3 Jennifer Road, Morley

Sometimes, you only realize what you need in a home when you find it. A place for the desk. A second bathroom. Somewhere to leave a hobby out without having to pack it away before dinner. Small things, perhaps, but they can make a real difference to how you live.

At 3 Jennifer Road, these everyday details are part of the appeal. The home is modest in size, with useful spaces that give you options. As you walk through, it is easy to start thinking about how each part could fit into your own day.

The living room is a natural place to begin. There is a fireplace that gives the room a focal point, and air conditioning for everyday comfort. Picture your favourite chair, a film after dinner or a quiet evening with a book. Somewhere to settle in when the day is done.

Beside it, the office area gives your desk a place of its own. If you work from home, you can leave the laptop set up and return to it the next morning. If you do not, it could be a useful spot for homework, household paperwork or planning your next holiday.

It also means the dining table can remain a dining table. No shifting chargers, papers and unfinished work before you sit down to eat. Having somewhere for these things may seem like a small detail, but it is one you are likely to appreciate.

The kitchen sits beside the separate dining area, keeping cooking and meals close together. Breakfast before school, a quick lunch or dinner at the end of a busy day all have their place. You can imagine someone making a cup of tea while another sits nearby and talks about their day.

At the rear, the bonus room adds another possibility. Perhaps you enjoy sewing, drawing or working on something you would rather leave out between sessions. Perhaps the children need somewhere for their toys. Or you might simply like a quiet spot to read away from the television.

There is no need to give this room a fixed purpose from the beginning. What suits you now may be different in a few years. Having an extra space lets you make those changes without having to give up a bedroom or take over the main living area.

The three bedrooms include a main bedroom with a built-in robe.

Air conditioning serves all three, bringing comfort on warm Perth nights. The main bathroom has both a bath and a separate shower, giving you the choice of a quick morning routine or a longer soak.

Then there is the second bathroom. When two people are getting ready at once, or family comes to stay, you quickly understand its value. It is another practical addition that makes sharing a home easier.

A double carport provides covered parking, while the separate shed gives tools and garden equipment somewhere to go.

And then you step outside.

The huge, fully fenced garden and play area could be the part that wins you over. There is room for children to run, kick a ball and make up their own games. Room for the dog to stretch its legs. And space for you to enjoy a little more of life outdoors.

Perhaps you have been wanting to grow vegetables or plant a garden of your own. Perhaps there is a trampoline waiting for a place to go. Here, you can start picturing those ideas as part of your everyday life.

On a Saturday morning, you may find there is less reason to rush out. The children have somewhere to play, you have a garden to enjoy, and the coffee can come outside with you. Sometimes, a good weekend starts with having nowhere else you need to be.

The alfresco runs along the front of the living area, with doors connecting the two. Add an outdoor table and chairs, and you have somewhere for breakfast, a casual lunch or friends who stay into the afternoon. It is a place to pause and enjoy the outdoor space around you.

You may arrive thinking about bedrooms and bathrooms. You may leave thinking about your desk, your hobby or what you would plant first.

Come and walk through, spend a little time outside and see how it could work for you.
