49 Costigan St, McKail WA 6330, Australia
There is room for everyone in this solid family home set on a lovely 1,515 sqm natural bush block in a leafy, peaceful neighbourhood.
Situated in the very popular suburb of McKail it is less than a 15 minute commute from town, but it feels far more removed as you listen to birds in the surrounding trees.
This double-brick and Zincalume home’s design features earthy country touches throughout. Slate tiled floors, exposed brick and timber fittings in most rooms accentuate the warmth the home exudes, and the patio that runs along the north side of the house is perfect for the ‘rural’ space it overlooks.
The front door opens to a tiled entry, and to the right is the spacious master bedroom. A wall of wardrobing is built in, and sliding doors lead out into a private sitting area. Currently enclosed and used for storage, it could be opened up again to provide a lovely private patio or parent’s retreat.
From the master, the semi-ensuite is a generous size. It boasts a full-size bath, shower and large vanity, as well as wall-hung storage. The toilet is separate, but nearby to this area.
Across the hall from the master, two other bedrooms are located. They both include great walk-in robes and are comfortably queen-sized.
As you proceed down the passage, feature French Doors reveal a fantastic family lounge room. This room has bay windows, and a wood fire in the corner to keep everyone cosy. It can be closed off from the adjoining dining area for movie nights and is spacious enough for a study desk along the front wall.
The dining area fits a family comfortably, and includes a breakfast bar at the kitchen counter. This is where you find access outside to the huge, sunny main undercover area.
The kitchen has lovely country touches, with exposed brick and timber cabinetry. The window at the sink looks out to the patio and yard beyond, and the kitchen’s design is very practical. Cooking is electric with a wall oven and separate grill next to a built-in corner pantry.
Behind the kitchen is a family laundry with plenty of bench space, and the entrance to a fourth bedroom or second living space. There is room to add wardrobes here, or use it as a playroom as it is close to the family areas.
The patio is paved, with plenty of room for BBQ entertaining. Looking out over the block, it would be an ideal place to sit and relax while the kids play. There is room to extend into the patio from the master, and by adding an ensuite it will transform the home to a 4×2 if desired.
The block includes a chook run, fruit trees and garden storage. It is fenced and gated to one side and could be enclosed for pets. The present dwelling is set to the rear so enjoys privacy and a quiet ambiance, but it leaves plenty of space remaining to add a large shed. With 41.85m street frontage there is a lot of choice as to where you may place a shed on the block – it can be either close to, or away from the house, or somewhere in between.
The lot is also connected to deep sewerage and zoned R20, meaning it is subdividable. The current house placement towards the back of the block opens up the possibility of subdividing without removing the existing dwelling. The total land area suggests it may potentially be split in to 3 lots (with approvals from the relevant authorities) – so you could benefit from this and enjoy the home without having to worry about maintaining the block – the choice is yours!
