209 Hamersley Road, Subiaco WA 6008

This home is in a word, sublime. Commencing life as a worker?s cottage in the early 1900s, it has been restored and extended into a sensational home by Studio 53 architects. The reworked home received an award from the Australian Institute of Architects in 2014.

You will adapt to living in this home with ease. The spaces flow seamlessly from indoors to out, and there are numerous ways in which areas can be configured to best suit your needs. The main hub of the home forms around the central kitchen, with its adjacent living area that integrates completely with the outdoors. You will enjoy afternoons around the pool, winter evenings around your outdoor fireplace, indoor/outdoor dining in your alfresco dining area, or relaxing with a good book in the family zone overlooking the pool.

The fixtures and fittings in this home are of exceptional quality, and can only be fully appreciated by viewing in person. Elements such as the handmade tiles used in the kitchen and bathrooms, the double glazed bi-fold doors, the professional level WOLF stove, the plumbing fixtures, floating cabinetry and fibre optic lighting in the pool all contribute to the sense of quality.

Materials from the original home were re-used and recycled, reinforcing the idea of a restoration. The upper level addition has been encased in a perforated screen that provides shade and protection from the elements, with the screen pattern inspired by the original floral carpet and fireplace tiles. Illumination at night provides joy to passers-by. The external timberwork, moulded plaster, handmade tiles and flannel flower glass in the original house provide a distinct arts and crafts aesthetic.

All in all, this is a truly exceptional home. If you are looking for an amazing, flexible, architecturally interesting home of great quality, then you have found it here.
