108A Grand Promenade, Bedford WA 6052

Word to the wise: don't hesitate on this huge home.

As we've always maintained, big decisions need to be made with head AND heart. And if you're savvy enough to consider both the rational and emotional aspects of buying a home, this oversized, two-storey tucked quietly away at the rear will be a no-brainer for you. It has a flexible floorplan (check it out) that can be customised to suit, and loads of handy features. There's the option to have the main bedroom upstairs or down, and a choice of three living areas - a cosy lounge with fireplace for deep conversations or time out with a good book, spacious open plan living adjoining the outdoor alfresco entertaining area when you feel like livening (and lightening) things up, and an upstairs option when you or the fam need a little more separation. Don't forget the balcony with elevated aspect and city glimpses - show it off to a select few or simply admire the outlook while feeling smug about your brilliant move. Clever you.

Then there are other smarts, like wiring. Connect all the things and be welcomed home by ambient lighting. Synchronise your playlists with your activities, set up reticulation in the gardens, ask Siri or Alexa to give you the weather forecast, activate your security system even when you're not at home, or manage a whole fleet of robot vacuums. Not that you really need the robot vacuums, given the ducted vac system that's already been installed throughout. But it's nice to have the option, right? Meanwhile, with a recent coat of paint and fresh flooring of gorgeous Tassie oak, the whole home feels bright and new. And the icing on the cake? There are roller shutters on the windows and you have a remote-controlled double garage, making it secure and super low maintenance so you can jet off on holiday and not think twice about it. Genius.
