Those who appreciate a lock-up-and-leave coastal lifestyle will absolutely love just how "low-maintenance" this fantastic 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home actually is, sitting pretty on an elevated block and enjoying private laneway access at the rear - only minutes away from where all of the magic happens at the wonderful Mindarie Marina. Double gates secure a spacious north-facing front yard that is great for both kids and pets. Beyond a timber-lined entry portico with a security door for peace of mind lies a carpeted front lounge room that has double doors and could very well be converted into a fourth bedroom if you need it to be one, later down the track. Indeed, the front master-bedroom suite is large and carpeted for comfort, just like the rest of the bedrooms. It plays host to a walk-in wardrobe and a fully-tiled and renovated ensuite bathroom with a rain shower, a separate shower-hose connection, toilet and vanity. The second bedroom has a built-in robe as well, whilst a light, bright and stylish main family bathroom is where you will find a shower and separate bathtub - all updated for modern living. The open-plan family, dining and kitchen area is beautifully-tiled and has its own split-system air-conditioning unit, as well as a Fisher and Paykel stainless-steel range hood, an electric/ceramic cooktop of the same brand, a Whirlpool oven, stainless-steel Miele dishwasher and a corner pantry for good measure. Off the main living space, a huge pitched rear alfresco-entertaining deck will capture your imagination with its timber-lined cathedral-style high ceiling. It also has a ceiling fan to circulate those sensual sea breezes, as well as a side gate to access the back laneway with. On top of that, it leads into a large remote-controlled double lock-up garage - also accessible via the handy rear lane. Just footsteps separate your front door from the delightful Kin Bay Park around the corner, whilst other sprawling local parklands, glorious northern-suburbs' swimming beaches and so much more along the coastline are no more than only a few minutes away. Public transport aside, other nearby amenities include Mindarie Primary School, Mindarie Senior College, Peter Moyes Anglican Community School, Quinns Baptist College, Ocean Keys Shopping Centre, sublime seaside cafes and restaurants and even freeway convenience.
