Nestled within the embrace of two picturesque parks - including the lovely nature strip of Carnarvon Koorda Reserve across the road, this charming 4 bedroom 4 bathroom home offers a serene sanctuary in a coveted central location and embodies the perfect balance of comfort, convenience and timeless appeal. Double doors reveal a welcoming formal-dining room that is indeed reserved for those special occasions. A central kitchen off here has been cleverly renovated over time to include low-maintenance flooring, extra storage, a stainless-steel range hood, a gas cooktop, a Chef Classic electric oven/grill, a sleek white Bosch dishwasher and a breakfast bar for quick bites. Beyond a gorgeous French door, the open-plan family and casual-meals area can be found - itself playing host to easy-care floors, split-system air-conditioning for all-seasons' comfort and sliding-stacker doors that seamlessly extend out to a fabulous alfresco-entertaining deck that features electric blinds for full enclosure and protection from the elements, a ceiling fan and a shade-sail extension, just in case additional outdoor space is required. The latter overlooks a separate paved courtyard, backyard lawn for the kids and pets to run around on and a shimmering below-ground salt-water swimming pool that defines summer relaxation. The pool is neighboured by a shade sail to sit and unwind under, whilst a huge powered lock-up workshop shed is every tradesperson's dream. As a bonus, your own private double rear gates afford access to the leafy Elstree Mardella Koorda Reserve that has a laneway for vehicular access if you wish to park your boat, caravan or trailer out of sight - and out of mind. Back inside, a versatile utility, library, activity or play room downstairs can be whatever you want it to be and has its own skylight and access to a powder room. It connects to a spacious and carpeted master-bedroom suite with a ceiling fan, split-system air-conditioning, an over-sized walk-in wardrobe, a modern ensuite bathroom (with a walk-in shower, vanity, under-bench storage and heat lamps) and access out to a pleasant �parents' retreat� of a deck, looking over the sprawling yard. A large second bedroom enjoys split-system air-conditioning, storage and the potential to be converted into either a nursery or study, whilst the spacious third bedroom has its own ceiling fan, ample built-in robe/storage space and a built-in desk in the corner. Both bedrooms share a connecting door, with a practical main family bathroom brilliant in its simplicity and comprising of a shower, separate bathtub and heat lamps. Also on the ground level sits a functional laundry with heaps of storage and access to both the yard and a third bathroom - complete with a shower, toilet and vanity basin. Upstairs, a commodious fourth bedroom-come-retreat doubles as the ideal �guest� suite and is carpeted under foot, boasting split-system air-conditioning, an ensuite/fourth bathroom (with a shower, toilet and vanity) and access out to a wonderful Juliet balcony with gorgeous tree-lined views of the back park, as well as the pool down below. Nothing is too far away from your front doorstep here, with other attractive local parks (including the majestic Yokine Regional Open Space), bus stops, Coolbinia Primary School, community sporting facilities and the Flinders Square and Dog Swamp Shopping Centres all only walking distance away. The likes of premium golf courses, other top schools (including Mount Lawley Senior High School) and public-transport options, cafes, restaurants, the surrounding entertainment precincts of Mount Lawley, North Perth, Mount Hawthorn, Leederville and Northbridge, the city, the freeway and even our pristine Western Australian coastline are also nearby and merely add to the central convenience of this unique abode.
