Floor to ceiling windows frame the outdoor greenery on both sides of this space and an awesome black Toodjay stone feature fireplace commands your attention at the far end of the room. Under the carpets there are Jarrah timber floorboards and the ceilings are so incredibly high - the story goes that during construction, the brickies forgot to stop and had laid seven extra courses of bricks before they noticed!The kitchen is at the far end of the central living, adjacent to the dining room and has a cool 1960s vibe with white cabinetry and tiles, linoleum flooring and timber laminate feature cupboard doors. It overlooks the rear gardens and the daily evening sunsets to the west over the coastal dune systems which make up this glorious south city beach precinct - such a wonderful aspect to enjoy over your evening meal prep. The laundry is off the back of the kitchen, and doubles as a scullery and is in the perfect position for filling the trough with ice and drinks when entertaining.To the north of the main living, doors open to a sundrenched north facing courtyard with private perimeter fencing such that you can't be seen from the street outside but so the incredible 180-degree virgin bushland views of Bold Park opposite are not obscured in any way.At the front of the house, a later extension gives the perfect "parents retreat" which gives excellent separation from the children's wing at the rear.
