DOCTOR Harry Harlow revolutionised psychiatry in the 1950s with his controversial social isolation experiments on monkeys.
Surprise, surprise monkeys, and by extrapolation people, need companionship and a sense of community, for mental well-being and happiness.
Well, I can’t image ever feeling lonely living in this delightful section of East Perth.
The vendor is a regular morning walker and there’s a sense of community amongst the band of early-birders pounding the cute, tree-lined streets.
With the river foreshore mere metres away I imagine there are walkers any time of the day.
How pleasant it must be of an evening, especially wandering around to Claisebrook Cove with its many bars and cafes on the waterfront.
Covering three levels this delightful four-bedroom/two-bathroom home is perfect for those looking for child-friendly inner-city living.
Any closer and you’d be on the Terrace, judging by the city views from the upper level balcony.
The spacious ground floor is the heart of the home, with its open plan living/kitchen/dining.
The vendor was well ahead in the kitchen fashion stakes and although this one is 11 years old, it not only looks brand new, it could feature in a 2015 magazine shoot.
A plethora of bench space is topped by crisp-white caesar stone, and there’s plenty of drawers and storage, including a pantry.
A wall of glass opens onto a lovely courtyard garden, a private enclosure of peace and tranquility with its pots of large trees and delicate water feature.
The central level could be called the kids’ wing, with three double bedrooms, a generous activity/play area and a “library”, or study.
You’ll find the parent’s retreat on the third level, a very generous space with a sweeping sitting room and two balconies.
(If kids have an activity room, is a sitting room a non-activity room for grown-ups?)
The walk-in robe/dressing room is accessed through the very modern ensuite, with its spa, double vanities and separate shower and toilet.
There’s nothing to do here but move in, and with no strata fees it makes sense to get cracking.
