LIFE'S A BEACH
Desirably positioned right across the road from the beach in a tranquil enclave off the street and boasting stunning panoramic ocean views from Carnac and Rottnest Islands and all the way up to Two Rocks, this palatial family haven combines contemporary coastal living with a Balinese outdoor influence and will comfortably cater for everybody's personal needs within.
A secure gated entry into the property ensures plenty of parking space in the driveway and the three car garage, as well as providing an overall peace of mind. Downstairs, the minor sleeping quarters include three bedrooms (all with walk-in wardrobes and ceiling fans) that are serviced by a spacious main bathroom, a powder room, laundry and a study off the entry.
Folding doors from the foyer reveal a central living room that, like the neighbouring home gymnasium, extends out to a fabulous timber alfresco deck with an outdoor kitchen overlooking the shimmering gas heated spa and swimming pool, a fabulous gazebo, a series of trickling water features and leafy gardens that define serenity. There is also an outdoor hot and cold water shower and a separate toilet for guests, plus your own private gate that opens from the luscious rear lawns to sprawling beachside parklands.
Upstairs, the sumptuous master ensemble is a highlight, where all the trappings of a five-star resort hotel are merged into a retreat of relaxation and contemplation. A second home office can also be a nursery, as could the intimate music room, but the open-plan kitchen and family area is where most of your time will be spent soaking up a spectacular vista that can be fully absorbed from the enclosed dining room, a magnificent rear alfresco balcony and a sunny north facing timber deck that completes the plethora of outdoor entertaining options accompanying this airy resort style home.
Enviably nestled on one of the area's most sought-after streets, this picturesque residence finds itself within minutes of pristine northern beaches (including Mullaloo), the wonderful Hillarys Marina, top schools (including St Mark's Anglican Community School), outstanding shopping at Westfield Whitford City, public transport, a host of delightful parks and more. This is your one-way ticket to a dream family lifestyle!
