This is your chance to live life in full swing. To secure a prime parcel of highly sought-after blue chip Bicton real estate, nestled in cul-de-sac tranquillity, neighbouring the leafy green Point Walter Golf Course. This is the ideal opportunity to live in or lease out while you make plans for renovations or your dream home in the future. This type of landholding is rare and is often passed down from generation to generation.This commanding presence of a spacious two-storey family haven allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds, sprawled across a securely-gated massive 1012sqm. From this very special location, there is also the potential to unlock views to the West from the loft level across the river and the Port.Being right at the end of the cul-de-sac affords you even more privacy than you think you first had, with plenty of scope to add your own personal modern touches throughout simply an added bonus. Local Bicton families know the value of this lifestyle location.There are ample secure parking spaces on the driveway at the front, in addition to the huge remote-controlled lock-up four car garage plus an additional remote-controlled single lock-up garage, right at the top of the driveway near the front door. The latter also has a powered lock-up storeroom. A full glass roof to the striking tiled entry foyer makes an instant first impression and even has openable parts to allow some of that natural fresh air to filter in. What almost doubles as a spectacular "sun room" with a soaring cathedral-style high ceiling has internal gardens and opens out to a covered outdoor alfresco-entertaining terrace with stairs leading down to the driveway.To the right of the entrance, you will discover a huge second lounge/living room that can be whatever you want it to be and has bi-fold privacy doors, split-system air-conditioning, two ceiling fans, beautiful wooden Herringbone floors, three feature skylights, a fold-out ironing board and plenty of space for games and activities.An enormous carpeted second bedroom - with a ceiling fan - sits off that same lounge room, with the functional laundry playing host to a storage attic, a double linen press, under-bench cupboard space, and a main family bathroom. A massive carpeted third or "guest" bedroom with split-system air-conditioning, a ceiling fan and built-in double wardrobes. The laundry has a security-door access out to a paved rear sitting or drying courtyard that is brilliant in its serenity, complements the chirping birdlife quite nicely and has a protective awning. This part of the house could potentially double as a fantastic granny-flat option, with room for a kitchenette to be installed in the laundry if you are that way inclined.Moving across to the other side of the foyer, a commodious open-plan kitchen and dining area is also warmed by gleaming timber floorboards and has its own fan, charming wooden cabinetry, breakfast bar, single-door and double-door walk-in pantries, triple sinks, a powered appliance nook, a ceiling-mounted range hood, an electric island cooktop, double Whirlpool ovens and a stainless-steel Asko dishwasher for good measure.It all sits next to a massive family room with extra high ceilings that extend out to the covered alfresco terrace and is carpeted for comfort, also boasting a split-system air-conditioner, a ceiling fan, a Regency log heater, an abundance of built-in timber cabinetry and gorgeous tree-lined views from within.The adjacent master suite also benefits from terrace access and a lush outlook from within, along with a ceiling fan, split-system air-conditioning, a large "his and hers" walk-through/walk-in robe with drawers and a spacious ensuite on the other side of it.A huge carpeted fourth bedroom also works well as a study or home office and has a ceiling fan, a built-in wall safe and a security window roller shutter to keep that afternoon sun and heat out.The wildcard in the floor plan though is an enormous carpeted upstairs loft with multiple purposes and endless possibilities, best utilised as a wonderful third living zone where a ceiling fan and roof storage access meets breathtaking views to the neighbouring golf-course greens and through the treetops to the other side of the river. What an aspect. The options at this level are endless.Imagine living in total seclusion within the only cul-de-sac that borders the golf course and is also just footsteps away from our picturesque Swan River, near the famous Blackwall Reach. Peace and serenity is guaranteed, but your family will also enjoy years of making memories this close to the river perched on the edge of the reserve. There is a sense of freedom living this close to nature.Melville Plaza Shopping Centre is also nearby, as are the lovely Point Walter Reserve jetty and picnic areas, swimming at the Bicton Baths, water-polo facilities, the East Fremantle Yacht Club, the sprawling Quarantine Park picnic area (above Bicton Baths) and the Attadale shopping precinct that includes cafes, a restaurant, fish-and-chips, coffee, The Foodies Basket, Fresh Provisions and even a hairdressing salon.Bicton Primary school, Attadale Primary school, Santa Maria College and other private schools are also within a very convenient radius, making this dream location all the more special for you and your family.
