55 Kitchener Road, Melville WA 6156

Beautifully transformed and extended, an original fifties home has become a spacious, solar-powered contemporary home designed for family living. A range of sleeping and living zones accommodates everyone with ease, culminating in a vast north-facing open-plan looking to the alfresco and pool, set in private hedged gardens. Everything is on a generous scale, with independent space for study, play and relaxation, and great flow for entertaining.

Beyond the treed verge and white picket fence lined with lavender, an elevated veranda leads to the entry hallway and the wide jarrah floors that are a real feature throughout the home. An unusually large front bedroom enjoys the garden outlook and includes plenty of space for a study zone - it's one of six bedrooms, with all the freedom to configure as you wish if you want a home office or hobby/music room. The master suite has the luxury of space, complete with its own sitting area and marble-topped double vanity in the en-suite.

A large separate living room adds more flexibility, and the really spectacular space is the north-facing open plan living, dining and chef's kitchen: well-equipped with masses of white cabinetry and engineered stone, including a big island at the heart of it. While you're cooking, you can look out over the alfresco to watch the kids in the solar-heated pool or playing on the back lawn, where there's built-in timber seating for outdoor relaxation.

Behind the kitchen is the family laundry with expansive storage, and separate toilet for easy access from the pool. A home as generous as this one needs places to stash everyone's stuff, and this one has that sorted, including a storeroom, attic storage, a big powered shed, and space in the garage to hang the bikes. Ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning gives complete comfort, and a 10kW solar system keeps the bills low.

Just move in, spread out, enjoy the space and the location: a five minute drive to the river, with Melville Primary a stroll away and beautiful Kadidjiny Park on your doorstep.
