Set at the top of an elevated cul-de-sac in the ever-popular Forest Lakes area of Thornlie, this classic brick and tile home will capture your heart. It is not every day that you find such a perfect package. A quiet street, an inviting home with great street appeal, a large allotment and easy access to amenities all add up to an intelligent purchase.
Built in 1984, this classic 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom house is a pleasure to inspect. It offers the best of both worlds, retaining a touch of its mid-century character, while modern updates have been made to the kitchen and bathroom. Beautifully positioned on the high side of the street, the driveway slopes gently upwards to the double carport, which provides covered access to the front door. Upon entry, a carpeted formal lounge lies to the left and the formal dining (currently office space) flows on from there. Even through the layout of this part of the home is traditional, with sliding doors to separate spaces, it feels wonderfully light and open due to the full-length feature windows. Another great original fixture is the open fireplace, just the thing for evenings in the cooler months.
The updated kitchen offers everything you require. There is both overhead and under-bench storage, a practical double sink and adequate counter space. The built-in oven is quality Westinghouse brand. Also on offer is a 600mm gas cooktop, rangehood and microwave alcove to complete your cooking needs. There is sufficient space on the opposite side of the kitchen for a large refrigerator and the double-door pantry is a bonus too. The linking casual dining and living area combination is open plan and has a great inside/outside feel, with a large window to the courtyard garden to one side and glass sliding doors to the alfresco on the other.
The rest of the home offers a large master bedroom with full-length windows, a built-in robe, ceiling fan and reverse cycle air conditioning. The second bedroom has plenty of space for a queen-sized bed and also offers a built-in robe. At the end of the hallway, lies the final bedroom. It currently features a large storage cupboard (which will be included in the sale of house) or it would be perfect as a children's bedroom. The bathroom is fresh and classic in style. It includes a shower recess, toilet, his and hers handbasins and a large vanity with plenty of storage space. Next door is the laundry and an extra separate toilet.
Outside is a paved and covered alfresco area with an easterly aspect – the perfect place for a coffee on a sunny winter morning. A few steps down from here is an amazing resort-style pool, which will really make you catch your breath. With a little bit of imagination, the rest of the backyard would come up beautifully as an outdoor living and entertainment hub. At the moment, a large garden shed and a barbecue space is on offer. This sizeable allotment has good elevation and views to the hills, so even though its location is secluded and private, you will not feel hemmed-in one little bit.
