Tastefully blending the charm and character of a 1960s cottage with modern appointments, this beautiful home is perfect for a family, with impressive indoor and outdoor living spaces and a fabulous 910sqm block. It’s also in a central locale a few minutes from schools, shops and medical facilities and a short drive from town, the beach and sports grounds. Smartly clad in Colorbond and with a tile roof, the home proudly displays its original jarrah floorboards, timber window frames and high ceilings, and rooms at the back take in a lovely outlook towards Mt Clarence and Mt Melville. At its heart is a comfortable lounge, with an open fire, air conditioning and windows on two walls to let in plenty of light. This is augmented by a terrific, spacious rear deck with pull-down shade blinds to regulate the sun and breeze, the perfect place for sundowners and barbies with family and friends. Down a few steps from the deck is an open paved patio, while at the front, another covered patio shelters the front door. Off the lounge is the open-plan kitchen and dining area. Sporting ivory cabinetry with charcoal bench-tops, the kitchen is a sizeable workspace with a dishwasher, gas cook-top and electric oven. Like the kitchen, both the bathroom and laundry have been modernised. The bathroom is complete with a bath, walk-in shower and vanity and the laundry has built-in cabinetry and a separate toilet. The main bedroom – a queen-sized room overlooking the back garden – has a built-in robe. At the front of the house are two double bedrooms and a big single, which makes an ideal office or study. Tiling, window treatments, lighting and decor are in great shape, and the home is beautifully presented. With the potential for subdivision, the block is well planned and brilliantly maintained. Mostly in grass, it has a few native trees for character, numerous raised vegetable beds, a chook run and a rainwater tank. A driveway leads past the house to a garage with a sheltered lean-to for kids’ toys and dog kennels, and the back yard is fully enclosed for pets and children to play. This lovely property is priced to sell and ready for a new family to love the lifestyle it presents.
