Backing on to spectacular walking trails of the majestic “Class A” Star Swamp Bushland Reserve whilst nestled just a five-minute stroll away from some of Perth’s best and safest swimming beaches, this deceptively-spacious, rustic and earthy 3 bedroom 2 bathroom residence is actually three storeys high and is as quirky as they come, offering a multitude of living and entertainment options with a relaxing coastal vibe.

All of the property’s gorgeous teak doors and fence panels are hand-crafted imports from Indonesia, including the double doors that open out to the bush from your own private sunken backyard sanctuary, as well as the ones that secure the charming front entry courtyard. The latter extends, via bi-fold doors, into a large front lounge room that can easily be converted into a very comfortable fourth bedroom if need be. There is also a sitting area under the staircase that could become a potential fifth bedroom with access out to a side atrium deck where a hot and cold-water outdoor shower is the perfect way to wash off after a day at the beach.

A generous central second living area also flows on to the deck, whilst the huge main open-plan family, dining and kitchen space is where most of your casual time will be spent. There, integrated stone feature walls, quality Corian bench tops, tiled splashbacks, a walk-in pantry, stylish pendant light fittings, a stainless-steel range hood and a five-burner Ilve gas cooktop/oven meet seamless access to an enclosed indoor-outdoor alfresco with its own in-built spa, a ceiling fan and feature white plantation shutters/sliders that link it to the yard.

Servicing the two downstairs bedrooms is a fully-tiled modern bathroom with a large shower and storage options. The entire upper level is very much a “parents’ retreat” with its own kitchenette, separate toilet, walk-in dresser and hotel-style ensuite bathroom with a generous shower, a bubbling spa bath and twin “his and hers” vanities. Also at the top of the winding staircase lies an extensive master bedroom with heaps of room to move, high angled ceilings, split-system air-conditioning, a ceiling fan and a breathtaking aspect over the Star Swamp trees and birdlife from the fabulous back balcony.

Conveniently located only five minutes from the freeway, 20 minutes from the CBD in total and close to bus stops, the vibrant Flora Terrace food and coffee strip, some of the best private and public schools in the state, lush parklands, shopping, golf courses, the Marmion Angling and Aquatic Club and Hillarys Boat Harbour, this hidden gem has “living convenience” written all over it. There really is nothing else quite like it in Watermans Bay!
