High gates open to the landscaped garden and paved driveway of this impressive family home. Echoes of Italy ring out as you step past clipped lavender and box, across the front verandah and into the formal entry with large decorative tiles. A carpeted staircase with timber balustrade leads to the privacy of the expansive bedroom floor, while an arched doorway on either side opens to a formal lounge and dining room.

In the formal lounge, an impressive chandelier ensures a sense of occasion and emphasises the high ceiling, while the dining room has ample space for a large table and direct access to the sizeable central kitchen. The kitchen is a cook’s paradise with a walk-in pantry, a large full-height storage cupboard, an electric wall oven, and an induction cooktop. Ample overhead and under bench cabinets finished in fresh, neutral cream provide plenty of storage and a stretch of benchtop that extends to a servery and ends in an integrated breakfast bar, fashions a practical family hub. A large casual meals area adjoins the kitchen, and this space, in turn, leads out to the paved alfresco entertaining area set under a gable roof.

A laundry/mudroom with a separate shower and a separate WC sits at one end of the meals area. Next to this is a multipurpose space, ideal as a guest room, media room, or home office.

On the first floor, a spacious landing with reverse cycle split system air conditioning and a balcony at either end leads to four large, high-ceilinged bedrooms, two with built-in robes, and a huge family bathroom with a separate WC. The main bedroom and one junior sit at the front of the plan, and both have direct access to the balcony; the main bedroom is large enough to accommodate a freestanding wardrobe and sitting area comfortably. The two additional junior bedrooms are spacious with high ceilings – one being queen-sized. A large multipurpose room – ideal as a playroom, teens’ retreat, or media room completes the first-floor layout.

Brick paving extends from the rear of the home to create a large outdoor living and entertaining zone. A built-in barbeque sits at one end of this north-facing space, overlooking a central lawn edged with reticulated garden beds and steps leading to a huge, productive olive tree. Paving extends from the alfresco entertaining area to the east of the home, where two large citrus trees suggest a shady Italian piazza. There is also a half tennis court/basketball zone, for the kids.

The property, set behind a high gated fence and reticulated gardens, boasts undercover parking for four cars. One of the two garages allows access to the backyard, with ample space for kids and pets to play and space to establish vegetable gardens. Steps from bus stops, minutes from John Forrest National Park, within easy reach of Midland and beyond, this foothills property puts the best of town and country living on the doorstep. It is an excellent prospect for a large or extended family.
