Ask yourself this question. Where can you buy an architecturally designed, 2 storey family home less than 600m from the pristine, calm waters of Geographe Bay at an asking price of less than $800,000? Throw in 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kid's activity, parents retreat, huge outdoor timber deck and a gourmet kitchen. The answer is 19 Sherwood Crescent in the increasingly popular family estate of Abbey Waters. Built by local boutique builders Jarra, this large family home has an extremely functional floor plan and has been thoughtfully designed by award winning architect Rebecca Richards to provide not only inclusive living spaces, but also areas that you or your extended family can retreat to in those busy times. The expansive open plan kitchen, living and dining space really underpins the sociability of the is home and creates a hub for all to enjoy, with load of space to move. The distinctly defined areas provide enough separation for the family activities, while maintaining a sense of openness and light. Your year-round comfort is assured with a split system RC/AC in this area, with gas heating also an option. Your gourmet kitchen is certainly a key focal point of this home, and you will be spoilt with features such as Corian bench tops, an abundance of soft close drawers, butler's pantry, large breakfast bar, double fridge recess and 900 mm Smeg oven and cooktop. Just around the corner lies an expansive natural edge, Marri study nook for working from home, or kid's homework space all while remaining close to the action. The three minor bedrooms are spread throughout the ground floor with the first being located at the front of the home and adjacent to the double door entry. The position of this large room makes it ideal for a home office with ability to receive clients in privacy, or a guest bedroom just that little bit more removed from the rest of the family. Large built-in robe and ceiling fans are key features. The remaining two minor bedrooms are generous in size and feature built in robes and both also have ceiling fans. Complementing these two bedrooms is an adjoining, versatile activity room serviced by a glass, cavity sliding door to provide separation from the living and sleeping zones as required. To the upstairs, a true parents retreat has been created with a sitting/TV room at the top of the stairs and directly linking to the Master bedroom. The master suite has views overlooking the adjacent nature reserve and also includes a split system RC/AC and ceiling fan. The fashion conscious will be impressed by an expansive dressing room with well-appointed, built in make-up station. At the end of a busy day, the combination of sitting room, master suite and ensuite with a luxury double rain shower is the perfect space for parents to unwind and unpack the day together, listening to the soft waves of Geographe Bay in the northerly breeze. For those buyers that enjoy outdoor living in our fantastic climate, the north facing alfresco entertaining area is comfortable and stylish. With polished merbau timber decking and the Hamptons style weatherboard cladding, this space can be enjoyed most of the year with its roll down, all weather café blinds, a great feature. The light coloured timber panelled, gabled ceiling gives height to this area and fully invites the northern light. Many a hot summer night has been spent enjoying family time here and this will no doubt continue. The back yard is completed with easy to care for finishes including limestone paving, a small patch of grass ideal for the pooch, well contained garden beds and step stone pavers. There really is nothing for you to do but sit back, relax and enjoy the lush growth in this fully reticulated, well-established back garden.
