Flanked in plumes of agaves & succulents, this lovingly restored double-brick home - nestled securely behind custom wrought-iron gates - is indeed the epitome of a serene urban sanctuary.
Featuring rare attributes for homes found in the sought-after ‘Valley’ precinct, this property not only includes a front & rear garden, but two independent powered studio cabins and bespoke retro cabinetry in the kitchen.
The rear, north-facing courtyard-garden – anchored by a central water fountain and lush tropical surrounds - evokes a sense of Zen and meditation, while indoors, a palette of warm whites, jarrah floors & quality workmanship create chic luxury and casual comfort.
Sharing tranquil garden views from the front, a spacious master bedroom, with generous mirror-inlaid robes, sits opposite a sunny living area - both with convenient access to a newly refurbished bathroom (+ tub) and powder room – also fitted with highest quality furnishings and spa-like aesthetics.
The remaining three bedrooms (with mirrored built-ins) continue to a charming kitchen & dining zone where the allure of the courtyard garden can truly be appreciated.
Double glass doors invite the eye to a vast, protected patio designed for seasonal comfort, leisurely drinks or daily yoga practice, while two independent powered studios - both recipients of the soothing acoustics of gentle water flow - are snugly tucked into the garden’s periphery.
Industrial-style pendant lights, slate floors, a suspended bespoke opaque-glass storage cabinet and an Omega 5-burner gas stove/oven complete the appeal of the kitchen, while a surprisingly generous laundry, also kitted-out in quality fittings, complete this practical rear living area.
Other features include adequate parking for up to 5 vehicles or a boat/caravan (secure gated and off-street), ducted evaporative air-conditioning, three-phase power, 5.5kW solar panels, periphery CCTV security & video intercom/doorbell at front gate, TV mounts in bedroom, patio & kitchen, CrimSafe windows, garden shed and water-efficient gardens throughout. This is a home that accommodates almost every stage of life – couples, young families, and retired or elderly downsizers who seek secure, lock-and-leave attributes within an endearing, family-friendly community.
The current owners have adored every aspect of the lifestyle afforded by The Valley…walk to White Gum Valley Primary School, enjoy access to multiple parks, cafes and open spaces, become acquainted with the White Gum Valley Community Orchard & Community Pantry, or walk a short distance to the Freo Farmer’s Market and quality grocers.
