2 Mardella St, Coolbinia WA 6050

High ceilings, solid wooden Jarrah floorboards, intricate details such as curved glass windows and decorative ceiling roses, feature ceilings, cornices and skirting boards, stunning sash windows and a layout that invites creativity make it an ideal canvas from which to craft your dream residence, on your own terms.

An enormous formal front lounge room welcomes you inside off the entry foyer, with the grand formal-dining room next door benefitting from its own separate access. A huge home office can be found in this part of the house too, with its curved wooden walls and custom timber storage all add to its 'Mad Men' vibe.

The open-plan family, meals and kitchen area doubles personal living options downstairs and plays host to a double linen press and pot-belly wood-fire heater. The kitchen itself is generous in size and is more-or-less a “blank canvas” for the resident chef's individual touches, currently comprising of a sleek granite island bench, double sinks, a water-filter tap, stainless-steel gas-cooktop and double-oven appliances, a Westinghouse range hood and a white Miele dishwasher.

Family-room bi-fold doors reveal a splendid paved entertaining courtyard, right beside a shimmering below-ground swimming pool that has been recently re-lined and leaves extra room around it to laze about under the summer sun and swaying palms – and amidst the chirping local birdlife up in the surrounding treetops. Back inside, a giant master retreat is the obvious pick of the bedrooms with its double-door garden and courtyard access.

Next to the master suite lies the main ground-level bathroom – complete with stunning original terrazzo flooring, glass wall tiles, a walk-in shower, a central bathtub and a toilet. There is plenty of storage within the laundry, with the second bathroom also accessible from here – and home to a shower, toilet and vanity basin.

Upstairs, a spacious rumpus/living room has its own kitchenette with double sinks, as well as double-door access to a fabulous balcony, overlooking the pool. There is double-door balcony access from the landing too, as well as from within a huge second bedroom – where built-in wardrobes and extra storage cupboards complement leafy street views across the front balcony, all behind the privacy of double doors.

The large third bedroom benefits from a pleasant verdant outlook. The fourth bedroom mirrors the second bedroom, with the only difference being the access out on to a separate balcony.

The fifth bedroom is light, bright, spacious and has its own vista down to the pool. With its own entrance from an external staircase, the carpeted and light-filled sixth bedroom is split across two tiers and is the ultimate multi-generational (or teenager's) hub, comprising of a retreat area and double doors leading out to its own intimate balcony. Like the downstairs bathroom, the main upper-level bathroom is dominated by terrazzo flooring and has its own walk-in shower, toilet and centrally positioned bathtub.

Aside from parking within the garage and under the carport, there is also street access into a huge remote-controlled single garage-come-workshop with high ceilings and a door leading to the pool.

From this secluded spot, the majestic Yokine Regional Open Space is only walking distance away, with bus stops, Coolbinia Primary School, Mount Lawley Senior High School, wonderful community sporting facilities, Alexander Park Tennis Club and Flinders Square shopping centre are within arm's reach, too. The likes of premium golf courses, other top schools and public-transport options, the Edith Cowan University Mount Lawley Campus, cafes, restaurants, the surrounding entertainment precincts of Mount Lawley, North Perth, Mount Hawthorn, Leederville and Northbridge, the city, the freeway and even our pristine Western Australian coastline are also nearby and merely add to the convenience of this exquisite family-friendly locale.
