130 The Strand

Bedford WA 6052

Recross the hall and you'll enter the French Blue primary bedroom with a separate walk-in-robe that awaits your finishing touch. The luxurious ensuite bathroom (just through the century old Baltic Pine French doors with original glass and gunstock joints) has solid marble floors and walls, very large bath, French style fittings and a frameless glass panelled shower. The bedroom, with white plantation shutters that match the formal lounge room, looks large and spacious even with a king size bed taking pride of place.

As you continue your journey to the end of the corridor and you pass through more French doors, allowing you to separate the front and back areas of the home for lower heating and cooling bills and a higher level of privacy for large families, you walk into a beautifully relaxed and spacious casual living / dining / seating area. This area leads to a spacious and delightful kitchen with low-maintenance flooring, a large island bench top, double sinks, subway-tile splashbacks, an appliance nook, a gas cooktop, Westinghouse oven, range hood and a stainless-steel Asko dishwasher for good measure.

When dining, you can move straight from the kitchen to the casual indoor dining area, or step through the wooden sliding doors to dine al fresco under the full-house-width patio. The patio provides cover to the huge paved area that is also shaded by a gorgeous Illawarra Flame Tree, set into a raised lawn area where the children can play while the adults relax in comfort.

If you wanted to retreat inside in winter, the large sitting area has a potbelly gas fuelled stove that keeps everything toasty in the cold months. The sitting area leads off to a further three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have mirrored built-in-robes, all have large windows and jarrah floors, with Oregon pine doors and vintage fittings.

If you walk outside through the mudroom, past the laundry and third toilet, you can cross the patio and walk over the lawn to enter the pool area, where you, family and friends can cool off in the enormous below ground pool. If your friends wanted to stay over for a few days, they could use the studio / workshop that has a kitchenette, separate bathroom and a large sleeping / living area, with a private courtyard with limestone paving, lawns and formal hedging.

If you wanted to walk to the front yard without going through the house, you could walk down one side of the house along the driveway that leads from the Lock Up Garage, underneath the limestone and tiled roof carport, or alternatively walk down the other side of the house over the paving that takes you past the bedrooms and bathroom.

If you exited the property through your secure gates, you are in walking distance to bus stops on Beaufort Street which will take you straight into Perth City. The property is in walking distance to many other locations such: Chisholm Catholic College, John Forrest Secondary College, Hillcrest Primary School, the local Bedford IGA supermarket and the vibrant food, coffee, pub, bar and entertainment precinct that is Beaufort Street around the corner. The Galleria and Coventry Village Shopping Centres, the Embleton and Mount Lawley Golf Courses, community sporting facilities and major arterial roads for easy access to the Swan Valley, Perth Airport and the city are also nearby, adding an overwhelming sense of convenience to this beautiful family home.
