Hidden at the rear of a long, private driveway lined with flourishing greenery, a bespoke Valley residence has all the qualities of a forever home. Built in 2010 by multi-award-winning NuLook Homes, the inspired design flows for family life with an endearing nod to the current owner's love of travel – from the tin-clad exterior reminiscent of homes in the Kimberley, to the hand-carved Indian timber, and subtle Moroccan influences. The laidback holiday feel eases you into a peaceful home environment, while the location is superb for its centrality to just about anything: parks, schools, cafes, shops, public transport, the river, beaches or Freo.

Inside, an expanse of northern glass floods the open-plan layout in natural light, and the high ceilings create a wonderful sense of space above the boho-luxe interiors. The simple white kitchen is fitted with high-quality Miele appliances including a teppanyaki grill, induction cooktop, electric oven, rangehood and dishwasher, and the huge island is perfect for prepping meals and interacting with guests at the same time. Outside, the courtyard is a magical oasis: Balinese-style seating beneath the canopy of a leafy, yellow-bloomed Tipuana tree, heated plunge pool, bamboo screening and plenty of sunny nooks to sit and enjoy the serenity, surrounded by olive trees, frangipani and more greenery.

Louvre panels adjust to the breezes, and white plantation shutters to the sunlight, while under-floor heating throughout is a welcome addition in winter. Head up the jarrah stairs to three serene bedrooms for the kids, each with built-in robes, split system air-conditioning and lush, wool-blend carpet, and a bathroom in neutral tones with a handy laundry chute. Nearby, a nook can be used for anything; play zone, second home office, or teenager's retreat, with a 'Christmas tree' storage room above the stairs.

Below, polished concrete floors continue across the timber to the lower level. A second carpeted lounge room is ideal for parents with a study adjacent that makes a calming space for those who work from home – plus, there's the option of double doors that lead to the exterior. A guest powder room, laundry, and whisper-quiet master retreat with walk-in robes, air-conditioning and ensuite complete this floor, while outside two rainwater tanks complement the energy efficient design, alongside roof solar panels. Finally, the double garage has a workspace for home handyman projects, with room to park additional vehicles along the secure, gated driveway.

It's everything you'd hope for from a peaceful Valley sanctuary – light, flow and space – and an ambience of blissful tranquillity in one of the best locations.
