On one of the most sought after streets in Shenton Park, walking distance to the park, Rosalie Primary School and the commercial shopping and dining hub, 114 Rosalie Street is a hidden gem rich in style, character and warmth. It was architecturally designed and built from scratch only 16 years ago. It is not a renovation or extension, so unlike some of the older homes in the area, here you have the best of modern building design, techniques and materials, from the ground up.
This contemporary home incorporates the best of modern design and combines it with the best elements of more classical residences. It is rich in warm textures with quality finishes throughout. From the limestone external walls to the beautiful timber floors and window frames, high vaulted ceilings, stone benchtops, a sun filled north facing central courtyard to the dappled light-filled rear lawn and garden, it is an extremely inviting, user friendly home.
The home was designed to provide a relaxed and stylish lifestyle that works in harmony with the character of the street and suburb. The placement of windows, courtyards and the overall flow of the house maximises natural light and air. The vaulted ceilings and generous dimensions give the rooms volume whilst the finishes maintain the warmth.
Strong colours in the kitchen and feature walls bring a bold edginess, enhancing the originality of the home. Colours are of course easily changed to your own personal style and palette but we encourage you to see in person first-hand how well this all works.
The layout of the home will appeal to a very broad base offering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 3 living areas and 2 outdoor spaces. Garaging is a double carport brick paved hardstand.
Coming through the front door to the left on the northern side of the home is a spacious home office or front lounge. This room has windows to the street and well as windows and access into the central northern courtyard.
Then to the right is the main bedroom, on the ground floor and with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in robe. This is a spacious room on the southern side of the home. The ensuite has a separate shower and bath and the vanity is spacious.
Moving further into the home we come to the centrally located kitchen with a large island bench. This kitchen is an entertainer's delight and the hub of the home. On the granite topped island bench is combination of a large gas cook top, wok burner, deep fryer and steamer - all Gaggenau appliances. On the long wall unit there is another long granite bench with double sink, dish washer and a huge amount of storage space in cupboards and draws. An informal meals area is at the end of this kitchen bench. The laundry and a store room are found behind folding doors and open onto a drying courtyard.
Open plan to the kitchen is the central dining area. A double storey window and bi-fold doors open onto the central courtyard and allow seamless connectivity of the indoor and outdoor areas. This is ideal for Perth's warm climate.
Moving through and to the left is the large main ground floor lounge with fireplace, large windows and doors opening both to the central courtyard and the rear garden.
Upstairs, we have two large bedrooms. One is currently set up as a separate study/lounge and has a huge window looking east out over the rear garden. These two rooms are serviced by a bathroom with a shower, vanity and W.C.
This first class home is ideal for a couple looking to live on the one level with overflow space for visitors upstairs and is just as fabulous for a young family with kids going to either Rosalie Primary School or Shenton College just down the road who want a home that fits everyone with spaces to come together or retreat to for peace and quiet.
For Sale for the very first time by the couple who designed and built it, I invite you to come and view this weekend and see for yourself how well it all works for you.
