9 Watt Street, Swanbourne WA 6010

North facing Delight

Nestled on a spacious full-size block in the leafiest of locales, this gorgeous 3 bedroom 2 bathroom family home - with a versatile lounge room, home office or fourth-bedroom option - is the perfect place to enjoy comfortable contemporary living and will even benefit from future second-storey views to Melon Hill, across the majestic Allen Park Heritage Precinct bushland.

In fact, the sprawling Allen Park fields and community sporting facilities (including the Allen Park Tennis Club) can be found at the end of the street, with The Shorehouse and beautiful Swanbourne Beach also only walking distance away themselves. Walk to bus stops from here too, with other coastal cafes and restaurants, top schools (including Scotch College), shopping at Claremont Quarter, Swanbourne Train Station and even glorious Cottesloe Beach, all nearby and very much within arm's reach.

The residence splendidly faces north at the rear, where you will find a huge wraparound alfresco-entertaining deck with cathedral-style high ceilings, a fan and a gas bayonet for outdoor summer barbecues, a paved courtyard surrounded by established trees and a private backyard area where the kids and pets can run around and play in unison.

Inside, more soaring high ceilings and solid wooden Jarrah floorboards help preserve the property's original character of yesteryear, beyond a delightful timber-lined entry verandah. Double French doors reveal the huge front lounge room - complete with a feature log fireplace, a fan, ceiling rose and attractive white plantation window shutters.

A giant front master suite is the pick of the bedrooms with its own fan, white plantation shutters looking out to a pleasant garden aspect, ample storage options in the form of wall-to-wall built-in wardrobes and a light and bright ensuite bathroom - large walk-in shower, toilet, twin "his and hers" stone vanities and all.

A commodious second bedroom sits behind its own French door and plays host to a fan, built-in double robes and white plantation shutters, to keep with theme. The massive carpeted third bedroom is elevated on its own and has a ceiling fan, plantation shutters, built-in robes and shelving, split-system air-conditioning and views out to the yard and the surrounding treetops, giving you a small indication of what you can expect in the near future. There is also access to an under-house wine cellar, next to here.

Double French doors separate the front of the floor plan from the back, where a main family bathroom comprises of a skylight, sleek stone vanity and an over-sized shower. The laundry has its own French door, tiled splashbacks, under-bench storage, internal hanging space, external access and drop-down-ladder access up to a very handy attic in the roof.

However, most of your casual time will be spent enjoying the spaciousness of a huge sunken open-plan family, dining and kitchen-area extension where more cathedral-style ceilings, two fans, integrated audio speakers, timber shelving, split-system air-conditioning, a breakfast bar and a computer nook (or drop-zone) meet sparkling stone bench tops, soft-closing drawers, a stainless-steel range hood, a five-burner Ilve gas cooktop, a St George oven and a stainless-steel Bosch dishwasher for good measure.

Out front, there is ample driveway parking space for your boat, caravan or trailer, as well as everybody's cars. A remote-controlled single lock-up garage enjoys drive-through/roller-door access to the rear, as well.

There is so much to love about living here, that's for sure. With summer just around the corner, basing yourself this close to the glorious surf and sand is an absolute no-brainer!
