AN awesome selection of French cheeses at a shop within walking distance is one of the many and varied reasons the vendor of this Clifton Crescent, Mt Lawley abode loves her home.

The fact the grandkids can ride their trikes under cover of the huge garage/car port is another, and she’s pretty impressed with the bus service, which whisks her into the Perth CBD in 10 minutes.

“There are so many buses on Beaufort Street and North Street, I never think what time is the next bus coming because one will be along soon.”

A glorious profusion of mauve wisteria scented the air as we sipped tea and chatted, elegantly seated in a sheltered corner of the wrap-around timber verandah.

It overlooks a lovely manicured garden of roses, flowering plum trees and hedges, and it’s obvious the vendor has green fingers.

This three-bedroom/two-bathroom home, sitting on 456sqm, has enough appeal to win out over any amount of cheese, including high ceilings, rich jarrah floors and plenty of elegant spaces including formal lounge and dining rooms, both with french doors to the verandah.

A modern, compact kitchen overlooks a cosy family room, where french doors lead to a covered alfresco area and raised limestone garden beds, the perfect space for the adults to chat while the kids whiz around the carport.

The crisp, white kitchen is designed for efficiency, cutting down on walking, but not at the cost of space. There’s a heap of drawers and cupboards and plenty of caesar stone bench tops for preparation.

Beautiful jarrah stairs lead to the upstairs bedrooms (with a great wine cellar/storage area beneath).

The main bedroom is a gracious space, that, thanks to off-set windows, is particularly charming.

The clotted-cream theme of the bedroom is followed in the spacious ensuite, with its gleaming tiles and double vanities.

This is a great family home, with the prestigious Perth College a few minutes’walk away, plenty of shops and cafes nearby, and the Mt Lawley Golf Club a mere three minutes’ drive.
