Stairs curve gently as they lead to the main entrance and east-facing verandah wrapping the front of this home. A spacious foyer gives the first indication of the high ceilings and pleasing proportions displayed throughout. From the foyer, a formal lounge and dining room extends to the kitchen meals arranged across the back of the plan. A large three-bay window in the loungeroom looks across the front verandah, while a north-facing picture window floods the dining room with natural light.
The long, well-appointed kitchen offers the flexibility of a second informal seating area, space for a family-sized table and a central island and integrated breakfast bar. A free-standing 900mm oven with a five-burner hob and an electric wall oven and grill give you plenty of scope for culinary creativity. A built-in pantry, a dishwasher and ample bench space and storage are prep and clean-up a dream, and a view of the green open space of a reserve from a window behind the kitchen sink offers a delightful distraction while washing up. A sliding door opens onto the rear verandah and stairs down to the backyard.
Three carpeted bedrooms—two with ceiling fans and built-in timber wardrobes—are arranged off the meals area. These three rooms share the family bathroom, which is fitted with a vanity, WC, and over-tub shower.
At one corner of the kitchen/meals area, a spiral staircase leads to the laundry, second bathroom, and an expansive open-plan room with endless possibilities. Once a dance studio, this big, flexible space is currently styled as a bedroom, family room, and kitchenette and could become an impressive self-contained flat for older parents or adult children, an impressive teens’ retreat, or a first-class media and entertainment space.
The home offers front and rear outdoor space with a paved driveway leading to an in-out garage with a storeroom at the rear. The backyard is a practical blend of paving and lawn with sightlines to a reserve at the rear boundary. Fully fenced and a good size, there is ample space for outdoor seating and dining, room for kids and pets to run and play and the scope to grow fruit and vegetables.
Located in an established neighbourhood of old Midland, this home comes with the gift of the Swan River nearby, local schools within walking distance and city services, shops and transport links minutes away. With its generous proportions and adaptable potential, this property immediately evokes a powerful sense of belonging.
