This unique and versatile 5 bedroom 2 bathroom tri-level laneway home in South Scarborough redefines modern low-maintenance living and boasts an exceptional layout that is designed for total flexibility.
With its main private access via the tranquil Wilga Lane at the rear, this stylish one-of-a-kind residence offers countless options to suit your lifestyle. Downstairs and beyond a gated courtyard entry deck lies a spacious fifth bedroom-come-home office that can be whatever you want it to be and has built-in double computer desks, shelving, full-height built-in wardrobes and its own split-system air-conditioning unit for climate control.
Also on the ground level are a powder room (with a sleek stone vanity), a large under-stair storeroom and a handy internal shopper's entry door via the remote-controlled double lock-up garage - complete with roller-door access to the rear and two extra driveway parking spaces that precede it. A beautifully-tiled open-plan family, dining and kitchen area is the hub of the house and features window louvers, for cross-flow ventilation.
The kitchen itself oozes class in the form of sparkling stone bench tops, a large breakfast bar, a single sink with quality tap fittings, sleek white cabinetry, soft-closing drawers, an integrated range hood, a Siemens Induction cooktop, double ovens of the same brand and a connecting scullery - complete with more stone counter tops, double sinks, subway-tile splashbacks and a white Miele dishwasher. The laundry sits off the scullery and comprises of further stone bench tops, a stainless-steel Principal wash trough, subway-tile splashbacks, an open walk-in linen press and external/side access for drying.
Sliding-stacker doors seamlessly extend the living space to a terrific north-facing covered alfresco-entertaining area, overlooking a shimmering below-ground swimming pool and its flowing waterfall feature. There are two outdoor rain showers also, as well as a separate side-access gate leading to and from Burniston Street.
The main sleeping quarters are cleverly situated on the middle floor, with the three minor bedrooms separated from the commodious master suite by a tiled study area with its own desk, storage, shelving, a full-height double-sliding-door linen press and a built-in stone kitchenette with a sink and over-head and under-bench storage cupboards. The carpeted master has a walk-in robe, extra custom storage and a large fully-tiled ensuite bathroom - free-standing bathtub, walk-in rain shower, twin "his and hers" stone-vanity basins, separate fully-tiled toilet, under-bench storage, leafy aspect and all. Window louvers here allow those sensual sea breezes to filter in and cool this impressive parents' retreat down, especially during those warmer summer months.
The three generous minor bedrooms are also carpeted under foot and have their own computer desks and full-height built-in robes. A light, bright and fully-tiled main family bathroom comprises of a walk-in shower, stone vanity and toilet.
The wildcard in the layout is the sensational carpeted top floor loft that can be anything from a second living room to a teenager's hangout or even a sixth bedroom. It also benefits from roof access for storage, as well as magical evening sunsets and splendid surrounding tree-lined views.
Walk to both the Brighton and revitalised Scarborough Beaches from here, with the Brighton Road Food Market, the Brighton Bakery and Driphouse all nestled just around the corner, along with Scarborough Primary School, more coffee spots and restaurants along Calais Road even the vibrant Doric Street food precinct.
Also nearby are bus stops and sprawling local parks and reserves, with the local library, the Scarborough Leisure Centre, wonderful community sporting facilities, other top schools (including the International School of Western Australia) and exceptional shopping at both Westfield Innaloo and Karrinyup in close proximity, too. If quality and convenience are what you seek, then you have finally found your perfect haven!
