It's rare to see a renovation and extension that embraces the original character while creating something wonderfully fresh and totally liveable - this is it! Every detail has been considered and no expense has been spared in the reinvention of this weatherboard classic, creating an immaculate four-bedroom two-bathroom home two doors down from Kadidjiny Park.
Beyond the white picket fence, an impressive jarrah deck flows around a big shady tree among the pretty cottage gardens - creating a totally inviting outdoor entertaining space that makes the most of the northern orientation. Bespoke jarrah and glass doors invite you into the open-plan living, where a shaker-style white kitchen features a remarkable jarrah top in a single piece from an ancient tree. The large white butler's sink adds character, and the breakfast bar is in pale natural granite - an example of the use of highest quality materials that gives this home a warm and timeless atmosphere.
Look out to the city skyline from the master bedroom, where a northern picture window brings in the light. It is easy to keep this lovely space uncluttered, with a walk-in robe plus a wall of built in robes, and the white en-suite is perfect, with rainshower and natural travertine floors. There are three more bedrooms at the rear of the home and a beautiful travertine bathroom with jarrah-topped white cabinetry, freestanding bath and separate toilet. The bespoke cabinetry and travertine flooring continue in the laundry, with exterior door to the side lawn and drying court.
Excellent storage is a very practical feature of this exceptional home, with storage under the house, a loft space above the carport with pull-down access, and a large weatherboard workshop newly built in the style of the original home. The driveway is sleek and stylish exposed aggregate, the automatic gates are custom-built to blend with the traditional painted timber fencing, and the reticulated gardens are beautifully designed. With mulberry, plum, lime, mandarin, lemon and orange, they are practical as well as pretty, with cobblestone paving adding attractive natural textures.
Stroll to the park and the primary school, walk to the river, enjoy the gourmet convenience of the 24 hour grocer around the corner - and most of all, relax in the total comfort and unique atmosphere of this perfect character renovation. Be quick - this totally delightful home will not be on the market for long.

Melville is a small suburb 11 kilometres south of Perth City. Its two square kilometre land area is bound to the north by Canning Highway and Leach Highway in the south. Melville's most substantial development took place in the 1950s.
Though very close to many commercial sectors just outside of its boundaries, Melville is largely removed from urbanisation. Home to a number of parks and reserves, the suburb provides locals with numerous native public spaces to explore and enjoy. There are also two local schools, Melville Primary School and Melville Senior High School, and a recreation centre.
