It is rare to enter a home and immediately feel an air of absolute calm and stillness, as the outside world melts away. That atmosphere is the defining quality of this beautiful family home, created after years of careful planning, with every element considered. It is a sanctuary that also offers the security of income or flexibility for extended family, with a highly desirable studio apartment attached.
The main home's thoughtfully designed layout features north-facing open plan, a second living or theatre room, an office, alfresco dining, and a beautiful master suite separate from the other bedrooms. You can feel the sea breezes in this elevated location, with shopping a stroll away, schools nearby, and South Freo and the beach just down the road.
The whisper-quiet entry hallway leads to a TV room or living with coffered ceiling, and an office (or music room or library). A lovely bathroom in natural tones is adjacent to two carpeted bedrooms with walk-in robes. The home opens up at the rear to the open-plan, where simply fine finishes add to the air of relaxation.
The spacious white kitchen has pale engineered stone tops and beautiful handmade white tile splashbacks, and those details continue in the laundry beyond, which includes a wall of fitted storage. Living and dining opens up on two sides: sliding doors to the east connect the living with the alfresco for outdoor dining, and to the north is a raised aggregate deck above the lawn and gardens, where the refined landscaping includes fig, frangipani, citrus. That interaction with the outdoors is one of the delights of the master suite, which also opens to the rear garden. It is a restful retreat, with walk-in robes and en-suite bathroom in cool, calming hues.
Above the native verge garden out front, the aggregate driveway leads to parking for the apartment to one side, and on the other side, an over-sized double garage with space for workshop bench and storage. Other practicalities include solar power, a large shed, rainwater tank, reticulation, hi-spec insulation, double glazing, and an entry camera that can be viewed remotely. The apartment shares the quality finishes of the main home, with bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/sitting room, patio and independent entry, and is currently rented for $400 a week. If you decide to incorporate the apartment back into the main home, that can be easily achieved.
