Generations of Happy Memories

AUCTION SATURDAY 19TH NOVEMBER 11AM ON-SITE (unless sold prior) <br/><br/>They don't make them like this anymore!<br/><br/>This warm and inviting family residence is brimming with comfort, incredible attention to detail and generations of happy memories.<br/><br/>Built 43 years ago by the current owner, in an era that espoused superior building standards, the double-storey, architect-designed home occupies an enormous 1,012sqm landholding. It features a rendered brick and tile facade, with a private front fence and a welcoming entry with decorative wrought-iron gates. <br/><br/>There's no shortage of space for growing families with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and multiple living areas. There's also a spacious home office with built-in wall-to-wall library cabinetry, and vast amounts of storage inside and out. <br/><br/>Features you'll fall in love with include extra high ceilings, designer lighting (including a stunning Murano glass pendant in the living area), jarrah window frames, jarrah veneer doors and cabinetry, beautiful travertine stone flooring throughout the lower level and a wide gallery hallway in the upper-level accommodation wing.<br/><br/>You'll find yourself marvelling at the forward-thinking that went into the home's design. Inclusions such as a laundry chute to keep piles of clothes at bay, a family bathroom cleverly designed to make school mornings a breeze, and a basement wine cellar accessed from the walk-in pantry floor promise the ease of living you've only dreamed about - until now!<br/><br/>In the spacious front family room, the built-in wood fireplace with a unique mesh grille will be a crowd-pleaser during the chilly months. There's also a double-sided storage cupboard for your firewood - stack it in the garage and stoke the fire from the other side. Windows on both sides of the room facilitate warm winter sunshine and a picturesque view over the front and rear gardens.<br/><br/>Down the hallway, the generous formal dining room has French timber doors on each side. It will make an ideal second living area/games room in line with contemporary family living, so all ages and stages are catered for. The beautifully appointed kitchen is the heart and soul of the home, a gathering space for family and friends where you'll be impressed by Caesarstone benches, European appliances, ample storage and a breakfast bar with a built-in bar fridge. The spacious dining area adjacent will play host to many a noisy dinner party, easily able to accommodate a ten or 12-place dining table.<br/><br/>Upstairs, each spacious bedroom has built-in robes with a dressing table, pure wool carpets and reverse-cycle air conditioning units. Bedroom five, at the rear, has a private balcony overlooking the lovely rear gardens. The street-facing main suite enjoys a leafy view from its balcony, a large customised walk-in robe and an elegant private ensuite. Here, you'll find a marble vanity with twin basins and mirrored cabinets, a bath, shower, separate WC and a linen press.<br/><br/>The fully reticulated rear gardens are a feast for the senses - and the kitchen table! Boasting an organic veggie garden, a swathe of mature fruit trees, a vast expanse of lawn (able to accommodate a pool or a marquee), and a paved alfresco with a built-in BBQ, this north-facing wonderland will be the setting for endless memory-making. Backyard cricket, trampolining and chasey will provide much-needed breaks from screen time as you reminisce about your own outdoorsy childhood.<br/><br/>This fantastic riverside home is a scenic stroll to Bishop Road Reserve and the Swan River, Waratah Village, and Dalkeith Primary School.
