10 Smith Street, Furnissdale WA

Space to slow down. Room to do more. There's something about being near the water that changes everything. At 10 Smith Street, you feel it straight away. Tucked quietly one street back from the gentle flow of the Serpentine River, life here moves differently - mornings start slower, afternoons stretch longer, and home becomes somewhere you genuinely want to be. Set across a rare half-acre (2,023sqm) in Furnissdale, this is space in its truest form. Space for kids to roam barefoot. Space for weekend projects. Space to gather, unwind, and grow over time. The home carries that same ease. A modern cottage at heart, where original character meets carefully considered updates to elevate style whilst keeping the homes original soul. Light-filled living, soft neutral tones, and a layout designed for both connection and retreat, create a home that simply feels good to be in. At the centre, the renovated kitchen connects everything - overlooking the main living space where a cosy wood fire and charming slate floors brings warmth in winter and reverse-cycle air conditioning keeps things comfortable year-round. A second living zone with original timber floorboards and soft sheer curtains create an inviting space to retreat after a long day, whilst the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry, all recently updated and thoughtfully designed to elevate everyday living without losing the home's authentic charm. The huge 4x4.5m opulent ensuite, fit with an incredible circular soaking bathtub will quickly become your sanctuary hideaway for the ultimate relaxation experience, everyday. Step outside and the scale reveals itself. A wide-open backyard, new patio, and extensive groundwork already in place give you freedom - to entertain, expand, or simply enjoy the space as it is. And then there's the shed. Substantial, functional, and fully equipt with 4,5m high clearance, 4T rated hoist, plumbing and full power - it's a rare inclusion that adds another layer of versatility and enjoyment for those lifestyle projects you can't wait to get stuck into. This isn't just a home. It's a shift in pace. A place to breathe. A lifestyle that feels a world away - yet remains within easy reach of everything.
