House description
“One Of A Kind! Re-Loved, Restored and Revamped!”
Stunning sustainability and an impressive solar-passive design are some of the key elements of this unique 5 bedroom 3 bathroom circa-1950s Swanbourne residence, nestled just 300 metres from the beach and well protected behind the first dune whilst ensuring that virtually every single classic feature of yesteryear from the house in its original form has been recycled, reappointed and repurposed for eco-friendly coastal living.
From custom handmade doors and windows, solid Jarrah floorboards, decking and trimmings and reutilised brick paving to Plyform built-in wardrobes, refurbished vanities and reconstituted natural flooring, raw materials are commonplace throughout this exquisite abode that really is a home of the future, as much as the past. Even its outdoor living spaces have been lauded by the best, with the property's native leafy, established and reticulated Western Australian gardens set to be highlighted in both television and magazine form by "Gardening Australia" by the time 2020 rolls around.
Feature ceiling cornices and a wood burning fireplace grace a welcoming front lounge and meals area which is separated from main dining room by a gorgeous central kitchen where sparkling stone bench tops and quality modern appliances sit underneath the exposed original roof structure. Upstairs in the main residence and away from the other three bedrooms lies an enchanting master suite with an abundance of natural sunlight, a sumptuous ensuite bathroom and heaps of built-in storage, whilst downstairs you will find the laundry and workshop (or single lock-up garage).
At the rear, a magnificent separate living quarters consists of its own bedroom and private ensuite, double doors out to a recycled Jarrah deck for entertaining and a full kitchen and open-plan living and eating area where a cleverly-concealed European-style laundry makes the most of the wall space on offer and four built-in bunk beds can be halved to create a study nook down below. The accommodation is perfect for guests, as an art studio, as a teenager's or adults retreat or as a granny flat for parents.
Backing onto sought-after Clement Street and being so close to the Indian Ocean that you can absorb the sensual sea breezes on a daily basis, this spectacularly-transformed gem enjoys the best of everything in terms of a dream location, offering an enviable lifestyle just footsteps away from the beach.
