The sense of careful renewal is confirmed as you step inside to the timber-floored entry hall with adjoining study. This transitional space offers ample room for storing coats, bags and shoes and a secluded work or study area away from the activity of the central living spaces.The high ceilinged, open plan family/meals area is fitted with a slow combustion fireplace, overhead fan and reverse cycle air-conditioner to create a family hub that is comfortable and inviting throughout the seasons. This spacious living zone is filled with natural light and offers flexibility when it comes to styling. Original wide floorboards, modern white cabinetry and warm timber benchtops fashion a pitch-perfect modern country kitchen. The island bench, double butler's sink and Belling oven with 7-burner hob will make the pulse of any cook run a little faster. Easy movement from the kitchen to both the family room and the alfresco entertaining area makes for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The spacious main suite is arranged at the front of the home to create a degree of privacy and separation. Bright and light with plush carpets and open-fronted, built-in robes, this private retreat is a tranquil delight. The two good sized junior rooms feature plush carpets, high ceilings and a neutral colour scheme.A modern family bathroom delivers indulgence and practicality in equal measure with a retro, cast iron slipper tub, walk-in shower, double vanity and W.C. A second W.C. is arranged off the renovated laundry where ample storage, a benchtop and a ceramic sink produce a functional workspace.Off the central kitchen is a semi-enclosed porch overlooking the alfresco entertaining area and backyard. A towering London planetree takes pride of place in the large, north-facing backyard - providing shade in summer, a colourful display in autumn and a sculptural silhouette in winter. The outdoor entertaining area features built-in seating along one side and ample space for a table and barbecue. A wooden path leads to an outdoor shower - perfect for rinsing off after a day at nearby Lake Leschenaultia - and a separate studio space suited to myriad uses. Further down the backyard is the original and still functional outhouse.Along the property's rear boundary is a large, powered workshop with a high-clearance carport for caravan parking. Gated driveways at either side of the home allow for easy access to the workshop and drive-through convenience while also allowing the backyard to be secure for dogs and kids. Chidlow is a friendly Hills town with a local primary school, post office, pub and shops. The much-loved Lake Leschenaultia offers hours of summer fun while the Heritage Trail boasts kilometres of walking and riding. Easy access to arterial roads allows for straightforward access to Mundaring, Midland and beyond.
