COOLBINIA

THE DEAL

Positioned on a generous corner holding within a tree-lined pocket of Coolbinia, this expansive family residence offers remarkable flexibility, generous accommodation and a layout that lends itself naturally to multigenerational living. Purchased in 1995 for its unbeatable proximity to leading schools, local shopping and the vast parklands just around the corner, the home has been immaculately maintained and thoughtfully extended to meet the needs of modern family life while preserving its original character.

Originally constructed in the early 1950s as a post-war cottage, the home retains its decorative ceilings and cornices in the formal lounge and dining rooms, providing a warm reminder of the property’s early history. Quality additions have been integrated over time, resulting in a floor plan that now delivers multiple living zones, generous bedrooms, a dedicated study and a superb family hub centred around a large galley-style kitchen and casual living area. Polished Jarrah floors run through the main residence, while the bedrooms are carpeted for comfort.

The accommodation includes four to five bedrooms and three bathrooms, with excellent zoning for families of all ages. A separate study provides the ideal work-from-home option, while the loft above the garage serves as an exceptional teenager’s retreat, music room or studio, complete with its own sense of privacy. Reverse-cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans and a gas log fire ensure year-round comfort throughout the home.

Outdoor living is a standout feature. An elevated alfresco deck overlooks the swimming pool and provides a generous space for entertaining, complemented by an outdoor shower and a poolside WC in the garage for convenience. Mature trees encircle the property including a thriving mulberry tree in the front garden offering both shade and seasonal fruit, enhancing the home’s sense of tranquillity. To the side, a private lawned area provides an ideal space for children and pets, large enough for a trampoline, ball sports and everyday play. The gardens also feature lemon, lime, cumquat and orange trees, along with a raised herb garden.

A key advantage of the corner position is the side metal gate opening directly onto Meenaar Crescent, accessed from the grassed area. This allows secure passage for a caravan, trailer or small boat, leading through to the substantial 6m x 6m double workshop, perfect for storage, trades or hobbies. The main double garage with its cedar tilt door further enhances the home’s practicality.

The location strengthens the home’s appeal. Coolbinia’s strong community spirit is well known, with annual street gatherings and an active neighbourhood connection. From here, you are minutes to Menora, Mount Lawley, North Perth, Mount Hawthorn and Leederville, and just 4km from the CBD. A bus stop sits within easy walking distance, providing direct access into the city, while Flinders Square, home to Coles, Woolworths and Aldi is less than a kilometre away.

SEALS THE DEAL

This is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial multigenerational residence in one of Coolbinia’s most tightly held streets. A home that balances character, comfort and outstanding family functionality, ready to enjoy from the moment you move in.
