EARLY morning walks along the beach and stopping for coffee at local cafes are two things the vendors of this North Coogee home will miss.

“And walking to Fremantle and back,” they say. “We like walking.”

If walking isn’t your thing there’s always the free CAT bus, mere metres from the Breaksea Drive address.

This four-bedroom/two-bathroom abode has all the bells and whistles you’d expect from an almost brand-new Webb & Brown-Neaves home, with sweeping proportions, especially in the huge open-plan living/dining/kitchen.

According to the agent it’s been “absolutely babied” by its only owners and is in better condition now than when they moved in.

Pristine is the word that springs to mind as you step inside the two-storey home, where honey-gold timber floors offer a muted contrast to crisp white walls.

A cathedral ceiling (supported by a soaring, slender steel column) and massive walls of steel and glass in the living area add a touch of drama.

Peel back the doors on two sides and alfresco becomes alpartico, with room to dance on the timber floor under the covered patio and a swathe of synthetic grass adding a splash of green for the “chill” area.

And the theatre room is a great space to park the kids, while the grown-ups play.

And when the party’s over roll down the cafe curtains and enjoy the great outdoors without the cold wind as you relax over the morning paper.

Whipping up party food would be no problem in the spacious kitchen, with its sweep of caesar-stone bench tops and double pantry.

A main bedroom on the ground floor is something I often hear people say they want and this home has just that, a huge bedroom off the entry hall with walk-in robe and a swish ensuite, with double showers.

The rest of the bedrooms, including another that could be a main — with a walk-in robe and semi-ensuite — are upstairs.

Glass doors lead to a balcony, which is also accessed off a second sitting room, or games room for the kids.

With plenty of shops and cafes close at hand, and a lovely primary school within walking distance, this is a great home for all the family.
