A picket fence, fruit trees and clipped hedges lead to the welcome of a deep verandah and into the interconnected living rooms with wide jarrah floorboards, fireplaces and high ceilings. <br/><br/>The first of these spaces features a pair of original timber-framed windows with views of the north-facing front garden. The second leads to a good-sized formal dining room with a skylight and servery window to the adjoining kitchen. Double French doors open to a small garden area along the side of the home.<br/><br/>The kitchen forms part of the expanded floorplan and boasts ample bench space, under-bench cabinetry, a 5-burner hob, and a dishwasher. A large window behind the sink frames views of the private backyard; a door opens to a sizeable, sheltered deck to allow for relaxed indoor-outdoor living.<br/><br/>The principal suite is arranged at the front of the home and comprises a good-sized bedroom with high ceilings and north-facing windows, a walk-in robe and an ensuite with shower, vanity and WC. Both junior rooms are fitted with built-in robes and boast soft carpet underfoot. A shared family bathroom with shower vanity and WC hides a European laundry at one end of a large linen press. <br/><br/>The centrepiece of the fully fenced backyard is the sheltered outdoor entertaining area, a screeded deck with room for a large table and chairs. A trio of raised garden beds and two garden sheds give those who love to garden the space and infrastructure to pursue their passion. <br/><br/>Gently modernised while retaining its original charm, this delightful home boasts ducted evaporative cooling and a double carport. Kilometres of walking and riding are on offer along the nearby Heritage Trail, local schools and public transport are within easy reach, and the services and amenities of Midland are moments away.<br/><br/>To arrange an inspection of this property, call Cheryl New on 0439 961 192.
