4 Marseilles Dr, Yalyalup WA 6280

The front door and portico welcome you past the Frangipani trees into an open-plan kitchen, family, and living space floored in wood-look vinyl tiling in rich earthy tones. This space is cooled and heated by reverse cycle air-conditioning, but also serviced by a wood-fired heater for those chilly days in later winter.

The kitchen is nicely designed with a corner walk-in pantry, wide electric oven and gas-hob cooktop and overhead cupboards behind glass panes. A large kitchen island features a small serving tier that hides the sink from guests and provides space for four stools for quick breakfasts and cheeky snacks.

This wide living space opens out on the left-hand side into the original alfresco, which has now been enclosed - making it a comfy outdoor room/mancave, which opens to the yard though sliding glass doors. The three minor bedrooms are to the right side of the home. They accommodate double beds and are serviced by the second bathroom which features a tub, shower and toilet.

Built in 2012, this home rests comfortably on a generous 637sqm with room out back for the powered shed and allowing side access from the gravel driveway. This side of the house is paved, as is a large section in from the of the 6.5m x 5.5m shed which has been done in a feature mosaic. A water tank catches rain from the shed roof, ideal for gardens or washing the dog.

This smart and modern home offers plenty of space for kids and pets and is within easy reach of shops, cafes, schools and medical facilities. It's also only a short 10-minute drive to the regional airport, great for FIFO workers, and now facilitating thrice-weekly direct flights to Sydney and Melbourne for when you want to enjoy a few days on the east coast.
