The spacious, generously proportioned interiors offer a welcoming embrace and the perfect backdrop to years of family life filled with love, laughter and memory-making.4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom1968-built stone and ironWide wrap-around verandahJarrah floors & high ceilingsOpen-plan kitchen/mealsSeparate insulated studioPowered & plumbed w'shopFruit trees & chicken coop9897 sqm block, private locRare acreage with mains waterIt is impossible not to love this lifestyle property, with its overload of character, established gardens, powered workshop and studio, and just under 2.5 acres in a secluded Parkerville setting. An expansive wrap-around verandah with solid timber underfoot and bush poles leads into the kitchen/meals area. Charming but not twee, this updated space features black and white tile-look floors, ample overhead and under-bench storage, and an L-shaped benchtop surrounding a freestanding oven and dishwasher. Room for a small table confirms this as a family hub. A walk-in pantry, an appliance nook and an island bench ensure this room is an efficient workspace.High ceilings throughout, a light and limited palette of colours, and the warm materiality of jarrah floors create a home that melds old-fashioned authenticity with modern practicality and sensibilities. In the family room, a pitched timber-lined ceiling exposed struts create a seamless blend of tradition and design, offering a timeless sense of modernity. A slow-combustion fireplace and overhead fans deliver year-round comfort.The principal and junior bedrooms are arranged at either end of the plan, with the shared living spaces at the centre. In the junior wing, to the north, three good sized bedrooms sit around a multi-use activity room. The parents' zone sits at the home's southern end and features a large bedroom, dual-aspect glazing with garden views, and a triple wardrobe. A separate WC and a shared bathroom featuring a black-and-white palette, a shower and a freestanding tub complete the layout at this end of the plan. To the west of the home, the deep verandah extends out to create a fabulous alfresco entertaining area and the perfect space for watching the sunset. From each side of the verandah, blissful views unfold - fruit trees, cottage-style gardens, and native vegetation combine in an utterly charming and inspiring melange, forming a wonderful space for adventure and imaginative play and ample space for a lifestyle underpinned by a degree of self-sufficiency. Brick-paved paths meander through the gardens towards a freestanding studio with a concrete floor. This ample space is suited to multiple uses. Further along the path is a 9 X 6 Colorbond workshop with power and plumbing. It is lined and features a slow-combustion fire, overhead fans, and a large north-facing glass door. The freedom to move, create and build a lifestyle close to nature is here for the taking. To arrange an inspection of this property, call Lee Nangle - 0427 202 366.
