Wide verandahs on three sides, a tandem carport on the fourth, poolside outdoor entertaining, and a floorplan that uses central living zones, including a study and purpose-built games rooms, to create separate adults' and children's wings give this home impeccable family-friendly credentials. The main entry opens into a formal lounge room with an exposed brick wall and a fireplace with a decorative mantle fitted with a slow-combustion fire. Sandy-toned floor tiles extend underfoot and across much of the plan, bringing a sense of cohesion and organic sensibility. A relaxed living and entertaining space adjoins the formal lounge in the form of an open-plan kitchen, meals and family room, an impressive space with jarrah lined raked ceiling and double doors leading to the paved rear verandah and patio surrounding the below-ground pool. The spacious kitchen uses the warm tones of jarrah to contrast with the crisp white cabinetry and produce a timeless modern effect. Fitted with an electric wall oven and grill, a dishwasher and a four-burner gas hob, the kitchen has ample bench space and storage and is a functional and social space. Adjoining the open-plan area is a games room with access to the rear verandah and patio. This flexible space is an ideal playroom for young children. It could be styled as a formal dining room or an excellent media/screen room. A central hall leads from the open plan to a walk-through laundry with a separate WC, the updated family bathroom and three junior bedrooms, each with carpet, built-in robes and a ceiling fan.The principal suite sits in a seamless extension added to the plan in 1994. A generously proportioned bedroom, walk-in robe, and ensuite fashion an inviting parents' retreat with doors opening onto the shelter and privacy of a north-facing verandah, the perfect spot for a leisurely weekend breakfast or a quiet coffee before the day's chaos descends. A separate study situated beside the parents' retreat provides a quiet space for work or study away from the activity of the central living zones or an ideal nursery for a baby or toddler.The fully fenced backyard extending from the paved below-ground pool and alfresco entertaining area needs some love and attention, but it is easy to see its hidden charms. Established deciduous trees offer a blaze of autumn colour and deep shade in summer. A 10m x 6m shed with a concrete floor provides a fantastic work or storage space. Visual and physical connections to Dodington Park at the rear boundary increase the perceived size of the yard by creating an uninterrupted sight line to the open space of the park and playground.A fully fenced lot with Dodington Park at the rear boundary, a choice of nearby primary and secondary schools and easy access to the bustling village of Mundaring, fashion a home that will adapt to the changing needs and shape of family life and offer a setting for decades of memory-making.To arrange an inspection of this property or for any further information, please call Brad Williams - 0408 887 375.
