LOLLY-LEGS LAMOND (aka Toni Lamond) won her moniker after her legs were voted the second-best pair in television by the late Noel Ferrier in the ‘70s. Rhonda Burchmore wasn’t around then so we’re not sure who won.

There’s nothing second-best about this delightful home in Lamond Street, Alfred Cove.

Located down a long, aged brick paved and tree lined drive, and set amid a lush garden, and mature trees it’s a tranquil oasis, sitting on 714sqm.

“People say it’s like Margaret River,” the vendor says. “[And] when I go back out the drive I think ‘oh my God, I’m back in Perth.”

The five-bedroom/two-bathroom cedar-clad home is simply the best, in my opinion, with charm by the bucketful and a style well worth writing home about.

The central entrance takes you straight into the heart of the home—its spacious living/dining/kitchen area—where lovely golden timber flooring and white painted timber ceilings give a charming ambience.

And check out the cute burgundy combustion stove, with regal lions embossed on the sides, perfect for cold nights and just plain decorative over summer.

Filtered by outdoor greenery, masses of huge windows ensure plenty of light—and a soothing vista in just about any direction.

The renovated kitchen is spacious, with a five-burner 900mm stainless steel stove and a swathe of caesar-stone bench space and storage including a large double pantry.

A second sitting room off the kitchen has huge double-glass doors onto a timber deck and is a pleasant retreat for quiet contemplation.

Or invite the gang over to enjoy the pool, and a barbecue under the cabana, while the littlies play in the delightful timber cubby house.

And at day’s end climb the golden timber stairs to three of the bedrooms, including the main, and a spacious sitting/games room.

Steeply-sloping timber beamed ceilings add an interesting dimension and feel to the bedrooms, all of which are double.

The balcony off the sitting room, and main bedroom, gazes out across the leafy greenery, and you could be forgiven for forgetting you’re in the heart of the suburbs.
