166A Flinders Street

THE DEAL Some homes keep their best qualities to themselves. From the street, 166A Flinders gives very little away. Step inside, though, and the home opens up dramatically, revealing proportions that are far larger than first impressions suggest. Wide hallways lead through to an expansive open-plan living and dining area where natural light, soft neutral finishes and generous ceiling heights create an immediate sense of space. The kitchen has been designed to keep up with everyday life, centred around a substantial island bench and complemented by 900mm Westinghouse appliances, extensive cabinetry, a large pantry and plenty of bench space. Whether it's busy weekday mornings or entertaining on the weekend, everything simply works. The adjoining alfresco continues that feeling outdoors. Private, sheltered and easy to maintain, it's a space designed to be used rather than looked after. Downstairs also offers two generously proportioned bedrooms with full-height mirrored robes, a well-appointed family bathroom, separate WC and excellent storage, including a surprisingly spacious under-stair storeroom. Upstairs is reserved entirely for the master retreat. It's a level that feels removed from the rest of the home, complete with a genuinely oversized walk-in robe, private ensuite and a separate study nook that creates an ideal work-from-home space without sacrificing a bedroom. Throughout the home, comfort has been thoughtfully considered. Fully ducted Daikin reverse-cycle air conditioning, window tinting upstairs and security system all contribute to a home that's as practical as it is comfortable, making it an excellent lock-and-leave option for busy professionals or frequent travellers. The location brings everything together. Dog Swamp Shopping Centre is an easy walk away, Yokine Reserve is only minutes from your door, and Dianella Plaza, North Perth, Mount Hawthorn and Leederville are all within easy reach. The bus stop at your doorstep provides a direct connection into the CBD, while Perth City sits just 8 kilometres away and less than 20 minutes to the coast. It's the convenience of an inner-north address without giving up the space so often associated with the suburbs. SEALS THE DEAL Unassuming from the street but surprisingly generous inside, this is a home that rewards you the further you walk through it. Spacious, private and brilliantly connected, it's inner-north living that's designed to make life easier.
