MANY field days are ahead for the next family in this gorgeous home.
Situated on the curve of Windfield Road, this Melville abode is set on a huge 1,032sqm duplex block.
The spacious house was built in the 1960s, and while it keeps some flair of its era, most of the inside of the home has been transformed into a modern retreat.
Obviously well maintained by its last owners, the home glows with warmth.
This home can definitely fit a large family, easily fitting five bedrooms, two bathrooms and around four cars. There is even room for a caravan or boat.
There is a timeless beauty to the home, whether you are looking inside at the original jarrah floorboards, exposed beams, timber windows or ornate cornicing, or outside to the manicured, green garden beds, huge aqua pool, and stunning white gumtrees.
The home is described as having a ‘Down South feel’ and I think this is attributed both to the era of the adobe, its luxurious space, and the lush surrounds.
The floor plan is arranged thoughtfully and allows space for everyone. The family lounge room is massive, and has textured white walls, detailed cornices, ceiling fans, a Rinnai log gas heater, French doors to a front veranda and despite its room shaping, feels well measured.
Nearby is the dinning and kitchen area.
The kitchen is nice, new and simple and feels all contained. There’s gas cooking, a dishwasher and cupboard storage galore.
The dining room has an attractive, brick feature wall, along with exposed wooden beams. It’s an inviting space and its handy proximity to the kitchen means putting the family casserole down isn’t a too-long game of hot potato.

The main bedroom is massive, has a walk-in wardrobe, front garden views and is completed with cornicing. All other bedrooms are large, have celling fans, a mix of carpet and floorboards, and one of the two done-up bathrooms close by.
The Chook thinks the living room in the back of the house, near the bedrooms is a superb spot for a kids’ hangout. For younger children a toy room might suit. Older kids will appreciate the space away from their parents.
Outside feels a bit special. The well-maintained garden follows to the back, there is a giant pool, plenty of areas to have outdoor seating, a fire pit in the back fence corner and a swing hanging to one of the many breathtaking white gum trees. There’s so much room to entertain and relax in this daydream of a backyard.
Being in the great location of Melville is also a plus. With plenty of shops, cafes and transport about, theres plenty of amenities to enjoy. Melville Senior High School is down the road and Melville Primary School is near too. It’s a short distance to Fremantle. The city isn’t much further either.
This is a warm, welcoming home that will securely take care of a large, growing family.
