Privacy, space and freedom cloak this impressive Benlin home. A circular driveway and a natural landscape screen the home from the road and create a sense of occasion as you arrive at the north-facing verandah edged with white iceberg roses. The front door opens into a tiled entry with a formal lounge and dining room on one side and a casual open plan kitchen meals and family room on the other.
In the lounge/dining zone, jarrah floorboards bring a sense of polished formality while the tiled floor in the open-plan area creates a relaxed and casual vibe. A pitched roof and exposed beams underline the exuberance and family-friendly attitude of the family room and, along with the slow combustion fire and seamless movement to the gabled alfresco entertaining area, ensure this central living zone is at the heart of daily life and family memory-making. A mix of ducted reverse cycle, plus split system air conditioning and overhead fans bring year-round comfort across the home.
Cream cabinets and a walk-in pantry offer ample storage in the kitchen, a well-appointed practical space with stone-look benchtops, a 900 mm oven with a 5-burner hob and an integrated dishwasher. A window behind the sink looks across the south-facing rear verandah and pool, and a sliding door connects the meals area to the paved alfresco entertaining area.
Shared living spaces sit at the heart of this family-focused design, with the principal suite offering parents the option of creating a retreat that incorporates the formal living zones. The main bedroom boasts ample built-in storage, a wall of fitted robes, and a generous walk-through robe leading to a fully tiled ensuite with a shower, a vanity, and a separate WC.
The junior wing comprises two bedrooms with polished jarrah floors, ceiling fans and built-in robes, a family bathroom and a walk-through laundry with a separate WC. A third junior bedroom is arranged off the family room, making this an ideal nursery or home office.
Surrounded by well-loved, bore-fed reticulated gardens and fruit trees, the property extends to two hectares with a powered workshop and garden shed, a woodshed and machinery shelter and a drive-through shed. The bore and two rainwater tanks bring a degree of self-sufficiency, as do the chicken run and a raised vegetable bed. With seemingly endless space for adventurous play and exploration, a sheltered alfresco entertaining area, a rose-strew arbor and long verandahs front and back, this home is designed for an indoor-outdoor lifestyle
