THE ENCHANTMENT OF WINTERBELL
NORTH FACING "RIVER FRONTAGE"
ON THE SOUTHBANK OF ABBEYBROOK
In the heart of "The Lake's District" in a whisper quiet cul-de-sac on one of the largest landholdings in all of Abbeybrook Estate, this home promises you a tranquil and beautiful life.
Secluded at the end of the street with only one neighbour, this sprawling, level landholding is roughly 50% greater in area than the average block in the precinct. High on the Southbank with a sundrenched northerly aspect over the tranquil Abbeybrook Waterway, it has a whopping 27.7m "river frontage" directly abutting the crest of the hill onto the Abbeybrook Reserve. Elevated, sundrenched, amongst the treetops and overlooking the waterway, this is a truly special place to call home.
Perfectly level with a cool coastal vibe, this home is deceptively large and will suit your big family. Adult living - mastersuite, parents retreat and music room/library - are secluded at one end of the home. At the far other end of the home is a huge kids wing with four double bedrooms, a study and a family bathroom. At midships, are two more big central living areas, dining and kitchen. Abundant in volume with soaring high ceilings, these two living areas interconnect through French doors and have sliding doors to rear gardens to both the East and the North, providing seamless indoor/outdoor connection to the alfresco dining, pool area, large garden shed and tree lined "river terrace".
Smack bang in the heart of the Churchlands Education Precinct, this home is an easy walk to Newman College and Churchlands Senior High School and only a walk or short bike ride to Hale School.
The adjacent Abbeybrook Waterway interconnects with Perth's most iconic wetlands, pristine and untouched for millennia. Only footsteps to the shoreline, this home offers you the unlikely duality of an ever-so-tranquil life amongst nature, whilst at the same time being so central, so connected and so convenient.
Literally seconds from the lifestyle conveniences Herdsman Fresh Growers Market for all of your fresh and gourmet produce, the Osborne Park Light Industrial Area, the emerging Stirling City Centre (around the current Ikea Precinct), and seconds from the freeway. Couple this with being only a few minutes drive from The Heart of Perth City, the sparkling water's of City Beach, Subi dining and boutique retail and we are not sure that life could get any better!
Swim at City in the mornings before your short morning commute to St. Georges Terrace. Grab a beautiful, fresh meal for the family at Herdies on the way home. Catch a movie and a meal with a loved one in Subi on the weekends. Exercise and stay healthy on the shores of the adjacent Lake's Precinct. Send the kids off to school on foot and never do a school drop off again!
Life is good hereWelcome to Churchlands.
