Presenting a fantastic opportunity to secure a flexible five-bedroom home with parks all around, this mid-century classic enjoys the enduring appeal of great architecture, an elevated position and large, light-filled living spaces with room to move for families of all ages.
Positioned on a large, completely rectangular 1012sqm block, this home offers the option to live in comfort "as is", or with exciting potential to add your own 21st century ideas to the original interiors. Alternatively, astute buyers may seize the opportunity to sub-divide (either now or in the future) one of the few remaining quarter acre blocks in the suburb to take full advantage of the 20 plus metre frontage.
Rising up on a large landholding and set well back from the street above an extensive front garden, the home is entered via an elevated terrace to a jarrah-floored lobby. Immediately ahead, glass panels bring light to an internal sitting room, which would work equally well as a second living area, TV room or home office.
Beyond the entrance, the home flows to a vast open-plan living and dining area, opening out to a paved upper terrace, creating an easy indoor/outdoor flow. This huge room is ideal for entertaining on a grand scale, while the terrace provides the perfect spot for your morning coffee, while taking in the treed vista.
The living area leads through to a modern kitchen (with views over the suburb to Wembley Golf Course) and a casual meals area, which opens to an elevated alfresco area overlooking the huge back yard. Perfect for kids to roam and play, there's great potential in this rambling space, featuring a built-in barbecue, fire-pit with surround seating, and a stunning group of five ancient grass trees.
Back inside, five very generous bedrooms offer a range of flexible accommodation, including a rear master suite with its own bathroom, adjacent dressing room (or potential nursery), plus space for a quiet reading or study area. Alternatively, this space, with its own exterior access, would make an ideal independent living suite for multi-generational families or a very lucky teenager.
Downstairs, the three-car garage offers parking and storage on a large scale. Beyond the garage, an adjacent room offers a quiet and private space for a home study, artist's studio, or workshop. There's more parking space in the driveway for a trailer, boat or caravan and the huge laundry has an extra shower and extensive storage.
This fabulous home is located on a quiet street a short walk or bike ride from excellent schools, including Hale School, Newman College and Churchlands Senior High School. You will also enjoy a choice of 3 primary schools, being in the rare catchment overlap for Churchlands, Kapinara, and Wembley Downs Primary Schools.
The beach is a 5 minutes' drive away and the CBD is easily accessed by local transport. Kids and dog lovers will be spoilt with a choice of three beautiful parks all within walking distance, and there's a range of nearby shopping centres including the Ocean and Empire Villages, The Downs and Floreat Forum.
It really is no mystery why you would want to live in this beautiful neighbourhood!
