What we loveIs the opportunity to live in stunning South Scarborough seclusion - and directly opposite the sprawling Colin Ventnor Reserve and its fantastic children's playground. Far more spacious than most properties of its type, this solid 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom brick-and-tile home is tranquilly tucked away and out of street's sight, beautifully renovated internally as well. The front lounge room is huge and keeps you comfortable all year round with cooling air-conditioning and a gas bayonet for winter heating. Engineered timber floorboards link the latter to an adjacent dining area that is splendidly overlooked by a stylish retro-tiled kitchen, impressively updated over time with quality Corian bench tops, a breakfast bar for casual meals, a water-filter tap, an integrated range hood, a Chef gas cooktop and double ovens.The dining space also reveals sliding-door access out to a paved rear courtyard - the perfect place to entertain amidst a leafy garden setting. Being only walking distance away from beautiful Brighton Beach and the start of The Esplanade that stretches along the new-look Scarborough foreshore is simply an added bonus, here. It's the perfect coastal lifestyle. What to knowThe walls and ceilings have been freshly painted, whilst a sleek white bathroom has been revamped to include a shower, separate bathtub, a stone vanity, heat lamps and white plantation window shutters. It also affords you semi-ensuite access from the carpeted master bedroom, where built-in wardrobes are complemented by a split-system air-conditioning unit. Both spare bedrooms are carpeted too, inclusive of a large second bedroom with built-in double robes. The third bedroom can easily be converted into a study if need be, whilst the retro floor tiling in the laundry seamlessly links with the kitchen and is accompanied by a double linen press - as well as an access door to the back garden and paved corner drying courtyard.Extras include solar-power panels, stylish light fittings, wooden feature skirting boards, security doors, a gas hot-water system, manually-reticulated gardens, a remote-controlled single lock-up carport with raked cathedral-style ceilings, a tandem second car bay in front and a large storeroom out back. Footsteps away are bus stops and more lovely local parks - including the sprawling Butlers Reserve around the corner. Hale School, Newman College and Churchlands Senior High School (catchment zone) are also nearby, as are City Beach, Scarborough Primary School, cafes, restaurants, Westfield Innaloo Shopping Centre, St Mary's Anglican Girls' School and the newly-redeveloped Karrinyup Shopping Centre.
