**OPEN BY APPOINTMENT AT ANYTIME, PLEASE CALL CLIFF BOWKER ON 0412 233 072 TO ARRANGE YOUR PRIVATE VIEWING** Nestled on a commanding 765sqm (approx.) block in the serenity of a whisper-quiet cul-de-sac location that is also just footsteps away from picturesque lakeside parkland and only a 500m walk (approx.) to the river, this charming 5 bedroom 2 bathroom family home will warm everyone's heart and even allows you to add your own modern personal touches throughout. Reserved for special occasions are carpeted formal lounge and dining rooms that sit right next to each other and welcome you inside just off the double-door entrance. Beautifully tiled, the open-plan family and meals area with its classic pot belly wood fireplace, that is connected to the well-appointed and well-laid out kitchen with its recently upgraded stainless steel wall oven and microwave stack, that ensures no more bending down to retrieve that hot roast dinner from the oven, cleverly placed next to the pantry and fridge recess for easy access. All this overlooks the outdoor entertaining area for those lavish dinner parties and family gatherings. All bedrooms are carpeted for complete comfort – as is the front study, also boasting a built-in desk for more than one family member to work in peace and quiet at the same time. The obvious pick of the sleeping quarters is a larger master suite with its walk-in wardrobe and a private ensuite bathroom complete with bath, separate shower, toilet and vanity. The main living space where most of your casual time will be spent seamlessly extends outdoors to a fantastic paved patio for tranquil covered entertaining, wrapping around to a private backyard. In terms of parking, a secure double garage is complemented by ample driveway space along with an additional carpark behind secure lockable gates (for a third car, boat, caravan or trailer) with further drive-through access into a lock-up workshop shed at the rear – ideal for a fourth car, the budding tradesman of the house or for that special toy or mancave. A short stroll to food and shopping at Waterford Plaza, Curtin University and Collier Park Golf Course is complemented by a very close proximity to sporting fields, top schools, public transport, the freeway, the city, the river and much more. You will absolutely love living here!
