Located in the sought-after Chaplin Heights subdivision with deeded access to the Tay River, this custom-built 1990 bungalow offers a wonderful balance of comfort, privacy, and timeless appeal in a family-friendly setting just 5.5 km west of Historic Downtown Perth on paved municipal roads.

From the moment you arrive, this home offers a warm and welcoming presence. A beautifully landscaped stone walkway leads from the double-wide paved driveway to the impressive 2021 front entry door, creating an inviting first impression and adding exceptional curb appeal. Brick along the front and sides, complemented by maintenance-free vinyl siding at the rear, provides both character and ease of maintenance.

Inside, the bright open foyer flows into a spacious living room featuring cathedral ceilings and a cozy gas fireplace, creating an atmosphere that feels both elegant and comfortable. The home is finished with hard surface flooring throughout, including beautiful hardwood and ceramic tile, offering both timeless style and easy day-to-day maintenance.

The updated kitchen and dining area are designed for both everyday living and entertaining, offering stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, a convenient sit-up breakfast bar for day-to-day use, and a dedicated desk/coffee bar area that adds both charm and functionality. Direct access from the kitchen to the rear deck with low-maintenance composite decking is ideal for BBQ season and makes indoor and outdoor entertaining seamless while overlooking the private backyard setting.

The main floor includes a spacious primary bedroom complete with an updated ensuite bath and walk-in closet, along with two guest bedrooms and an updated 4-piece bathroom. A functional mudroom keeps daily routines organized and provides direct access to the oversized attached double garage with ample room for vehicles, tools, and gardening equipment. Main floor laundry adds additional convenience, while the lower level offers ideal space should future laundry facilities ever be desired.

The full walkout lower level is bright and inviting with large windows and includes a guest bedroom with walk-in closet, 2-piece powder room, expansive family recreation room with a second gas fireplace, bonus flex room ideal for an office or additional bedroom, and extensive storage space.

Set on a private 2.89-acre corner lot, the gently sloping property features manicured lawns, mature trees, and a peaceful natural setting. Additional updates include windows (2011), asphalt shingles (2021), and a recently inspected and pumped septic system with new risers installed.
