Whether you need to accommodate a big family or an extended family or just want stacks of elbow room and space for entertaining, this attractive property is sure to fit the bill.
It’s an established, semi-rural holding consisting of a double brick home on a 3218sqm corner block, with several living spaces, a self-contained granny flat, a three-bay powered shed and even a heated swimming pool.
There’s room here for all family members and visitors to find their own space or get together for meals, games, parties or relaxation.
A private retreat, it’s set among charming gardens with native trees at the boundary and an inspiring blend of cottage plants, succulents, roses, creepers and vines creating a natural wonderland. It’s paradise for active children, while a gazebo and various sheds, aviaries and shade houses are set up to please the family gardener, and there’s ample rainwater from two tanks.
Inside, the main home consists of well-proportioned rooms, most with full-length windows or glazed doors for a sunny ambience, feature ceilings and slate floors.
The most popular spot is sure to be the expansive family room with a wood fire, a pull-down projector screen, a bar with a wine rack, and two sets of glass doors onto a covered patio running along the back of the house, overlooking the swimming pool.
There’s also a sizeable, carpeted lounge, a dining room, a games room and a study.
Centrally located, the kitchen has a pantry, dishwasher, wide gas stove, ample cabinetry and a lovely view over the gardens from the sink.
The king-sized master bedroom has a walk-through robe to a semi-ensuite bathroom, and a second bathroom serves the other two bedrooms, both of which are doubles.
While the kitchen and bathrooms are dated, this could be an ongoing project for astute owners making a reasonable additional investment to add significant value and be rewarded with a big, modern, desirable home. Most other improvements could be purely cosmetic.
Another key benefit is the adjoining granny flat, an accessible, 2008-built addition to the main home, with a separate gas and water supply. This light, welcoming home has its own entrance, a comfy living room with glass doors onto a private garden, a neat kitchen/dining area, a shower room, a separate toilet and laundry, and a double bedroom with a walk-in robe.
The impressive 10m x 10m shed has high-clearance doors and a workshop area, and there’s ample parking space besides.
This well-built, many-faceted property is packed with features and scope for families to make their own mark on the place while reveling in the natural beauty of the block and the location near excellent fishing spots in the King River and Oyster Harbour, and a short drive from the boat launch.
Town is a 15-minute commute away, and the Great Southern Grammar five minutes down the road.
