This spacious family home sits at the top of a cul-de-sac, behind a screen of gardens and a large front lawn and boasts a floorplan with the flexibility of a central living zone flanked by junior and parents’ wings and a large home office.
A broad verandah with ample space for alfresco dining leads to the front door and into the bight, light-filled lounge/dining room. A large, east-facing window offers views to the Hills, while ducted evaporative cooling and a gas bayonet provide year-round climate control.
Adjoining the lounge is a large kitchen/meals area with a spacious kitchen fitted with a freestanding oven, generous storage – including a built-in pantry – and views to the east overlooking a huge lawn area for the kids sporting events, trampoline, swings and/or cubby. A servery to the dining area is a practical feature with a touch of retro whimsy.
The junior wing comprises three carpeted bedrooms, including the original main bedroom. There are built-in robes and ceiling fans in two of the junior rooms. The shared family bathroom, renovated in 1998, features a vanity and over-tub shower. A separate W.C. and walk-through laundry, that includes practical bench space and lots of storage, complete the floorplan of the junior wing.
A bright alcove signifies the transition from communal living zones to the seclusion of the parents’ wing. A spacious study leading to the principal bedroom could be styled as an indulgent parents’ retreat or a nursery for a young child. The main bedroom features a walk-in robe and ensuite; a sliding door provides private access as it opens onto the front verandah to offer the perfect spot for a private breakfast for two. This bedroom extension enhances the privacy of the front yard and outdoor entertaining by transforming the home’s footprint into an L-shaped.
A double garage and parking bays at the front of the property offer ample space for cars. The large lot boasts side access for vehicles and room for the construction of a workshop or, for those looking for multi-generational living, auxiliary accommodation.
A mere 500 m from the local shopping centre and within walking distance of the sporting fields of Brown Park, this generous family home is within easy reach of a choice of schools, the Midland CBD and the walking trails of John Forrest National Park.
