171A Stevens St, White Gum Valley WA 6162

With the trees, bush and rolling green space of the golf course over the road and birdsong in the air, this near-new family home is completely quiet and serene. It feels like country living, but is handily central to everything, and so close to Fremantle and the beach. The ideal family layout offers a large second living area upstairs featuring solid spotted gum floors and a view across to Garden Island on the horizon. It's all fresh, very spacious, and energy-efficient, where everything has been completed with quality and taste, ready to simply move in and enjoy the shady seclusion.

At the rear down a wide driveway, the home was designed to retain the mature trees that create a cool, leafy setting. Ample paved parking offers plenty of space for vehicles, boat or caravan, and the double garage is over-sized with room for a workshop. The northern orientation is ideal for solar-passive living, with practical concrete-effect tiling flowing in the open-plan. Sliding doors lead to the alfresco, with built-in barbecue, looking out to the courtyard garden and a magnificent lemon-scented gum rising from the lawn. Inside, the big kitchen is beautifully designed in natural tones, with a huge waterfall bench in engineered stone. Beyond is the butler's pantry with heaps of storage and room for the second fridge, leading through to the garage.

Also on this level is a large powder room, family laundry, and the master suite: a lovely ensuite in cool beachy tones, separate toilet, fine carpeting and a big walk-in-robe. It's ideally separated from the bedrooms upstairs, which include a second master with en-suite, family bathroom with bath, a powder room, and two more bedrooms with green outlooks across the golf course. The kids have plenty of their own space up here, with a vast timber-floored living area, windows all around and a long vista over Beaconsfield to the ocean beyond.
