Cherished and tended, the home has such a story to tell, you just have to stand quietly to absorb some of its past times.

You can see the love it has accepted and given back in the sheen of the polished jarrah boards, and you can't miss the unmistakable story of the art deco entrance and the size of the former ballroom along the back verandah.

Despite its grandeur, it is still above all, a family home, used to rollicking family Christmas dinners, and kicks of the footy in the side yard.

The owners also tell of using the tennis courts and in-ground pool that used to be in place in their younger days; ponder such a secure childhood you could pass on to your own family.

The friendly kitchen has been revamped, losing none of its practical charm, and making good use of the slider windows that can be opened up to serve guests outdoors.

The gleam of the honey-coloured pine floors will impress, as well as the soft-close drawers, induction cooktop and electric oven, ample bench space and storage, and large pantry.

Walk through to the family sitting room, where you can relax after a hard day's work while dinner cooks. It has a calm ambience with its timeless timber panelling, comfy loveseat and casual seating. You can imagine the family gathering there to unwind after a day at school and work.

The four double-bedrooms have built-in robes in three of them, soft-close drawers in the main, double doors in most, pretty decorative plaster ceilings and fans as well.

The home has comfort maintained throughout with ducted gas heating and cooling.

The main bathroom has been remodelled, but retains the special touches in keeping with the age of the home. The bath has been built-in to make great use of the leadlight windows on three sides, while the curve of the timber bench adds a beautiful touch to the décor here.

There are other important components of the property that are well worth your consideration, like the detached studio to the left of the main home, which is perfect as a B&B, the huge outdoor entertainment area where at least one family wedding has been held, and the three titles that make up the property giving you ever more intriguing options.

There is so much to take in, from the seeming miles of picket fence, the sheer beauty of the mature trees in the garden, the sweep of the curved drive and the space on the property.

Book an appointment to view with the agent, and prepare to be there a while.
