This is, without a doubt, right at the top of the list for hills living opportunities. Set on an 911 square metre block, it's an outstanding option for anyone who doesn't vibe with the boring or the dull and wants a hills home on a beautiful, usable block with views and great outdoor entertaining.
I've just described this house, and if that's your bag, then this is your place. You can see it from the photos - two levels of amazing living space. Check out the floor plan for a bit more detail, and there's a video walkthrough that will show you everything you need to see. But all that aside, photos, videos, and floor plans are nothing compared to being here. You won't want to leave, and we can make that happen.
LIVING HERE
The kitchen is a great space - as good to look at as it is practical to work in. There's heaps of workspace and great storage, and it all flows perfectly with the meals and living area. There's a real character element built into this home, and wherever you find yourself, there's something to make you appreciate that space. The meals area opens out to that stunning alfresco, but we'll come back to that in a minute.
From an internal perspective, the whole place just has a feeling of togetherness - whether it's the family gathered inside or big get-togethers that spill into that awesome outdoor area that works so harmoniously with the indoor space.
The downstairs living area is a great size and easily accommodates larger furniture styles. Completing the downstairs experience is the beautiful bedroom that opens up to the garden and features a built-in wardrobe plus a lovely ensuite. That ensuite has been beautifully designed with an ambience that'll probably make you want to ignore the water restrictions. I don't advocate that - I'm just saying it's a nice place to find yourself… maybe having a bath, it lasts longer.
It would be remiss of me not to mention the laundry while we're down here. I know, I know - there's not much fun in talking about doing the washing when there's the rest of the house to explore, but let's get real. Life isn't all about entertaining and soaking up the views. Sometimes you have to do the washing. It's a great space, adjacent to the kitchen for convenient flow, and there's plenty of room to get the dirty stuff done.
The upstairs area really is fantastic. As you make your way up, you come to a large living space that has a beautiful outlook across the valley to the other side of the hill. It's super attractive and offers versatility, with the space providing a lot of options for how best to utilise it. The room currently featuring a queen-size bed has been perfectly crafted. It has a walk-in wardrobe and a private balcony with its own deck, and makes for a beautiful sitting area to enjoy the sunrise or relax at the end of the day. The other two bedrooms are also beautifully designed, and the main bathroom is a spectacular feature. There's ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning up here, so whatever the weather, the level of comfort is at your fingertips.
OUTSIDE
This whole outdoor living space is just extraordinary - designed to cater to the masses that will no doubt be excited for any invite to your place. It offers year-round usability with the café blinds that can drop down for protection or lift up to make the most of a perfect day. It overlooks the beautiful lower lawn area and is at the same level as the upper lawn and garden. They've even created a ramped lawn area, so this becomes very usable and functional for kids and pets of all ages and abilities. It's fully fenced and very secure, so this really is fantastic for family living. The front gardens are exceptionally designed, and there are feature garden beds and beautiful established trees in place out here.
There is a garage accessed from the adjacent street, and parking here is very easy, with the huge driveway providing ample space. And if you've got a big group making their way over to enjoy your outdoor entertaining area, there's heaps of parking across the front and side of the property. It really is as practical as it is beautiful.
WHERE IT IS
The property is close to so much, but you'd never know it when you're here. It's just up the street from Good Shepherd Primary School and close to Kelmscott Primary School as well. Within a couple of minutes, you have great restaurants, cafés, and more. It's a remarkable location, and if you've never been here before, come for the inspection and then go for lunch at Avocados - a beautiful restaurant and pub on the banks of the Canning River - or head up the hill and enjoy a world-class meal at Seven Sins. Great coffee from all the cafés in that area. There are forest trails through the bush nearby and so many reasons to enjoy the lifestyle on offer here.
