It is my great pleasure to present a jewel in the Watermans Bay crown, a unique combination of living in one of Perth's most exclusive Beach suburbs with a sequestered location, giving Tuscany-style villa elegance and solitude.<br/><br/>A rare opportunity for a family to gain a foothold into a thriving suburb, close to schools, shopping centres, parks, restaurants and public transport. Set back from Beach Road, the 40-metre driveway gives exclusive access to the 1990s Tuscan-style townhouse property, complete with olive trees, ensuring privacy and tranquility.<br/><br/>Towel tucked under your arm, pulling the family trolley with buckets, spades, sun screen and boogey boards, the beach is only a five minute walk. Watermans Bay family-style properties only rarely come on the market. This property represents a unique opportunity for a family to put its imprimatur on a home that will be returned to its former glory, with renovations reflecting the style and taste of the new owners.<br/><br/>Structurally, the home built by respected local builder Gary Rokich is sound, withstanding nearly three decades of beachside salinity, only needing a modern refit. While fit to move into from day one of purchase, the unique Italian style two-storey villa, deceptively large for a strata property, with three spacious and light living areas, one upstairs with ocean views, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, would rival any villa in the exclusive beachside suburb with a makeover.<br/><br/>The strata title is free of any encumbrances, with the drive part of the property, with no dual access. The 661sqm block, with a courtyard in front of the house, large double garage set to the side of the house, and larger than expected gardens, although easy to maintain, was chosen for its secure and private location, with such easy beach access to Perth's prettiest bay. The villa is only about six properties away from the beach. <br/><br/>The secluded garden has a large A-framed pergola that can be restored. This area is considerably bigger than most villa properties, there is room for a pool and easy access through a roller door at the back of the garage, in need of maintenance.<br/><br/>The Tuscany villa takes advantage of constant sunlight in the back garden and driveway, spilling over into the spacious, open and versatile living areas on both floors.<br/><br/>The hallway, worthy of a butler opening the door, is fronted by a Romeo and Juliet balcony with a wider than average staircase. The high ceiling sets the tone for spacious living.<br/><br/>The layout can be easily adapted to make the upstairs lounge into a fourth bedroom. But for elegant beachside entertaining the large upstairs lounge is a talking point with ocean views that are unlikely to be built out.<br/><br/>A key feature of the downstairs is a separate wing with adjoining ensuite bathroom and large bedroom, suitable for an elderly relative. The downstairs has a spacious laundry with open plan kitchen and living room. The main room off the hallway, with wooden and glass double doors, can be used as dining room, study, library or family entertainment areas.<br/><br/>The house has ample storage areas, a separate multi-purpose room in the double-garage, and a large walk in wardrobe in the master bedroom which would house the shoe collection of Imelda Marcos. There is also ducted air conditioning in all the rooms but is in need of maintenance and there is a satellite dish for Foxtel.<br/><br/>The driveway, which is easily maintained, gives the house a detached air of privacy and seclusion. The outdoor courtyard is not visible from the street.<br/><br/>Such a large and spacious property for a strata seldom comes on the market, particularly in such a desirable location. Watermans Bay, the smallest coastal suburb in Perth, has hardly a handful of properties listed at one time. The Watermans Bay side of Beach Road overlooking the bay has become multi-millionaires row, with West Coast Drive properties overshadowing parts of the Western suburbs.<br/><br/>This is a unique opportunity to take into account renovations to outshine any villa on the coastal strip, to be part of the very special Watermans Bay lifestyle. Keen interest is expected in this property so close to the ocean and in such a sought after suburb. It really does personify the vibrant beach lifestyle that so many Perth families (and more) aspire to.<br/><br/>Water Rates $1512<br/>Council Rates $2342<br/>No strata fees<br/><br/>Disclaimer: <br/>This information is provided for general information purposes only and is based on information provided by the Seller and may be subject to change.
