This 4 bed, 3 bath home epitomizes relaxed living on a spacious, family friendly, elevated 1183sqm block with a great pool, good lawn area and garaging for up to 5 cars in two separate garages.
Set in one of the suburb's most prestigious enclaves offering generous internal spaces, brimming with character and providing tree-top views, this warm home, delivers family living at its best.
Entering through the double, leadlight front door you immediately sense the history and authenticity.
Hallmarks of exquisite character usually associated with the finest of Mt Lawley homes are all here, preserved, fully functional and in glorious detail.
A formal lounge room of grand proportions runs off the entry.
Its sparkling chandelier, large French windows and central fire place, with a beautiful curved surround reminiscent of the art deco era, set the scene for a glamorous space that you will love.
Peaceful and romantic, the deluxe master bedroom, on the opposite side of the hall, enjoys a beautiful fire place and light that streams through the carefully dressed jarrah bay window and door, leading to a front garden courtyard.
Two pretty queen-sized minor bedrooms with build-in storage are located nearby together with a practical character-filled family bathroom, with claw-foot bath tub, double vanity, subway tiling, gilded mirror, WC and over-sized shower.
At the far end of this wing is another charming king-sized bedroom, with garden views, built-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom with separate WC.
This is a flexible space that could serve equally well as a guest suite, playroom or an alternative master bedroom.
A practical laundry separates the bedrooms within this zone.
The scale of the open plan kitchen, dining and family room will ensure it serves as an inclusive and easy-living space for your family to share all those important milestones, in total comfort.
Consistent with the aesthetic of the original dwelling, it flows seamlessly yet opens up the back of the home to maximise the glorious light from the site's north-western rear.
The lucky occupants can enjoy leafy views of endless sunsets directly from the banks of wood-framed windows in this area, such is the extent of the elevation here.
The large country-style kitchen integrates perfectly with the era of the home, offering a happy, functional cooking space with plenty of storage and a central island bench.
The beautiful swimming pool is in full view from the kitchen and main living space with large surrounds for open-air, pool-side dining.
A thoughtfully constructed double-storey building at the rear of the property is the “icing on the cake”.
At ground level, this multi-purpose area, with banks of bi-folds doors opening to the garden, can be a serious “man-cave” with its fitted workshop, a perfect “party-barn” given its orientation to the other backyard amenities, an undercover play space or used as additional garaging/storage.
The second level is set at tree-top level, giving gorgeous views to the city skyline from the large room incorporating a long customised window seat and a full bathroom.
This level also opens up completely to the elements but, when closed, offers a private hide-away for work, relaxation or to accommodate your special guests or au pair. This room can become a fantastic 5th bedroom if desired.
Plenty of land remains for the large stretch of lawn with multiple adjacent shady play and relaxation spaces beneath the established flame and flourishing citrus trees.
Lending itself perfectly to entertaining, given the enormity and practical layout of every space, the current owners have enjoyed the ease with which they could share their home during the largest of social gatherings.
Inspection of this home will impress you.
