Doubleview

Oozes Colonial Character

Why go down south for the weekend to be in a country homestead, when you can live in one every day of your life?
Nestled privately at the rear with its own driveway, security gate and video camera, is a two storey home crafted by an owner who is a quality tradesman. For the lounge room to have a circular feature window from the Old Melbourne Hotel is awesome. The balustrade’s top railing is from a door frame from the Federal Hotel in Fremantle, and the jarrah posts are from a sawmill in Yarloop. As you can begin to imagine, this home oozes character.
However, essentially if you hate a quality wooden finish, forget this home! The Western Red Cedar as well as the use of oregan, jarrah and also the pine ceilings, gives this residence a warm cozy feeling for the winter nights ahead. The lounge room is very spacious, has high pitched timber ceilings and flows to the rear outdoor area.
When entertaining, if you have a large extended family, or just many friends, you will love being able to put a dining table that will easily seat ten people in the dining room. This area also flows out to the sheltered patio and bbq area where your guests can move into, but still have everyone relatively close together. The kitchen is massive and with the open plan of the home it is like living in a farm homestead. Any cook of the day is able to still be fully involved with the family conversations taking place around them.
Also downstairs is a bathroom, and the laundry is absurdly large, having 14 cupboards and a massive amount of bench space. From an energy efficient point of view, the home has reverse cycle air conditioning plus it is very heavily insulated.
Upstairs is the large semi en suite bathroom, which has a deep bath leading from the main bedroom. The other two spacious bedrooms lead onto a teenager’s retreat or activity room. This enables any children to move away from their noisy parents when their parents are entertaining.
The grounds surrounding the home are very low maintenance. There is a double carport with one rolladoor, the owner uses it as a workshop and storage area. It is easy to restore it to its original use, which the owner is happy to do. As there is plenty of car parking space, it has served them well to utilise this area for other purposes. There is even a luscious lemon tree full of fruit.
Anyone wanting to purchase a home such as this will be extremely lucky to find it anywhere else, in the very sought after suburb of Doubleview.
