Or extend the existing property, with the opportunity to add additional bedrooms and living spaces to an already generous floorplan. Options are in abundance at 12 Wills Street, Bayswater. 

Comprising 2 large bedrooms, 1 generous-sized bathroom, a secluded and cosy living area at the front, and a multifunctional office space at the rear - each space is extremely well proportioned and functionally positioned, providing the perfect canvas for amendments to the floorplan to suit your needs if required. Both bedrooms are equipped with built-in storage, split system air conditioning, and plantation shutters. And the second bedroom and adjoining room offer an extremely versatile space for a number of lifestyle options, including a home office, nursery, playroom, or an expansive walk-in robe or ensuite conversion.

Featuring Jarrah floorboards throughout, statement pendant lighting, plantation shutters, and a renovated kitchen and bathroom, this home seamlessly blends original charm with contemporary touches, creating a dreamy family oasis with every comfort considered. The prize is the beautifully designed heart of the home, boasting an open-plan kitchen and dining area, with graceful French doors opening onto a vast deck with stunning garden views. From morning coffee to afternoon sundowners, every moment feels like you're in a homely farm stay, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living with a picturesque backdrop as your every day. The kitchen features a modern upgrade, with ample bench space, quality appliances, and a breakfast bar with seating purposely overlooking the backyard for effortless casual dining.

An expansive deck constructed with durable composite decking sits elevated above the awe-inspiring backyard, bursting with every shade of green and a towering Jacaranda tree as the centrepiece. And on the ground floor is a serene, open-air dining and lounge space shaded by the natural canopy of mature trees, offering a peaceful retreat where nature provides the perfect cover. Beyond, you'll find a classic timber, powered shed, with grape vines climbing the adjoining pergola, and an established vegetable garden with a fruiting mandarin tree, mature fig and plum trees, and a 100-year-old pecan nut tree.
