Set back from Gugeri Street on a rear block sits this treasure in the heart of Claremont, just five minutes from the suburb?s premier shopping precinct. With Cottesloe Beach and UWA only ten minutes away, a train station down the road and easy access to bus stops and bike lanes, this is a well-connected home that epitomises effortless Claremont living.
Discreetly positioned at the end of a long driveway, the understated exterior of the home belies what is waiting inside. Extensively renovated and extended in 2012, the result is a clever, modern home which can accommodate a large family with ease, all the while preserving the home?s low maintenance charm. With 4/5 (or 4 plus a study) spacious bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 roomy living spaces and a large entertainer?s alfresco, this compact home packs a serious punch.
Those who love to dine outdoors will be delighted by the sunny alfresco and courtyard at the rear, a private entertaining space framed by flowering hibiscus bushes. This space can be enjoyed all year round given its position out of the wind and its large undercover alfresco area, while the unshaded areas allow for a plethora of potted plants.
The gorgeous kitchen overlooks the bright courtyard and features a large stone topped island bench for easy meal preparation and a breakfast bar. With a 900mm stainless steel oven, a gas cooktop and plenty of storage, the kitchen will delight the home chef. The dining space adjoins the kitchen, creating a warm, open plan hub to this home. Just off the entry, there is a spacious lounge room.
The bedrooms are all very generous in size, accommodating queen or king size beds. Downstairs, there are two large bedrooms, one with its own walk in robe and ensuite, the other with built in robes and a view of the rear courtyard. A second bathroom with a separate toilet and a study which could be used as a 5th bedroom (with built in robes) are positioned between these bedrooms.
Upstairs, there are 2 generously proportioned bedrooms, with a large walk in robe attached to the larger of the two, while a sizeable bathroom and separate toilet services the upper level. A huge upstairs lounge offers a relaxing retreat from the action downstairs, along with excellent flexibility.
With 2 living spaces, one upstairs and one down, an extensive outdoor entertaining space, 4/5 spacious bedrooms and 2 car ports (plus parking for another 3 cars in the driveway), this home has all the essentials despite its smaller block size.
A precious gem in a convenient location, this property will suit a variety of buyers, from large families to downsizers searching for that elusive low maintenance home with plenty of space. A rare find in this part of the western suburbs.
