1/45 Wilcock Avenue, Balcatta WA 6021

Occupying a front and corner position, this delightful 3-bedroom 1-bathroom villa sits directly opposite a lovely neighbourhood park and the Beryl Street playground, allowing you to enjoy splendid views and the convenience of keeping an eye on your kids having fun at the very same time.

This prime park side Balcatta location is also close to public transport, excellent schools, shopping centres and other lush neighbourhood parklands - all only walking distance away and a matter of minutes from your front doorstep. Easy access to both the coast and city is quite simply a bonus here, further enhancing what is an ultra-convenient lifestyle.

A huge rear courtyard plays host to two shade sails for extra protection from the elements, as well as a blend of paving and low-maintenance artificial turf. In the mornings, there is plenty of natural sunlight to bathe in, whilst the afternoon shade provides a nice, cool respite - especially during those hotter summer months.

Inside, timber floors grace a central lounge room that opens out to the courtyard, as well as the adjacent dining and kitchen area where double sinks and feature subway-tile splashbacks meet a gas cooktop (with a central electric hotplate) and a Fisher and Paykel oven. A pleasant park vista from the kitchen window also allows you to keep an eye on the young ones, across the road.

All three bedrooms are carpeted for comfort, with the huge master comprising of a double-door built-in wardrobe, as well as gorgeous treetop glimpses to wake up to. One of the spare bedrooms has a built-in robe too, whilst a practical bathroom is brilliant in its simplicity and is where you will find a bathtub, separate shower, and a feature skylight/fan/light combination.

There are also no common walls to any living areas here, whilst a lock-up storeroom completes the package. The chirping local birdlife is just the cherry on top!
