A big home, big block, city views from beautiful Balcatta location

With a whopping five bedrooms and two bathrooms and an easy stroll to the school and shopping centre, this double-storey brick and tile house on a sprawling 708sqm of land, has cosy family home written all over it.

It's big enough for everyone: the parents who need a study or a retreat, the pets who need a little roaming room and the kids who need their own bedroom. It goes without saying that everyone will love the generous resort-style pool and outdoor entertaining area. An added attraction is views to Perth city which is just a 12-minute drive to Perth's best foreshore at Scarborough Beach and just 18 minutes to the city for an easy commute.

This home was built in the '70s when rooms were generous sizes, ceilings were high, rooms were light and airy, and designers understood that family homes need lots of storage space.

Four of the bedrooms are upstairs. The master has easy care timber floors waiting for the perfect rug, an entire wall of storage and double doors to the balcony for Sunday breakfasts on the porch.

The upstairs bathroom has a good deep tub, and a wide carpeted staircase connects top floor to bottom.

The downstairs has the main living areas. The laundry and bathroom combination is a generous size and features a separate toilet. The kitchen has a dishwasher and stainless steel wall ovens and is neatly separated from the open plan dining and living area by a high bench.

A skylight injects the living area with loads of natural light and sliding doors give easy access to the big covered and paved outdoor entertaining area. The pool area is up a few steps and fully fenced with decorative paving and lush garden continuing from the lower level to create a sense of flow to this poolside oasis area.

This home is in near original condition and been very well maintained. It's the perfect buy for the savvy investor and it will make the hearts of eager renovators sing because of its extraordinary potential which will be revealed with the simplest of makeovers.

This home is a great opportunity to buy in to a very desirable suburb with a large home on a big block featuring outstanding outdoor living spaces and it won't be on the market for long. Get in quickly because the market is hot.
