RESEMBLING a huge, silver corrugated-iron box from the outside this Paget Street, Hilton home is full of surprises as you step inside to discover a sweeping uber-modern space.

Rich jarrah floors flow like chocolate across the floors, in beautiful contrast to the crisp white of the walls, an effect well amplified by high ceilings, and banks of huge windows/doors along a north facing wall.

With a sparkling blue pool and a bleached timber deck on the other side of the glass the effect is a stunning private sanctuary.

Set down the drive on a whopping 670sqm battle-axe block this architecturally designed home is an all season’s entertainer.

For warmer days and nights there’s a barbeque kitchen, a stylish alfresco area set under a timber roof bolted to a high limestone wall.

But when the weather turns nasty head indoors where a spiffing kitchen makes cooking a delight, with a tall pull-out pantry and soft-close drawers, and a sweep of white benches.

There’s actually enough room here to create a family area, or for guests to spread out.

Three jarrah steps lead to the lounge, a cosy space, with its own doors to the great outdoors.

Two of the three bedrooms have doors to the pool, including the generous main, with its walk-in-robe and ensuite.

While the third has access to a pleasant timber-decked courtyard, and, in compensation for the lack of direct pool access, this one is ensuite.

The garden extends to more paving and a grove of fruit trees, including a couple of small mangos, nectarine and a lemon, next to a series of raised vegetable gardens.

With a mass of solar panels on the roof, the power people will be paying you, no matter how many lights you leave on.

On the southern end of Paget Street there’s a heap of shops in walking distance, and a popular local cafe just up the road.
