Owners have made the most of this sand-coloured rendered house, just metres from the beach, to create a comfortable home for everyone, including the family pet.
Summer months will be spent lazing on the beach or relaxing in one of the many living areas inside and out.
One of these positions is on a decked balcony amid established gardens in the front yard — the perfect position to watch the world go by.
Inside, the open-plan lounge room and dining area are pictures of modernity with a white and latte colour palette, niche walls perfect for wall-mounted televisions and plenty of windows letting in the natural light. But it’s the period-style features that give the rooms character with ceiling rosettes and decorative cornices, and a fireplace with mantel in the lounge room.
Polished floorboards, including jarrah, are a feature throughout.
The French provincial-inspired kitchen has white stone benchtops, white painted wooden cabinetry, dishwasher, and a 900mm Smeg stainless-steel cooker. A butler’s pantry has built-in shelving and bench space, and fridge nook.
Out the back, past storage cupboards and a laundry, is a spacious sunlit living room thoughtfully modernised through use of white paint on the original wooden panelled walls and exposed beams. The main bathroom with an oval spa is also down the hall, and there is a separate toilet.
The main bedroom has built-in wardrobes. Three more bedrooms are upstairs, one with built-in wardrobes, ceiling fan and split-system airconditioning unit and a purple feature wall. Another has a blue feature wall, built-in wardrobes with mirror-faced sliding doors, and ceiling fan.
A third is smaller and could be a good nursery or study. The bedrooms share a bathroom with shower.
The backyard has a sunny north-facing aspect — perfect for vegie gardens — and there is a children’s play area complete with bark-chip surface and cubbyhouse with slide.
Lawn, low-maintenance plantings and a large undercover entertainment area makes it a perfect haven for the whole family.
There’s plenty of space to store cars and other toys with a double garage out back and a single garage at the end of a side driveway.
