15/2 Waterway Court, Churchlands WA 6018

What we love
This terrific two-storey 2 bedroom 1 bathroom-plus study apartment's enviable position within the beautifully-presented "Waterways" complex, just footsteps away from bus stops, Herdsman Central Shopping Centre and picturesque Herdsman Lake itself. The latter is all accompanied by easy access to the local tavern and fresh food at The Herdsman (virtually across the road), with top schools and even Lake Monger also nearby. Both the coast and city are also within arm's reach, as is the sparkling complex swimming pool and common lawn area.

Your own private access gate gets you close enough to the pool without actually getting wet, with the secure entry courtyard doubling as a lovely entertaining area where a table and chairs would fit perfectly into place. Solid timber floorboards warm an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area downstairs that enjoys two separate sliding-door access points out to the courtyard. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, whilst the air-conditioned study can be found off the just-as-generous second bedroom.

What to know
Split-system air-conditioning makes the ground-floor living zone comfortable all year round, whilst the kitchen comprises of double sinks, a storage pantry and an electric-upright cooker. The wooden flooring continues upstairs where a combined bathroom-come-laundry makes the most of the space on offer. There, a bathtub with a showerhead meets a toilet, powder vanity for pampering and a wash trough for clothes.

A second tranquil courtyard out back is bordered by reticulated gardens and allows you to sit and quietly contemplate life under the shade of the trees. Extras include a lock-up storeroom, a downstairs storage cupboard and nearby separate toilet, a second split-system in the study, a gas hot-water system, security doors and your own car bay. This is the type of residence that makes living easy.
