There are some things you can change in a home. Colours can change. Décor can change. Kitchens and bathrooms can be updated over time. What is considerably harder to find is a four-bedroom family home with two separate living zones, a pool and 706m² of land in sought-after Padbury. And that is where 88 Macquarie Avenue gets interesting.
4 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | Lounge | Dining | Family | Meals | Kitchen | Walk-in Pantry | Laundry | Covered Outdoor Entertaining | Below-Ground Pool | Single Garage with access to rear | Large Powered Shed | Approx. 146m² Internal Living | 706m²
Built in 1978, this much-loved home has personality. It is colourful, a little quirky and certainly individual, but look beyond the cosmetic choices and there is a very practical family floorplan here, with good separation between living and sleeping areas and plenty of space both inside and out.
Step through the front door and the lounge and dining areas form the first living zone. Separate from the more casual family spaces at the rear, this gives you somewhere to retreat, entertain or simply spread out when everyone is home.
The kitchen sits centrally and is wonderfully practical, with plenty of bench and cupboard space plus a walk-in pantry. It connects easily with the adjoining meals area and family room, keeping everyday family life together while still providing that valuable second living space.
The family room opens directly outdoors, making the transition from inside to alfresco living wonderfully easy.
The main bedroom is positioned at the front of the sleeping wing and has extensive built-in robe storage. Three additional bedrooms give families plenty of flexibility for children, guests or a home office.
The family bathroom includes a bath with glass screening and vanity, with a separate WC nearby.
The laundry completes this very workable section of the home and is large enough to be transformed into a second bathroom/laundry combination.
And then we head outside.
This is where having 706m² to play with becomes rather fabulous.
The substantial covered patio provides a big outdoor entertaining zone with room for the barbecue, a long table and plenty of friends. Sitting alongside the below-ground swimming pool, it is easy to imagine this becoming the place everyone gravitates towards during a Perth summer.
There is still room around the home, along with a powered shed for additional storage and a single garage at the front.
Air conditioning adds everyday practicality, while the home's existing finishes mean you can move in, settle down and progressively personalise things to suit your own taste and budget.
Then there is Padbury itself.
Macquarie Avenue puts you in a very handy position within this consistently sought-after northern suburb, with local parks, shops, schools and public transport close by. Westfield Whitford City, Hillarys Boat Harbour and our beautiful coastline are all within easy reach.
Families will also appreciate that 88 Macquarie Avenue sits within the local intake area for Duncraig Senior High School, adding another very good reason to put this one on the shopping list.
There may be things here you will change.
But four bedrooms, two living zones, a pool and 706m² in Padbury?
That is a very good place to start.
