23 Rufus Street, Milpara, WA 6330

With a traditional farmhouse design and natural timber features beautifully reflecting its origins, this skillfully renovated 1950s home offers a desirable semi-rural lifestyle a few minutes from town.

It started out as the homestead on a dairy farm and was moved to its current site on 3,046sqm when the farmland was subdivided in recent years.

The home proudly displays its heritage in high ceilings and refurbished timber windows and doors, and has solid jarrah floors under the floorcoverings. It has been extended, rewired, insulated and replumbed, and tastefully modernised with a superb kitchen and stylish bathrooms and laundry.

All rooms are generously proportioned, and there's scope for creating an additional bedroom.

The open-plan living area at the back consists of an air-conditioned lounge and dining space, where French doors open onto a 4m-wide deck, partly enclosed and big enough for family gatherings.

Finished in sleek white cabinetry offset with charcoal and grey, the kitchen is a well-designed workspace with a dishwasher, induction cook-top and silent rangehood. Another excellent facility is the adjoining scullery and walk-in pantry for storage as well as housing small appliances.

The air-conditioned, king-sized master bedroom has a sparkling white en suite with a bath as well as a shower, a separate toilet close by and an adjacent walk-in dressing room. To add to the amenity of this wing of the home is another room ideally positioned for use as a nursery, home office or craft space. Three sets of French doors lead from the master suite onto a private deck and a delightful sunroom.

Across the wide entrance hall is the second king-sized bedroom, which also has an en suite shower room, a walk-in robe and French doors onto the front deck.

There's a third toilet in the laundry.

The grassy block is relatively level, with a variety of native trees and shrubs established for shelter and character, namely Peppermint trees, Acacia, Grevilleas and Callistemons, and a fenced rear section with raised veggie beds, a chook run, assorted fruit trees and a rainwater tank.

A key asset is the 10m x 6m freestanding shed with a sliding door, power, lighting and workbenches, with space to park at least one vehicle inside comfortably. There are several other sites on the land where new owners could build a bigger shed.

Within easy reach of schools, a major supermarket, fuel and liquor supplies, the idyllic property proves you don't have to sacrifice convenience for space and lifestyle.
