This home is nestled just a few doors up from the majestic "Class A" Star Swamp Bushland Reserve boasting 94 hectares of beautiful bushland with heritage marked walking trails, and only a few hundred metres walking distance from the beach.

A gated front entrance adds security and overall peace of mind, revealing a delightful courtyard with wooden verandah for outdoor entertaining overlooking a leafy garden. Double French doors off the spacious master bedroom link outside to the courtyard.

Original Jarrah timber floorboards warm a large and welcoming lounge, as well as a separate dining room. The light and bright kitchen is huge and has been impressively renovated to include a five-burner gas cook top/oven, a dishwasher, double porcelain sinks, wooden benches and ample storage options. The kitchen has fantastic servery windows that allow interaction to a rear alfresco deck under a gable roof.

This home has a modern bathroom with large bath, pressed tin ceiling and separate toilet. The laundry area also has a separate shower which can be utilised for the outside pool area.

The floor plan has a generously-proportioned living or family room at the back of the house, complete with split-system air-conditioning, easy-care flooring, double French doors that open out to the main alfresco and plenty of space to convert the area into either a fourth bedroom/retreat or home office. On the North facing side of the house is a below-ground salt chlorinated swimming pool - with swim jets - surrounded by wooden decking and a splendid poolside gazebo that can be accessed via a remote-controlled single carport, behind the safety of double driveway gates.

Adding to this property's desirable location is the fact that it is only a short stroll from both Marmion and North Beach Primary Schools, Marmion Village Shopping Centre and the vibrant Flora Terrace and West Coast Drive café and restaurant strips as well as, the popular M.A.A.C Club.
