Tiled stairs lead up to the main residence and its spacious wrap-around verandah, where established gardens create a welcoming sense of arrival and privacy. Inside, an open-plan living and dining area features warm jarrah floors, soft lighting, bi fold doors and a well-placed corner window that overlooks both the swimming pool and the city skyline. Both elegant and charming – imagine enjoying evening meals as the distant lights gradually come to life at dusk whether cosy inside the loungeroom or if entertaining on the wrap around balcony.
The galley kitchen will call to those who love to cook and entertain, featuring two ovens, a 900mm gas cooktop and a dishwasher. Hi-gloss cabinetry creates a sense of visual calm and maximises efficiency, while an extended breakfast bar serves as the natural gathering spot for morning coffee, homework, and casual meals. Next to the kitchen lies a walk-through scullery with direct access to the balcony. This versatile room functions as a staging and prep area for parties and as extra space for daily family life, capable of housing a full-sized fridge and chest freezer. Built-in storage keeps small appliances neatly tucked away but within easy reach.
A central hallway connects the living area to two large secondary bedrooms, each with jarrah floors and built-in robes and both served by a modern sleek fully tiled family bathroom with an over-tub shower. The main bedroom, towards the rear of the plan is a spacious delight featuring a huge walk-in robe and offers a peaceful retreat, its corner window filtering soft light through established greenery, complemented by a stylish ensuite with shower, vanity, and WC.
The ground-floor apartment features a different layout: a generous queen-sized bedroom, a separate lounge, an on-trend bathroom, a kitchenette and walk-in robe, arranged to maximise independence and practicality. This lower-level apartment can be accessed through an external private door or alternatively via an internal staircase that leads past a fully functional utility room with separate WC. Separation or connectivity – the choice is yours.
The purpose-built ‘Collier Homes’ unit offers surprisingly spacious proportions. The queen-sized bedroom is spacious with a wall of built in storage, leading to an L-shaped versatile living zone warmed by soft shades of timber flooring and featuring a reverse cycle split system. The sleek, modern kitchen features a large waterfall island bench with under bench storage and modern stainless-steel appliances. Natural light floods the interior, which opens to private paved outdoor living and a lovely decked area fostering a true sense of independence. Modern finishes throughout ensure immediate comfort, whether accommodating older parents or returning adult children.
Set well back from the street on a battle-axe block, the property enjoys a wonderful atmosphere of seclusion and charm. The half-acre grounds feature established gardens that soften boundaries and create private outdoor spaces for each residence. The layout balances privacy and independence with opportunities for connection: the resort style sparkling pool, cabana and expansive deck extending from the primary residence become natural gathering spots for shared meals, celebrations, or relaxed afternoon swims.
This setup caters to real-life situations: elderly parents moving from family homes who want to stay close without losing independence; young adults gaining independence while keeping family support nearby; guests staying for long periods; or earning extra income through rental options. The separate units keep everyone’s privacy intact, letting each household follow its own routine.
Practical features improve functionality throughout: ducted cooling in the main house and split systems in each flat. A gated entry provides security, while a two-car undercroft garage and a workshop offer protected parking and storage. The cellar offers ideal conditions for wine enthusiasts or for extra storage. A small shed and chook yard complete this amazing space.
An elevated position, lush gardens and a considered layout combine to create a property designed for the fluid, complex arrangements that define contemporary family life. Just as the property feels removed from suburban density while remaining connected to the city, the multi-generational layout allows family members their own space and autonomy while staying meaningfully close. It’s a thoughtful response to how people want to live, recognising that the best relationships often require both proximity and breathing room.
