Neat, tidy and perfectly comfortable as it stands, this inviting 3 bedroom 1 bathroom home comes with one seriously over-sized ace up its sleeve - a massive backyard where possibility is the real luxury. There's room to dream, design and do things your way, whether that means adding a future swimming pool, workshop, studio or even a "granny flat", subject to the necessary approvals, while further renovations and extensions could take the existing residence to an entirely new level. A huge full-width outdoor patio-entertaining area at the rear is pleasantly elevated and dominated by quality concrete aggregate, with sweeping tree-lined views and a delightful melody of birdsong also on the cards. There is ample room for the kids and pets to play within the sunken yard, where two separate garden sheds can also be found.Inside, a spacious front living room can easily fit a study desk to one side and is kept both cool and cosy by a split-system air-conditioning unit. It flows into a large open-plan dining and kitchen area with a ceiling fan, a gas bayonet for heating, direct alfresco access, a breakfast bar, a Hoover dishwasher and stainless-steel range-hood and Smeg four-burner gas-cooktop/oven appliances.The separate sleeping quarters are made up of a large master bedroom with full-height triple-mirrored-sliding-door built-in wardrobes, a front second bedroom and a back third bedroom that overlooks the garden. The stylishly-updated bathroom plays host to a generous shower, a powder vanity, under-bench storage and heat lamps.The toilet is separate from the laundry - with the latter also enjoying external (and dog/pet-door) access to the back patio. Completing things is a generous amount of driveway parking space on either side of double access gates that allow you to drive vehicles directly through to the yard.This convenient location means you can stroll leisurely to bus stops, the Craigie Early Learning Centre, the Craigie Tavern, the Craigie Plaza Shopping Centre, the Craigie Medical & Dental Centre, lush green Warrandyte Park playing fields and sprawling Craigie Open Space, whilst nearby schools in the area include Craigie Heights Primary School, Whitford Catholic Primary School and Belridge Secondary College. More parks, local reserves and the Craigie Leisure Centre are also in close proximity, along with the Belridge, Westfield Whitford City and Lakeside Joondalup Shopping Centres, the freeway, the Whitfords and Edgewater Train Stations, beautiful Mullaloo Beach, picturesque Lake Joondalup, the exciting Ocean Reef Boat Harbour redevelopment, coastal cafes and restaurants, Hillarys Marina and even the popular Hillarys Beach Club at Pinnaroo Point. Move straight in, make a few moves now or save the grand plans for later, the beauty here is having the space to choose. The house is ready, the yard is waiting and the opportunity is anything but small - big ideas, meet your blank canvas!
