8 Basalt Place

Carine WA 6020

EXPANSIVE FAMILY RETREAT IN GLORIOUS SETTING!Karen Riches is proud to present 8 Basalt Place Carine. Just 100m from Fred Marsh Oval, the adjacent Carine Senior High School and neighbouring Carine Primary School, this pretty-as-a-picture property comes complete with 1033sqm of grounds that look like something Mary Lennox might stumble upon in The Secret Garden.The long driveway ensures privacy from the street and you will feel like you are in a world of your own as you walk under the shadowing Tipuana tree and start to uncover the secret gem of the private gardens and the enchanting accommodation.The lay of the land is flat around the house giving plenty of yard for kids to run around or for playing with your pets with a sparkling elevated saltwater pool and well established gardens framing the home beautifully. Our favourite is the magnificent, tiered retaining wall just off the family room and kitchen that offers an amphitheatre-style space for music, entertaining and more. The house has had the same owner since 1987 and it is now time to downsize and relocate, this could be a great opportunity to acquire a large house and duplex potential landholding (STCA) in a beautiful street surrounded by quality family homes. The floor plan boasts four sizable bedrooms plus a study, two bathrooms, three toilets along with three spacious living zones ideal for those in need of room to move and play.When you step inside the formal entry you will be pleasantly surprised by an unusually large sunken lounge room with cathedral ceilings and exposed character Jarrah beams. Snuggle up here next to the open wood fireplace in Winter, read your favourite book or take some quiet time after a long day at work. Set in the heart of the home, the renovated kitchen is well appointed and includes a stainless-steel top kitchen island, Miele Dishwasher, Westinghouse pyrolytic self-cleaning oven, Miele induction 4-zoned cooktop, rangehood, pantry, appliance nook, appliance cupboard and Caesarstone work area benchtops and splashback. From here, you can overlook the meals area and family room and easily access the adjacent formal dining and lounge rooms, or step out to the large covered alfresco entertaining area where you can sip afternoon cocktails, cook on the barbeque or relax with friends while the kids splash in the pool. This property offers privacy and has everything you need and want in a quiet Carine cul-de-sac. It will be in large demand so be sure to book an inspection.
