Pleasantly surprising you with its serenity and soul, this enchanting 3 bedroom 2 bathroom character sanctuary feels like a warm hug from another era - beautifully brought into the now where it counts.
Timeless features and nostalgic charm set the scene, while thoughtful modern upgrades ensure effortless comfort for today's busy family life. It's the perfect blend of original magic and contemporary ease, wrapped up in a fabulous location you'll absolutely love.
The front yard is securely gated for peace of mind, with a sunken paved courtyard and lawn area splendidly overlooked by a large entry verandah with a shade blind to filter just how much morning sunshine you choose to take in. The shaded and protected backyard is framed by trees and leaves heaps of room for a future swimming pool, with more grass for the kids and pets to run around on. The tranquil garden oasis is completed by a selection of fruit trees - including a mandarin tree right by the paved back courtyard - and a superb alfresco-entertaining deck with shade blinds for its own shelter from the elements.
Internally, high ceilings and gleaming Jarrah timber floors grace the front part of the house, where a spacious master suite is the pick of the bedrooms with its walk-in wardrobe, decorative ceiling rose and brand-new fully-tiled ensuite bathroom - headlined by a walk-in rain/hose shower, twin "his and hers" marble vanities, a Herringbone-tile feature wall and a toilet. Adjacent to custom hallway shelves, the second bedroom is also large in size. A huge third bedroom comprises of built-in double-door robes, whilst the fully-tiled main family bathroom has also been newly revamped to perfection with a relaxing bathtub, rain/hose showerheads, a marble vanity, toilet, feature Herringbone tiling and a skylight for natural illumination.
A double linen press adds to the residence's storage capacity, sitting opposite a delightful light-filled formal lounge room - or possible fourth bedroom - with double sliding doors, new linen curtains, an open wood fireplace, a gorgeous leadlight window feature and pleasant north-facing and east-facing outlooks to savour.
For peace and quiet, double French doors shut off a massive sunken open-plan family, dining and kitchen area, where most of your casual time will undoubtedly be spent. Natural stone floor tiles, stylish pendant light fittings, a gas bayonet, a new split-system air-conditioner, French windows and original Jarrah windowsills and frames all complement double-French-door access out to the alfresco deck, backyard and beyond.
The classy kitchen itself has also been exquisitely modernised to include double farmhouse-style sinks, subway-tile splashbacks, a breakfast bar, a microwave recess, a double-door storage pantry, endless extra storage, a stainless-steel Westinghouse dishwasher and quality 900mm-wide stainless-steel range-hood and Smeg six-burner gas-cooktop/oven appliances. Off the kitchen, the well-appointed laundry is also brand-new and epic in its proportions, with a stone bench top, a walk-in linen/broom cupboard, a full-height double linen press, under-bench storage, internal hanging space, a clothing hamper and a separate powder room - with a marble vanity - all accompanied by direct courtyard access, for drying.
Parking-wise, a double carport at the front of the property has plenty of storage options underneath it, whilst Sorensen Lane at the rear provides an access gate to the backyard - as well as connecting to a remote-controlled single lock-up garage with air-conditioning, extra width and storage space and potential to become the ultimate workshop, home office or "man cave".
You will absolutely love the convenience associated with living here, close to all of the top school catchments (including Wembley Primary School around the corner and Bob Hawke College), public transport, the freeway, shopping, cafes and restaurants on Cambridge Street, picturesque walks around both Herdsman Lake and Lake Monger, Wembley Golf Course and outstanding community sporting facilities. Not forgetting just how handy both the coast and city are from this very central locale.
Hurry, though. Homes with this much heart - and this much sense - don't stay secret for long!
