A large, family home, that is all on one level and on a massive block in Applecross, deserves your attention. The current owners are downsizing and releasing this amazing opportunity to live just one street away from the river and with all the space you will ever need. As you approach down the long, private driveway, you will be struck at how quiet it is in the middle of such a busy community.
Step through the double front doors and the glorious loungeroom opens up to the right. With 3m plus vaulted ceiling and beautiful wooden floors, it has been a feature for entertaining, hosting kids' birthdays, right up to 18th parties where it provided the perfect dancefloor! It is flooded with light from the French doors and corner windows.
The home lends itself to multi-generational living, with the fifth bedroom situated at the front of the home, with its own ensuite and additional entrance through the garage.
The well-equipped and modernised kitchen looks over the snug family room, complete with gas fireplace and window seat, and the meals and open plan dining room.
It is perfectly placed to perform its role as the central hub of this home. Picture cooking dinner and still being with the family, with a view out to the pool. The floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass doors bring the outside in and provide a great flow, making a large space feel even bigger.
The 5.6 x 5.1m master bedroom has a walk-in robe and dressing area. The ensuite with freestanding egg bath, double sink, frameless shower, and natural light from the large windows that frame the ferns outside, will have you thinking you're in a tropical resort. What a way to bookend every day!
At the rear of the home is the second and third bedrooms, both with direct access to the garden, plus the office/fifth bedroom, family bathroom and laundry. The home features mature landscaped gardens, with fruit trees that deliver creamy avocados, oranges, mandarins, plums and figs.
The large gardens around the house have provided great hiding places for hide and seek for little ones and then a cricket pitch later. A bouncy castle has been easily accommodated for kids' parties and there is lots of shade for playing safely out of the sun. Importantly, the pool area receives sun for most of the day.

Such a great location for families must also be considered. The home is situated on Jacaranda-lined Matheson Road at the Riseley St/Canning Hwy shopping precinct end. The current owners recommend Scutti's for the best fruit and vegetables and delicious Italian groceries, which is just a few hundred metres away. Shops, bars, restaurants, cafes and medical services are all within a 10-minute walk. Heathcote Reserve with its amazing pirate ship playground, cafe and weekend market, is just a five-minute drive away.
Endless hours of family fun will be had at the river which is just a four-minute walk away, as well as the perfect setting for long walks. There are two bus stops close by; one goes to Canning Bridge for the train, plus the City or Fremantle, the other for Wesley and Penrhos Colleges. Applecross Primary School and Applecross Senior High School are both close enough to walk or bike ride to.
