Lovely tall trees and light bush partly screens the road where a circular driveway leads up to the original house, which has been extended and renovated during its life. Enter into a spacious open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area that gets plenty of glorious light thanks to banks of windows and a skylight. Ducted evaporative cooling throughout plus a fan and slow combustion fire on a brick hearth in the lounge creates a cosy environment.
The cool green kitchen has an island bench, laminate benchtops, a built-in pantry, two-drawer dishwasher, electric oven and gas cooktop. The laundry is neatly combined into the kitchen in the European style with its own sink and under bench washing machine alcove.
The generous master bedroom has built-in robes and all bedroom share a lovely bathroom that has floor to ceiling tiles, a fabulous corner spa and shower, a corner vanity and separate toilet. An additional shower and toilet are accessed from the alfresco patio, which would make a particularly excellent arrangement if you decided to install a pool, as was originally the case.
It s great to have another living space, especially with kids, so you ll enjoy the family room, which has cork floors, a built-in shelving unit and large windows overlooking the backyard. A study with built-in cupboards sits adjacent to the back door, which has a small foyer for shoe racks or a hall table.
The fantastic gable roofed alfresco patio looks out over the huge backyard with its picture perfect Jacaranda and a small vegetable patch close to the house. Down the way, a bank of three brick stables with concrete floors and an iron verandah are currently used as storage but with a little money, love and inspiration, they would make a fabulous granny flat or additional living space. Add a pool into the mix and you d have a seriously awesome entertaining area.
A large, drive-thru shed with three-phase power, concrete floors, sliding doors and high ceilings makes easy work of your projects or storing your toys. Aligned to this, there is an additional double garage with tilt-up doors and workbenches. A single carport attached to the house and ample parking out the front with the added convenience of the circular driveway makes moving vehicles or caravans a breeze.
What a great location! It s an easy walk to the aquatic centre and both the primary and high schools. Walking trails through Leschenaultia Reserve to the lake start at the end of the street. Mt Helena s town centre with its shops, sporting facilities and friendly pub is a stone s throw away.
This is a versatile home that would just as easily suit a young family getting started or a couple looking for a peaceful place to relax.
