The owners are reluctantly ready to downsize.
This quality home has so been so lovingly maintained, it is as fresh today as the day they moved in, it has seen the family grow, shrink and then expand again with the arrival of treasured grandchildren.
From the street, you are greeted by a small cottage garden offering shade and privacy while the double entrance doors are the perfect scale for the home beyond. Inside you will be delighted to discover this home was designed around family life by the use of open plan entertaining rooms along with separate living and bedroom spaces.
Your family will enjoy coming together in the large kitchen / family / meals area with its charming pot belly wood stove for winter evenings. Cedar doors from the living and meals areas open to a shady wrap around alfresco fringed by lush gardens and there is also a sparkling pool with solar heating and an outdoor shower for summer days.
The kitchen is a triumph of design and features high-quality Neff stainless-steel appliances along with seemingly acres of marble granite benchtops including the central island bench with waterfall ends and the connected servery in the meals area. Well thought-out storage includes a walk-in pantry, under-bench and overhead cupboards as well as plentiful drawers to deliver multiple storage options.
The elegant dining room will effortlessly host your largest gathering and is also where you have access to your own air conditioned and locked 1,000 bottle wine cellar.
There are beautiful recycled timbers throughout which means the feature floors even have their own memories. Don’t miss the stunning Brushbox timber in the dining room which was rescued from a Sydney wharf and the master bedroom floor is the perfect second life for Karri saved from the old R&I Bank in Barrack Street.
The spacious master bedroom is ideally located downstairs and has a large ensuite as well as extensive built-in robes. Working from home will be a pleasure from the oversized office with a large custom desk and masses of storage but it would easily revert to an additional bedroom with a full-size walk-in robe if needed. Upstairs offers two more queen size beds each with built-in robes along with a central activity room plus a family bathroom and separate powder room which is perfect for kids of all ages.
While Manning Road offers direct access to the Freeway, it’s less than 1.5km to Canning Bridge Train Station and Curtin University is just minutes away. A short walk will see you at the revitalised Ley Street shops and your local primary and secondary options are some of Perth’s premier private and public schools. Then there is McDougall Park with playgrounds, BBQ facilities and walking paths!
This home has so many lovely memories for the current owners and it also comes with historical memories but rest assured, there is ample room to begin making your own wonderful memories.
