This spectacular property in Mount Lawley's dress-circle has been stunningly transformed, and seamlessly blends original period features with modern aesthetics. Beyond the white picket fence, the facade has been restored to reveal the original, beautifully re-pointed red brick, with the old veranda replaced with timber decking. A large, decades-old frangipani tree is a magnificent feature of the front yard, as is the gorgeous tessellated-tile pathway leading to the entrance.
The primary residence contains many features we expect to see in Mount Lawley period homes - soaring ceilings, timber window frames, original polished jarrah flooring, decorative cornices and skirting boards. A spacious parent's retreat overlooks the sunny rear alfresco deck through sliding plantation shutter doors. In addition, there are three large bedrooms - one of which features an original art deco-style brick fireplace and would also work as a formal lounge, games room, or home office.
The open plan family and meals area flow through to the rear deck via stacked bi-fold doors, melding indoor and outdoor living. The stunning, contemporary kitchen boasts clean lines, stainless steel appliances, expansive Caesarstone benchtops, glass splashback and an enviable amount of cupboard space. Walk through the adjoining scullery, which houses the walk-in pantry, built-in wine storage and double fridge recess, to the laundry where you'll find heaps of storage and ample bench space.
The backyard separates the main home from the studio, and has lovely shaded areas and plenty of room for the kids and dog to play. There are established lemon and olive trees, raised herb and vegetable garden beds and a thriving grapevine retained from the original house.
The modern, one-bedroom, one-bathroom studio is fully self-contained and offers a variety of options to suit your family - granny flat, teenage retreat or use as an AirBnB for an additional income stream. It contains modern & period design elements and enjoys its own alfresco deck, shaded by a timber pergola with the pretty, winding grapevine.
Vehicle access to both buildings is via the triple remote garage in the rear laneway, with the studio having private, digital code entry.
The residents of Clotilde Street and this quiet, leafy neighbourhood are a friendly, close-knit community. Perfectly situated to access desirable schools, Hyde Park, public transport and The Beaufort Street entertainment precinct within a few minutes walk. Opportunities like this don't often present.
