An elevated position on a battle-axe lot with a sizeable park-like property at the rear boundary wrap this Chidlow hideaway in peace, privacy, and birdsong. <br/><br/>The front door opens into a south-facing lounge with split system air conditioning and a large window onto surrounding gardens and fruit trees. An open-plan kitchen/family/meals room adjoins the lounge to create a flexible and spacious living zone. A second split system air conditioner and a slow combustion fireplace offer year-round climate control. <br/><br/>The chic, renovated kitchen features a timber topped island with a waterfall edge, an integrated breakfast bar, a 900 mm oven, and a dishwasher. High-gloss white cabinets contrast with warm-toned wood to bring a modern country vibe to this delightful workspace overlooking the home’s central hub.<br/><br/>The main bedroom is a good size and fitted with built-in robes and a ceiling fan. A large window fills this restful space with views of the backyard – a beautiful green space enclosed with a white picket fence. Two junior rooms – one with a ceiling fan and built-in robe – and the main bedroom share the spacious, updated family bathroom.<br/><br/>A walk-through laundry opens onto the second of this property’s wide, inviting verandahs. The gabled outdoor living zone is edged with lawn and garden beds and set against the natural backdrop of the adjoining property. A level terrace at one corner of the backyard creates the ideal framework for an impressive alfresco dining area. <br/><br/>Inside the front gate is a large, two-room shed with high clearance to one side – a great space for working on projects or keeping machinery and materials undercover. A small garden shed offers additional storage space.<br/><br/>The friendly town of Chidlow is home to the much-loved Lake Leschenaultia and numerous walking trails. The local primary school, town centre and pub are all within walking distance. Road links to Mundaring, Midland and the Perth CBD are easily accessed, ensuring you enjoy country living without sacrificing the amenities and services of town. <br/><br/>To arrange an inspection of this property, call Brad Williams – 0408 887 375.
