Compact and practical, this lovely home is full of light. A fabulous glass-wrapped sunroom on the south side draws you through the house and is a perfect place for a cuppa while you contemplate what you ll pick for dinner from your vegie patch. The tiled sunroom has a wall-mounted air-conditioning unit to keep you cool on the hot days and a slow combustion fire to warm your toes in winter. It opens through screened sliding doors facilitating great cross-ventilation and leading you out to an alfresco entertaining area at one end and a tandem carport at the other.
The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge rooms form the hub of this cosy home. The kitchen overlooks the sunroom and the paddocks beyond and has an electric oven, gas cooktop, ample space for a large fridge, a fantastic walk-in pantry with a sliding door and easy care laminate flooring. The comfortable and spacious carpeted lounge room has high raked ceilings, a split system air-conditioner and another slow combustion fire, which warms the whole house.
The generous master bedroom has built-in mirror robes, a fan, and an ensuite with toilet, shower and vanity. The remaining bedrooms share the main bathroom with bath, shower and vanity plus a separate toilet near the laundry with a door to the sunroom.
Head outside and you ll find an enormous powered workshop/shed, which has a large separate storage area to the side accessed through sliding doors and a 120,000L rainwater tank. This excellent, versatile space could be set up as an awesome party area, a practical workshop, machinery shed, you name it. Nearby there is a small chook shed and yard that backs onto three fenced paddocks, which are bordered by a long line of mature trees to effectively screen the neighbours and provide shelter to the paddocks.
This abundant property has a thriving orchard of fruit and nut trees including nectarine, plum, peach, apricot, mango, fig, macadamia and a variety of citrus. There are nine large corrugated iron raised garden beds plus various other smaller ones and two compost bays that form a substantial, fully fenced vegetable garden. The entire garden, including all the fruit trees and the attractive rose garden at the front of the house, is reticulated from the bore.
Follow the stone-lined paths to find lovely little hideaway spots, a pond and hammock under the shady, well-mulched native gardens surrounding the house and shed. The house block is securely fenced and there is plenty of extra parking space.
Gidgegannup town site and all its handy amenities including an IGA supermarket, pharmacy, stockfeeder, post office, bakery and fish n chip shop, are in all walking distance. Kids can ride their bikes to the local primary school or catch a bus to the high school from nearby Bunning Road.
This much loved and well priced 5 acre property represents an amazing opportunity to move toward self sufficiency and carve out a simple but abundant lifestyle in picturesque Gidgegannup.
