After a day on the water, drive the short distance home, park the boat and enjoy all the comforts of this highly appealing property in Bayonet Head.

And invite your friends – there’s space aplenty for entertaining.

Rendered in mid-grey with white highlights and a portico at the front, this modern brick and Colorbond home has masses of appeal from the outside.

Its stylish appearance, though, is just the introduction to its many features for relaxation and livability.

This is a big home, with five bedrooms – and a formal lounge which could be used as a sixth – impressive indoor and outdoor living areas and a well-appointed kitchen for feeding the family as well as a horde of guests.

At the heart of the home is a light, open living room with a family lounge at one end and in the middle, space for a huge dining table beneath the central coffered ceiling with recessed lighting.

Light and airy, this room will be the scene of many happy gatherings, serviced as it is by the adjacent kitchen, with attractive cabinets, pantry, dishwasher and a Eurolec chef’s stove.

Accommodating family and house guests would be just as easy as entertaining them.

The master bedroom is at the front of the house, to the right off the entrance hall. This generous room has a walk-in robe and en suite bathroom with a dual shower, basin and separate toilet.

On the opposite side of the hallway, the formal lounge is a versatile room lending itself for use as anything the family wants – which also applies to the nearby fifth bedroom, currently used as an office.

Three more double bedrooms, all with built-in robes, are in a wing at the rear, along with the family bathroom and laundry. Cleverly designed with separate rooms for the bath and shower, vanity, and toilet, the bathroom has plenty of space for changing and allows family members to use various facilities at the same time to avoid queues.

This is a home to be enjoyed all year round.

Glass doors from the dining area open onto a sheltered, dome-roofed patio, with space for a big table as well as the essential barbecue and pizza oven.

Trees in the back garden provide shady spots for the children to play, along with lawn and garden beds.

The back yard is fully fenced and has double gates for secure parking of the trailer or boat. In addition to the garage under the main roof, off-road parking exists for at least four more vehicles.

In excellent decorative order, the home is fitted with carpets and micro venetian blinds in the bedrooms, and floor tiles and hard-wearing vinyl in the main traffic areas.

An appealing property on a 719sqm block in a quiet cul-de-sac, it is within easy reach of the Great Southern Grammar and Flinders Park Primary School, a shopping centre, and swimming and fishing spots. The city of Albany, with medical and sporting facilities and a wide choice of entertainment venues, is a 12-minute drive away.
