A modern aesthetic and family-focused layout have produced a wonderful sense of volume, and pitch-perfect finishes deliver a contemporary home with timeless appeal. Stone retaining walls and lawn terraces lead the eye to a wide front door behind the welcome of a classic Australian verandah.

Bamboo floors extend across the home’s living areas, their honeyed tones creating a pleasing sense of cohesion. A vast open-plan space runs across the rear of the plan, a wall of windows framing the multi-hued greenery of the low-maintenance backyard and blurring the distinction between indoors and out. The open living zone is spacious enough to comfortably incorporate a dedicated games room with a full-sized pool table and is used by the current owners as a playroom.

The modern, well-appointed kitchen sits at one side of the open plan with a long island and integrated breakfast bar, ample under-bench and overhead storage and a fitted, walk-in pantry. Home cooks and entertainers will delight at the 900 mm oven, 5-burner gas hob, dishwasher and easy indoor-outdoor flow to the sheltered alfresco entertaining area.

A separate media room wired for sound and a generously-proportioned study bring modern luxury to a floor plan that allows for flexibility of use. Three-phase power is available at the property, and laminated glass is installed throughout the home to provide improved energy performance, acoustics and security.

Hidden away at one corner of the layout, the principal suite feels like an indulgent sanctuary with a large bedroom featuring soft carpet underfoot, twin walk-in robes and a spacious ensuite with a rain head shower, double vanity and a separate WC. Adjoining the principal suite is a bright and spacious study; ideally positioned for uninterrupted study or work, its proximity to the main bedroom makes this a fantastic nursery.

Three generously-proportioned junior rooms open off a central hall running the length floorplan. These light-filled rooms feature soft carpet, a neutral colour palette and built-in robes; they share the family bathroom and a separate WC.

It is easy to imagine impromptu alfresco dining, memorable celebrations with family and friends and blissful lazy weekends under the shelter of the high gabled roof of the outdoor entertaining zone. Surrounded by the calming green of the lawn and stone-walled garden beds, this impressive backyard oasis offers ample space for seating, barbecuing and dining.

Sitting at one corner of the landscaped block is a large Colorbond workshop with a roller door and double gates providing access. A large level area in front of the shed offers secure, gated parking for a boat, caravan or trailer.

If you were to write a list of ‘must-haves’ in a family home, it would look like this. Space, flexibility, low-maintenance gardens, and timeless style stamp this property as a ‘forever’ home. Local schools, shops, the Heritage Trail and John Forrest National Park are all on the doorstep. The services and amenities of Midland are a short drive away, and the airport and Perth CBD are within an easy commuting distance.
