The street appeal of this home extends further than you would imagine. The picket fence and cottage gardens set the scene for what's instore.This well maintained and renovated weatherboard home has many quality character finishes such as Jarrah floorboards, high ceilings and quality window treatments: slim line Venetian blinds; curtains; and timber pelmets.As you enter the property through the gate in the picket fence you will notice the low water use/ low maintenance cottage garden with a mix of bird attracting natives and succulents. Access to the front door can be through the garden on sunny days or from the carport to the veranda to avoid the winter rain. The classic timber door with security screen opens to an inviting hallway that leads to the four generously sized bedrooms and the open plan living areas. The renovated open plan kitchen/dining area will please the home chef with its large gas stove top and oven with rangehood, copious bench top and storage and dishwasher. Adjacent to the kitchen is the office which could be easily converted into a butler's pantry'. Catering for the family or entertaining will be a pleasure.The spacious living area has a very efficient wood combustion fire and the home has wall and ceiling insulation keeping the whole home cosy in winter and cool in summer.The house has a back porch overlooking the lawn area towards the parkland cleared bushland (with many native Christmas trees, Nuytsia floribunda) which backs on to Sounness Park (Demon Downs) giving a very rural feel to this property.The house is set on a very large residential L shaped block (8992m2) with side access to the rear of the property. Plenty of room to build a big workshop or bmx track or even have a horse. It's a great property for children to grow up on and has development potential. Capitalise on the potential to subdivide to create multiple lots and keep one for yourself and sell off the rest.The property has various sheds and a chicken enclosure too. Close to the amenities of town but a rural feeling - isn't that what you are looking for? Whether you want to raise a family or retire here, this property has something for everyone to enjoy.Contact Lynn Heppell on 0428 531 015 for your private inspection.
