270 Lancaster Road, Mckail WA 6330

Working in the city and going home to a leafy, semi-rural idyll with clean air, green spaces and room to spread your wings promotes healthy life balance and wellbeing. Only 10 minutes' drive from town, this impressive property is rather understated from a curbside view but be prepared for a surprise when you step inside to explore all that is on offer. It consists of a stylishly renovated home set well back from the road behind a screen of tall eucalypts on a peaceful 4,062 sqm block, bordered on two sides by farmland. The land is mostly in grass with native vegetation, a chook run, and several citrus, stonefruit and apple trees. There's ample space for planting veggie gardens and for kids and pets to work off energy. Behind the house is a large, old shed (approximately 10m x 7.5m) that's great for parking the trailer and storing outdoor gear, and there's plenty of scope for building a big, new shed-workshop and garaging (up to 170 sqm). The comfortable, versatile home has been extensively modernised to provide excellent amenities and accommodation. Its modest exterior gives only a hint of the impressive transformation that has recently been completed inside. The entrance to the home is warm and inviting. It features smart weatherboard-like cladding to the façade and a bulkhead over the front door. Timber-look hybrid flooring is fitted in most rooms, which are finished in clean, white décor set off with classy lighting. A picture window in the lounge and dining area at the front takes in the beautiful, green outlook, while at the back is a sizeable family room or games room with a study nook and built in desk. A reverse cycle air conditioner in this area helps to keep the property comfortable all year round, while a wood burning fire in the front lounge adds to the ambiance plus provides an alternate heating source. With white cabinetry, timber benchtops and a near new 900 mm wide stainless steel gas cooker and dishwasher, the kitchen is an appealing space with tongue-and-groove wall panelling creating a modern take on a cottage kitchen, and a terrific walk-in pantry adjoining. The king-sized master bedroom has shelving and hanging space, and the other three bedroom spaces are big doubles. Nearby is the stylish modern bathroom with a bath, double shower, double vanity and floor-to-ceiling tiling. The separate toilet is off the laundry. Exposed-aggregate concrete has been used to great effect on the back patio as well as the front veranda area, which is bordered with attractive jarrah and steel balustrading. Popular schools and shops are only a few minutes away, so you will enjoy the best of both worlds at this property – a quiet rural lifestyle with the advantage of all services and facilities being located within easy reach. Furthermore, the Urban Development zoning and the benefit of falling within the McKail North Outline Development Plan (Endorsed by the City of Albany) and the Gladville Precinct Structure Plan (In Progress with the City of Albany) expands the property's future development potential so is also worthy of consideration. This is an outstanding property offering a coveted lifestyle without sacrificing city convenience.
