Lovers of character will delight in this simply gorgeous home. Lovingly extended over the years to allow plenty of space for a family, it will appeal to couples, romantics and families alike.

Set well back from the street to ensure privacy, the residence has been cleverly designed to take advantage of the elevated aspect which affords panoramic views from nearly every aspect of the property. A granite staircase leads to the front verandah of the home, which is accented by pretty wisteria and cottage plantings. Enter the home to a bright entrance foyer which leads directly into a spacious formal lounge with a spectacular feature stone fireplace which has been fitted with a Jotul slow combustion wood stove. Gleaming Wandoo flooring, high ceilings with ornate cornicing and a pretty ceiling rose feature here and a large picture window provides a pretty outlook over the private rear gardens.

To the left of the entrance is the dining room and a well laid out kitchen. Washing dishes here will never be a chore courtesy of the lovely valley views on offer from the kitchen window. Unique stone flooring features in this part of the home and it is carried through to the adjacent family room which has sliding door access to the rear yard.

The master suite is located to the right of the entrance. It has a bank of mirrored robes and shares the use of the large character bathroom semi-ensuite with an office which would also be perfect as a nursery or as a 4th bedroom for a younger child. The remaining bedrooms are located downstairs and accessed via a solid Jarrah staircase. They are both of a good size and remain beautifully cool in summer due to the solid construction of the residence. These bedrooms share the use of a shower with separate toilet. There is direct access to the front of the home from this level and the study nook could easily be converted to a small kitchenette to make a self-contained downstairs retreat if desired.

A unique feature of the home is the large atrium area which is adjacent to the lounge room. One can just imagine relaxing in the heated spa, glass of wine in hand, whilst water gently cascades down the rock feature wall...now this is living!!

The rear garden of the home is low maintenance and has plenty of room for a pool. Here you will find a raised veggie garden and stone feature retaining walls and pathways . A small viewing area is the perfect spot from which to watch the sun set over the city or simply to enjoy the twinkling lights of Perth and the coastal plain. For those that prefer a valley view, the delightful rotunda in the restorative front garden is the place to be. A lovely tiered pond and waterfall next to the rotunda provide soothing background noise as you sit, relax and enjoy the view which stretches as far as the eye can see.

With so many other features on offer such as solar PV system, carport and evaporative and split system air conditioning, just to name a few, "Magical Cottage, Magical Views" must be seen to be fully appreciated. For more information or to arrange to view please call
