194 Grand Promenade, Bedford WA 6052

Green space, cafes, schools, city access. All without lifting a car key.

This is the kind of home that'll make you feel smartly smug in the best kind of way. It also makes days easy with its already renovated and low-maintenance charm, leaving you all the time in the world to enjoy the fabulous happenings right on your doorstep. Set on a tidy 329sqm block, it makes downsizers feel clever, first-home buyers feel victorious, and investors feel like they've cracked the code. It's neat without being boring. Polished without being precious. And proof you don't need a massive block to live a very full life. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, living, and dining zone, where good design decisions have clearly been made by someone who actually cooks. Reconstituted stone benchtops, a breakfast bar for chats and grazing, gas cooktop, double sink, and more storage than you might expect to find. Then there's the Siemens steam oven and plate warmer because leftovers deserve respect too.

The main bedroom is subtly served with walk-in robes, a tidy ensuite, and air con, plus the two additional bedrooms with built-ins give you plenty of options for kids or working from home. And you may not have noticed, but that main bathroom is doing double duty in the cleverest way, hiding a European-style laundry so your washing machine doesn't need its own room or to become part of the decor. Outside is all zero fuss with a shaded, paved courtyard delivering the goods for sunny morning coffees or a sneaky evening wine. There's direct access to the double carport, a rear paved path for the clothes drying area, and a garden shed, plus a bonus large attic for all the sport/craft/collector's things you swear you'll sort through one day.
