8 BENNETT STREET, Lake Grace WA 6353

This classically built 1979 brick and tile property has a secret. Behind the solid external features is a beautiful modern renovation. The current owners have put their heart and soul into the new interior, with the plan for it to be their long term home. Circumstances have changed, and now you have a unique opportunity to purchase what feels like a "brand new home".

The renovation has opened up the lounge/dining/living space with the clever removal of some internal walls. The result is a space that is light and bright with an open plan feel.

The new lounge room is large, and spacious enough to support a large platform television. Whilst the dining area accommodates an 8 seat table with room to move. The whole house is heated and cooled by a brand new 7.4kw reverse cycle air conditioner.

But WOW.....that Kitchen!!!! In a nod to the European heritage of the current owners, the new spacious, well appointed kitchen will have the chef in your family simply itching to explore its many features. From the "hidden" dishwasher, stylish pendant lights over the breakfast bar, to the large fridge space, and cupboards for miles, you will be impressed with what has been installed in this space.

Once you get over the "wow" factor of the kitchen/dining/living room you are drawn down the passage to the new galley laundry. Again this is a full renovation, with room for two front load washers or front load washer and dryer. There is even space for the 2nd fridge! The floor has been tiled, and the whole space has that modern feel.

Just when you thought it could not get any better you eye is drawn further down the hallway to the all new bathroom. The large platform tiles, the conservative colour palate, and the clever use of space make this room a real winner. From the suspended cabinetry, to the beautiful simplistic face storage cabinet, the sheer line glass shower screen, to the well thought out placement of tap ware for the rain drop shower head, there is a lot to like about this space including the new second toilet. Did we mention that the separate toilet has had the same makeover as the bathroom, and is as stylish in its own right? Well it has and as toilets go, you will like this one.

Lets talk bedrooms. You could call this a four bedroom home or it could be a three bedroom with dedicated office/craft/music room. It all depends on your needs. The floor plan to the property reveals that bedrooms 2,3 and 4 are good size at around 9 square meters whilst the master bedroom comes in at a tick under 15m2. The master has a built in 4 door closet whilst the other rooms could have free standing cabinetry added, or they are large enough for built in storage. The choice is yours.

Outside at the front of the house under the main roof, adjacent to the front door is a casual seating area ready for you to enjoy your morning coffee in the winter sun. The single carport is also located under the main roof and has a solid wall to the eastern side.

At the rear of the home leading from the garage and wrapping around the kitchen to the laundry is the rear verandah that is 2.4 meters wide and is a concrete floor and steel construction.

This home was formally owned by the Bunbury Dioceses of the Anglican Church prior to the current owners, and the property was rented extensively during that time. The gardens, especially at the rear of the property is a blank canvas. There is a 3m2 garden shed used to store materials during the renovation and this is included with the property.

The overhead photographs show the potential at the rear of the block. The land parcel is 1060m2, whilst the area to the South of the house verandah measures 615m2 or just under 60% of the land area.

Possibilities include the addition of garaging or shed space to the rear of the property as there is real lane access, maybe the addition of an underground pool and landscaping, or perhaps a permaculture/food production sanctuary. The land is currently zoned R20 and the current owners are in the process of negotiating the renewal of the east and west fences of the property. The completion of that work is included in the purchase price.

Lets talk location. Central, Central, Central.
