143B Northstead Street, Scarborough, WA 6019

This tranquil rear residence is more spacious than your average townhouse and offers you a splendid low-maintenance lifestyle, along with a flexible and versatile two-storey floor plan that is headlined by stunning ocean views from the upstairs balcony. When not sitting back and putting your feet up, it's simply just a matter of locking up, leaving and going about your daily business.

Perfectly positioned within a humble locale, you will find yourself nestled just a leisurely stroll from the iconic Scarborough Beach frontage, currently undergoing a multi-million-dollar upgrade to provide locals and tourists with new boardwalks, esplanades, a vibrant cafe and entertainment scene and the new Scarborough Beach Pool that has now been complete. The splendid and sprawling Abbett Park is also nearby, whilst an array of local schools are all within arm's reach.

The ground floor virtually doubles as the minor sleeping quarters, where a practical main bathroom with a separate bath and shower services the second and third bedrooms - both boasting built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans. A huge games or theatre room gives you the options of a generous fourth bedroom that seamlessly flows outdoors to a north-west-facing alcove courtyard - perfect for quiet contemplation.

Upstairs, a full-length alfresco balcony takes in the breathtaking sea vista and is where a lot of your time will be spent entertaining, directly off the spacious open-plan family and dining area that is warmed by timber floorboards and incorporates a sleek kitchen - complete with sparkling granite bench tops and splashbacks, a step-in pantry, a massive fridge/freezer recess, double sinks, a Blanco dishwasher, Blanco oven, a Blanco range hood and a five-burner gas cook top of the same brand - into its airy design. Also on the top floor lies a carpeted master suite where split-system air-conditioning, a "his and hers" walk-through wardrobe and a delightful ensuite bathroom (with a shower, toilet and heat lamps) meet double French doors that open out to the back balcony.

Now this is living!
