. Extras include two more bathrooms on the ground floor (one ideal for pool use), two large lower-level bedrooms with walk-in robes (one of which opens out to the garden through French doors), a stylish laundry with a fold-out ironing board and clothing chute, split-system air-conditioning throughout, floor-to-ceiling bathroom tiling, a security-alarm system, established gardens, reticulation, a backyard lemon tree, solar and instantaneous gas hot-water systems and double front-driveway gates – for security and overall peace of mind.
