Privately positioned along whisper-quiet Leighton Lane at the rear with virtually no through traffic, this hidden 4 bedroom 2 bathroom two-storey haven delivers a rare sense of peace, style and security from the moment you arrive. Tucked safely amongst quality neighbouring homes and set well back from the main street, it offers a reassuring low-maintenance “lock-up-and-leave” lifestyle where tranquillity and seclusion take centre stage. Beyond its unassuming access lies a surprisingly-spacious residence with an elevated outlook – a true sanctuary that feels worlds away, yet remains wonderfully connected in a fabulous suburb to live in. Downstairs and beyond a lovely gated entry courtyard deck with a gorgeous Koi pond lies a flowing and functional open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that leads directly out to a delightful side deck and a fantastic north-facing alfresco-entertaining deck out back, featuring a pitched ceiling, stylish lighting and a gate to the drying courtyard. A separate side gate reveals access out to Wilding Street too.
Back inside, the contemporary kitchen itself oozes class in the form of sleek Corian bench tops, a breakfast bar with feature pendant lights, a new split-system air-conditioning unit, a walk-in pantry, double sinks, a stainless-steel four-burner Fisher and Paykel gas cooktop, a new Westinghouse oven and an Asko dishwasher. The living space also has a gas bayonet for winter heating, with an under-stair storeroom nestled right by the entrance.
The separate minor sleeping quarters play host to a large walk-in full-height double-sliding-door linen cupboard, a powder room, two large carpeted queen-size spare bedrooms with ceiling fans and mirrored built-in wardrobes, a practical main family bathroom with a shower and separate bathtub and a separate laundry with over-head and under-bench storage cupboards, internal hanging space and drying-courtyard access.
Upstairs, a huge second lounge room – or potential relaxing parents’ retreat – has its own gas bayonet, alongside a generous roof/attic storage area with so much space for those personal belongings you want out of sight, but not necessarily out of mind. A spacious under-cover balcony off here provides another entertaining zone with a spectacular sunrise backdrop, as well as breathtaking city (and Australia Day fireworks) views and a sweeping vista to the rolling Perth hills in the distance.
A flexible fourth bedroom – or home office – also works well as a nursery, with a ceiling fan complementing its decent proportions. The carpeted master suite is massive in size and enjoys its own balcony access, a slice of the awe-inspiring city-skyline aspect, split-system air-conditioning, a ceiling fan/light, a large walk-in dressing room with a skylight, access to a separate two-way powder room and a commodious ensuite – complete with ample natural light, a shower, twin his and hers vanity basins, under-bench storage and heat lamps. Completing the package back at ground level is a secure extra-large remote-controlled double lock-up garage with higher-than-average ceilings, a side workshop area and internal shopper’s entry. Access into the garage is via the laneway.
Hop, skip or jump to food and coffee on both Scarborough Beach Road and Sackville Terrace nearby – including The Corner Dairy and Little Sisto. Bus stops, the new free Surf CAT, lush local parks, St Dominic’s Primary School, the International School of WA, beautiful Scarborough Beach and the amazing Karrinyup Shopping Centre precinct are just minutes away in their own right, with the freeway, Stirling Train Station, more shopping at local IGA supermarkets, Centuria Gwelup and Westfield Innaloo, Churchlands Senior High School, Hale School, Newman College and St Mary’s Anglican Girls’ School all within a very, very close proximity indeed!
