20 Bangalla Place, Balcatta, WA 6021

THE DEAL

Quiet street. Prime location. A home that knows how to hold its own. Set high in a locals-only cul-de-sac, this character-packed standout puts oversized proportions, period details, and modern updates in all the right places. The front porch wraps around like it owns the street, while the elevated position throws in leafy parkland views and desirable all-day sun, illuminating the interior, where family warmth and connectivity meets an incredible entertainer's domain out back.

Jarrah floors run long through the hallway, leading to a main bedroom with detailed cornicing, loads of robes, and split system heating/cooling. Two more bedrooms follow suit, sized up thanks to an era that didn't do small. The living room has enough space to take whatever setup you throw at it, bursting with north-facing light which only emphasises the striking pressed tin ceilings. The meals area flows straight onto the porch, while the kitchen sits central to it all, spilling to the back, where an epic deck steps up the entertaining game, with overhead heating, ceiling fans, and a triple-gable ceiling. Sweeping lawns are perfect for an afternoon game of cricket, whilst the pool only continues the impressive setting for summer fun.

There's evaporative cooling, a beautifully updated modern laundry with hideaway storage and enough off-street parking for the entire family fleet. Plus, a gated side drive leads to a carport and workshop, with a storage room and a separate rear studio that's primed for a home office, teenage hangout, kids activity and spot to kick back by the pool.

SEALS THE DEAL

This is the one that delivers, 15-minutes from Triggs Beach, 12km from the CBD and only steps away from the best parks in the area, extending your front garden through Rickman Bangalla Reserve to the tennis/basketball courts, open spaces and sporting grounds at the Rickman Delawney Reserve.
