26 Porlock Way, Karrinyup WA 6018

Stunningly overlooking beautiful Draycott Park and its fantastic children’s playground in a whisper-quiet pocket of Karrinyup, this cleverly-revamped and extended 5 bedroom 3 bathroom circa-1970s home boasts plenty of original character and contemporary style, as well as offering a multitude of living options for everybody involved.

A unique tri-level floor plan includes a spacious ground-floor theatre room that is brilliant in its versatility, is carpeted for comfort and can be absolutely anything – from a home office to a games room, or even a “man cave” with internal shopper’s entry via a massive double carport at the end of a long driveway. Double front doors at the top of the garden staircase underneath a commanding portico verandah reveal a tiled foyer that welcomes you inside to a huge open-plan lounge and dining area with awesome park views, stunning Blackbutt timber floorboards and a series of bi-folding doors for seamless access out to a Matador gas barbecue and a larger-than-life below-ground swimming pool.

The adjacent family room is also warmed by wooden flooring and sits just off a generous kitchen where sparkling granite tops meet an island preparation bench, a breakfast bar for casual meals, double sinks, a Blanco gas cooktop and range hood, a separate stainless-steel oven/grill and a Fisher and Paykel double dishwasher. The minor sleeping quarters are made up of a commodious main bathroom and four bedrooms with wardrobes – one of which doubles as either a study or guest suite, comprising of a fully-tiled ensuite-come-third bathroom with a shower, toilet and corner vanity.

Upstairs, an expansive master-bedroom retreat provides over 30sqm of relaxing and unwinding space for mum and dad, alongside split-system air-conditioning, a big fitted walk-in robe, a stylish fully-tiled ensuite bathroom with a large shower, vanity and separate toilet and access out on to an over-sized tiled balcony where a combination of breathtaking ocean views, a tree-lined inland vista and glimpses of the park across the road will capture your imagination in more ways than one. Completing this wonderful package is an elevated poolside gazebo deck for year-round entertaining, overlooking the crystal-clear pool waters, as well as the lush backyard lawns.

Just walking distance away from the exciting Karrinyup Shopping Centre redevelopment, Karrinyup Primary School, bus stops, Hamersley Public Golf Course, picturesque Lake Gwelup Reserve and so close to the prestigious Lake Karrinyup Country Club, Our Lady of Good Counsel School, St Mary’s Anglican Girls’ School, the freeway and pristine swimming beaches – including the new-look Scarborough Beach foreshore, this special property has “living convenience” written all over it. It truly is one of a kind!
