Helena Valley WA 6056

Boasting two separate street frontages, this grand foothills property of almost two entire acres is headlined by a sublime 5 bedroom 3 bathroom single-level family haven, spectacularly surrounded by manicured parkland grounds within the tranquillity of Perth's beautiful Darling Scarp.Beyond double electric front-driveway gates lies a welcoming front deck that is overlooked by a terrific pitched-roof alfresco, off the huge family room. The latter is warmed by gleaming wooden floorboards and comprises of a feature log fireplace in the corner, adjacent to the open-plan dining and kitchen area where sparkling stone bench tops and double sinks meet quality stainless-steel-dishwasher, range-hood, gas-cooktop and Miele-oven appliances.Double French doors reveal a separate lounge room at one end of the house and a large theatre room at the other. That same wing of the home impressively boasts not one, but two, master-bedroom suites. The second will appeal as "guest" quarters with privacy doors, a walk-in wardrobe and an intimate ensuite bathroom with a vanity, shower and toilet. A sumptuous main master suite incorporates a relaxing parents' retreat into its design, alongside a giant walk-in robe and an over-sized ensuite - toilet, rain shower, separate bathtub, twin "his and hers" vanities all beckoning indulgent relaxation.The fifth bedroom - or home office - is carpeted for comfort and has its own built-in robe for good measure. Separating the third and fourth bedrooms (both with built-in robes) are a powder room, a fully-tiled main family bathroom with a separate bath and shower and an efficient laundry with linen storage and rear-verandah access.A shimmering resort-style below-ground swimming pool is neighboured by a delightful shade sail and leaves plenty of room to laze around it under the sun. It is all overlooked by a massive timber-lined alfresco-entertaining area (off the theatre room) with a burning wood-fire pizza oven.Externally, the acreage also has a large storeroom (with a generous lean-to for more cover) and an enormous powered workshop shed of over 120sqm where you will find a vehicle hoist and built-in beer taps, amongst other things. It really does make for the perfect "man cave". There is also a rainwater tank and a firepit, within footsteps of a gorgeous winter creek.Picturesque Helena River parklands sit only minutes from your front door, as do the Boya Community Centre, the local library, shopping, transport and Helena Valley Primary School. Only 30 minutes separate this extraordinary expanse from the CBD, with Perth Airport approximately 15 minutes away in its own right. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the lifestyle you know you deserve!
