5 Bamford Place, Balcatta

Kristian Novatsis Presents....PARKSIDE TRANQUILLITY

Treat your family to a home and location they will love, nestled in a tranquil Balcatta street that sits opposite a delightful local park, a children’s playground and is within footsteps of the sprawling Grindleford Reserve.

The residence’s original character is still very much intact, from its skirting boards to soaring high architecturally-inspired ceilings (in the main living space) and charming slate flooring that graces the entrance, the open-plan family/meals/kitchen area and a front study that is well positioned to benefit from splendid parkland views while you work in privacy. A beautiful master bedroom suite with a walk-in wardrobe and its own ensuite bathroom – with a shower and toilet – also enjoys a picturesque tree-lined backdrop from its window, as does a sunken carpeted lounge that is reserved for those special occasions and is overlooked by the formal dining room.

Warmed by a corner pot-belly wood fire heater, the central part of the house doubles as a fantastic meeting place for all family members, offering a wonderful separation between the living zones and minor sleeping quarters, timeless kitchen brickwork and outdoor access to a sunken side alfresco/patio that is also linked to a huge sunken games room and possesses entertaining options aplenty, including a built-in barbecue off the mains gas connection, overlooked by a pleasant garden pergola.

Off the laundry lies a hidden second alfresco for either further entertaining, quiet contemplation or as some much-need protection from the elements while you are having a rest from planting or tidying up the reticulated “veggie” patch. The remote-controlled double garage is extra-large in size and comfortably caters for the family cars, whilst there is ample driveway parking out front, with a handy second driveway affording double-gate access for a boat, trailer or even a caravan to store itself securely within the property’s perimeter.

With the hard work already done by the current owners over the years, there is absolutely nothing else left for you to do here, other than to simply bring your belongings and move straight on in, indulging in a very close proximity to shopping at Northlands Plaza, excellent educational facilities at Balcatta Primary School, West Balcatta Primary School and Balcatta Senior High School, public transport (including Stirling Train Station), cafes, restaurants, the freeway, city, beaches and everything else in between. The potential is there, now it’s up to you to make it happen!
