It came as no surprise to discover the vendor of this Yokine property is an alternative massage therapist, working from home.

All those good vibes flow through this bright and thoroughly modern abode ensuring tranquility and a sense of well-being…”A sanctuary,” she says.

Internal halls are a waste of space the vendor reckoned, so she designed the home inside an external one.

The secure steel door of this walled-garden “passage” to the front door (really on the side) is crowned with apricot-coloured bougainvillea, a riot of colour amongst the green profusion of this welcoming oasis.

There’s a sense of understated opulence to this four-bedroom /two-bathroom home from the moment you step into the spacious entry vestibule, where light floods in from a massive window over the stairs.

The vendor really thought about the design of this home and there’s some great practical touches, such as a utility room off the huge garage.

It’s a place for the kids to dump their gear as they rush home—or for mum to put the casserole dish that she borrowed to ensure it gets back to its owner.

“[This] is a central location. Everything is so close, the city is 10 minutes away…the airport is close.

There’s plenty of room for the family to congregate in the voluminous open living/dining/kitchen, sans the clutter of school bags.

The kitchen is a prodigious space, with acres of caesar stone bench space, plenty of self-closing drawers and two full-sized pull-out pantries.

Thanks to the vendor’s attention to detail, there’s a door off the kitchen to the covered patio for easy entertaining.

A bank of them off the dining/living area, lead out to the patio and pool, where a giant Buddha gazes down protectively.

Openings high in the patio wall allow for cooling breezes, and tree top views, while maintaining privacy.

Upstairs the bedrooms are all double, but of course the main is a cavernous space, with a cute balcony and a huge open ensuite with a deep spa, and separate shower and toilet.

When the Voice dropped in the vendors were in the theatre room watching a movie in luxurious comfort, so after touring the home I dropped into a comfy chair for a chat.

“[This] is a central location. Everything is so close, the city is 10 minutes away…the airport is close. We are close to Dianella and Dog Swamp shopping centres,” they say.

The house is so well designed the oodles of space is well utilised, even though the kids have flown the coop.

The area is family-friendly with plenty of parks, and the local primary school is a couple of minutes’ walk away.
