38 Franklin Road

A Majestic Expanse Like No Other! Supreme spaciousness awaits you in the form of this stunning corner block of 4.8 acres sprawling acres, playing host to a gorgeous 4 bedroom 3 bathroom family home that sits just footsteps away from the picturesque Jandabup Lake and only minutes to the heart of the Wanneroo town centre, presenting a rare canvas for a dream country-like lifestyle with city-style convenience. A spectacular tree-lined vista from almost every angle is complemented by manicured lawns, lush gardens, ample parking space for cars, trucks and trailers, a circular driveway right in front of the house and a massive 15m x 9m (approx.) "tradesman's dream" of a workshop shed with three-phase power, heaps of bench space and a huge adjacent 12m x 9m (approx.) lean-to for either four cars or two tractors to park underneath. There are also two double lock-up garages for good measure and a playground, sandpit and adventure cubby house for the kids, but the piece de resistance is an awe-inspiring outdoor setting where a fully-fenced and heated below-ground swimming pool with exotic resort-style surrounding rock features – and spa jets – provides a sensational backdrop to entertaining under a gazebo with decking, a generous dome patio off the family room and an over-sized second alfresco-style patio with its own bar, double sinks. All Just waiting for you. Internally, a flexible and functional floor plan means you can set the living zones up any which way you like, with a large sunken home-office area doubling as a lounge room with skylights, high angled ceilings and a burning corner wood fireplace, splendidly overlooked by a games-come-activity room for the children that leads through to the renovated kitchen. There, an impressive chef's workspace forms part of an open-plan meals and formal-dining area that is light, bright, directly accesses the rear verandah and complements sparkling Caesar Stone bench tops, stylish light fittings, high ceilings, pool and treetop views, charming Hamptons-style cabinetry, double sinks, tiled splashbacks, a step-in pantry, a custom Ilve six-burner gas cooktop/oven, an integrated range hood and a stainless-steel Bosch dishwasher. The expansive family room with its character stone floors is where most of your casual time will be spent and features high ceilings, modern lighting and a split-system air-conditioning unit – for all seasons' comfort – of its own, before extending into a handy "third" bathroom that is ideal for pool use with its shower, toilet, powder area and external access. The front master-bedroom suite is privately nestled away from the minor sleeping quarters and boasts a ceiling fan, built-in drawers, a dressing room with built-in wardrobes and a separate fully-tiled ensuite bathroom with a shower, toilet, vanity and heat lamps. Close to shopping and both public and private schools (including Wanneroo Secondary College) at neighbouring Wanneroo, public transport, the freeway, the Joondalup CBD, the coast, beautiful Franklin Park, Lake Joondalup and major arterial roads that guide you towards our famous Swan Valley, this sublime residence actually isn't too far away from anything at all.
