The owners have cleverly managed to bring the woodland feeling into the home. On the left of the entrance hall is a bright study with built-in cupboards and ceiling fan, while the lovely formal lounge sits to the right. This is the spot to curl up in on a rainy day! Warm jarrah flooring and decor echoing autumn tones are enhanced by the warmth of a Masport gas fire. Just add the weekend newspapers. Heaven!

Choose to re-join the family and throw open the French door to the family dining room. Further French doors flow from here into a spacious jarrah-floored, North-facing family room, temperature controlled by a gas heater or air-conditioning. The beauty of the layout is that the kitchen, lounge, dining and family rooms are linked, but separate when you need them to be.

A superb renovation in the adjoining kitchen provides a gorgeous range of jarrah cupboards, four-burner gas cooktop and Kleenmaid electric oven. Enjoy your coffee at the down-lit Caesar stone breakfast bar.

Two double bedrooms downstairs maintain the woodland colour theme; both have ceiling fans, built-in wardrobes and share a pristine family bathroom. This floor is completed by a good size laundry with cupboards, a separate toilet, and an under stairs cupboard currently used for wine storage.

A second-storey addition offers an exclusive studio-style parents' zone. Externally, its timber cladding blends in perfectly, enclosing this spacious air-conditioned master bedroom, lounge area and white ensuite.

Back on the ground floor, and French doors from the family room spill out to a terrace with a distinctly Mediterranean feel. A retractable awning extends the entertaining season. Established shade trees flank the path to the top terrace, where a covered, solar-heated pool, extensive timber decking (with useful storage space under) and background lawns complete this lovely property.

Despite being convenient for city work - the local train station is a few minutes' drive - Glenalta boasts a strong sense of 'country' community. A popular selection for education might be Belair Primary and St John's Grammar, with Blackwood High, Scotch College and Mercedes College also within easy reach. At the weekend, active residents head into the National Park for golf, tennis and cycling/walking trails, or garden enthusiasts to the delights of the well-respected State Nursery.

It is hard to imagine what else you might wish for in a home. This one is just waiting to share its wonderful warmth with a new family.
