52 Johnston Street, Peppermint Grove WA 6011

Sitting proudly at 52 Johnston Street, Peppermint Grove, this remarkable property embodies the essence of grandeur and sophistication. As you approach the majestic facade of this stately mansion, it becomes evident why Georgian architecture is celebrated as the epitome of grace and refinement.

Positioned gracefully on an expansive 2,114 square-meter corner lot, this estate boasts sprawling grounds adorned with meticulous parterre gardens, manicured lawns, enchanting fountains, a pristine swimming pool, and a capacious pavilion - the perfect sanctuary for year-round resort-style leisure. Additionally, a generously sized, fully autonomous apartment is seamlessly attached to the main residence.

Inspired by the classical architecture of ancient Greece and Rome, the Georgian style is characterized by its unwavering commitment to symmetry and proportion. Pediments, arches, columns, soaring ceilings, Palladian windows, and ornate crown mouldings are all hallmarks of this architectural genre, and this property embodies these features exquisitely.

This home serves as an idyllic backdrop for any occasion, whether hosting a diplomatic gathering or a lively children's birthday party. Its opulent formal rooms, coupled with bright and expansive informal spaces, ample accommodations, and meticulously landscaped grounds, offer an unparalleled lifestyle for a bustling, joyous family that revels in hosting guests.

Yet, this residence transcends mere opulence. For those with an eye for detail, the superior craftsmanship and attention to detail will leave an indelible impression. From the resplendent American Oak floors and show-stopping cabinetry to the Stucco wall finishes, a ceiling adorned with the hand-painted artistry of Jana Vodesil Baruffi, and a sublime alabaster fireplace, every element surpasses expectations.

The intricately designed ceilings alone are deserving of a coffee table masterpiece. Exquisitely finished Stucco walls and masterful plasterwork meld seamlessly to create a truly magnificent interior. The Stucco, meticulously applied, exudes a polished marble-like finish. Its smooth, cool texture, along with the richly hued, burnished silken surfaces, transforms each wall into a unique work of art.

A closer examination of the decorative plaster mouldings reveals the resplendent gleam of 24-carat gold accents, meticulously applied by an artisan who honed their craft in the Royal palaces of London.
The sheer beauty and quality of the window treatments could fill a dedicated volume. Striking designs, sumptuous fabrics, and impeccable craftsmanship converge to adorn each room to perfection.

Situated in proximity to the Swan River, a mere five-minute drive from the beach, and conveniently close to schools, a yacht club, golf courses, as well as the vibrant cafes and boutiques of Cottesloe and Claremont, this iconic trophy residence stands as a masterpiece in the heart of Perth's most distinguished residential enclave.
