Scarborough, 200A Northstead Street – $975,000

Selling agent Tim Schifferli said the residence had a clever design.

“A feature of the home is the wonderful parents’ retreat upstairs, including the master suite with deluxe ensuite and walk-in robe, a large lounge that opens on to a spacious balcony with ocean views, and a separate study or fourth bedroom perfect as a nursery,” Mr Schifferli said.

“The heated pool is a recent addition, as is the covered alfresco area at the rear.”

The ground floor includes a stylish, well-appointed kitchen with plenty of drawers, lots of bench space, quality appliances with a rangehood, a two-door pantry and large fridge recess.

The kitchen overlooks the meals area and the sunken lounge with the home’s elevation allowing for glimpses over the surrounding rooftops.

Also downstairs are two bedrooms in their own wing to ensure privacy, and they share the main bathroom with a separate toilet.

The back yard features a protected all-weather entertaining area while, at the front of the home, french doors lead to the gas-heated pool.

Other features include ducted reverse-cycle airconditioning, solar panels to reduce electricity costs, and a double garage with remote controlled door and direct access to the home.

There are presently tenants in the home paying $850 a week who would be happy to stay, making it a great investment property, or it can be made available for vacant possession if required.

Mr Schifferli said the home was in a top location on a quiet street.

“It is also in the Churchlands Senior High School catchment zone,” he said.
