HOME OPEN CANCELLED FOR THURSDAY AND SATURDAY
Light-filled and spacious, this solid brick-and-tile family home has a generous layout, great original features and a peaceful location close to sought-after schools and the beach.
Situated at the end of a paved cul-de-sac, the home has an immaculate street presence, with a landscaped front garden of lawn and established magnolia and camellias. Raked ceilings and a double-height entrance provide an impressive welcome, while the living areas are wrapped around an alfresco area and pool, making this a great home for entertaining and family life.
A formal living room has high-level windows, original pendant lights and new blackbutt floorboards, plus an adjacent study area with built-in cabinets and sliding doors to the backyard.
The main family room has at its centre a stylish and functional kitchen, renovated in 2011, with a generous island bench/breakfast bar, two Bosch pyrolytic ovens, an integrated water filter, an induction cooktop, a Schweigen rangehood and a pantry with pullout drawers and shelving. This room leads through double French doors into a cosy carpeted family room.
Bedrooms are zoned, with a main suite to the front of the house featuring a walk-in robe and semi-ensuite with a corner spa, double vanity and separate shower. A guest bedroom next door could also be used as a study.
A bedroom wing beyond the living areas has three double bedrooms, all with built-in robes, a large family bathroom with bath, separate shower and separate toilet, and a generous laundry with a drying courtyard,where you'll also find an established lemon tree and a garden shed.
The north-facing backyard is lawned, with plenty of space for kids to play, a built-in barbecue and a paved alfresco area, as well as a fenced below-ground saltwater pool. The garden overlooks the oval of Churchlands High School, which is currently being re-landscaped but will offer a great place to kick a ball or take the dog for a walk. A generous two-car garage with a fully fitted storage room completes this substantial home.
Churchlands is consistently sought after due to its well-regarded public and private schools, including Churchlands Senior High School and Primary School, Hale School and Newman College, and proximity to both beach and freeway into the CBD. It also has a wonderful leafy feel with nearby Herdsman Lake for morning walks, plus a great local shopping precinct with a post office, GP, chemist and the excellent Herdsman Growers Market for a huge range of fresh local produce.
