A rather unassuming front faade masks all the character that is hiding within. A wide timber balcony welcomes you up to the home where you are immediately transported back to the 70s.
Privately set to the right of the spacious formal entry is the wonderful master suite. Offering sought-after separation, it boasts a neat bathroom with a roman bath and shower, a walk-in robe with a dressing nook and sliding doors to both the front verandah and a courtyard.
The generous open plan living area effortlessly flows between each zone and to the surrounding outdoors via large picture windows, making it a fantastic family hub. With modernist style and design featured throughout, it is typified by the sunken conversation pit, which is sure to be a good talking point with friends and family. There is an ornate, original slow combustion fire place and reverse cycle air conditioner to ensure optimal comfort all year round.
The golden canary yellow kitchen sits with pride in the heart of the home. Complete with a built-in pantry, electric appliances and pendant lights over the original island, it is both practical and stylish. Open to the meals for family functionality, sliding doors flow out to the courtyard to create a fantastic space for casual barbeques and seamless entertaining.
From here, the split-level layout steps up to the second living room and junior wing. Offering the ideal balance of separation and integration, it is a versatile lounge that features both a reverse cycle air conditioner and ornate fire place. The two junior bedrooms are each a double size with built-in robes, divided by the second bathroom, toilet and built-in linen press.
Separately nestled at the front of the easy-care native property is a single garage with an adjoining carport and studio. Superbly versatile, there is a phone line and water connection so you could run your own business from home, use it as an office, teen or guest retreat.
Tucked to the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a close-knit family-friendly community, this is a sought-after Hills neighbourhood for a reason. Adjoining Helena College the kids can simply cross the oval to either get to school or catch the bus. There are a range of local cafes, shops and parks within walking distance, whilst Midland or Mundaring are less than 15 minutes either way.
