A beautiful home with a grand past, now renovated and made for memorable summers and cosy winters - this luxurious family home has everything you need and more.
Built in 1908, it's one of West Leederville's original homes, with a wide central hallway, high ceilings and generous proportions throughout the original house, which includes a stunning dining and living room with a gas fireplace that is ideal for big gatherings and cosy winter nights.
This original home is elevated by a modern extension spanning three levels, with a north-facing backyard, swimming pool and more living space.
The kitchen is designed for keen cooks, family meals and entertaining, with solid American cherrywood cabinetry, a central island breakfast bar and abundant storage, including a built-in office desk. It links to a sheltered deck with a vaulted, timber-lined ceiling and built-in barbecue overlooking the pool - great for keeping an eye on the kids.
Perfect northerly orientation and strategically placed windows allow breezes through, warm the home up in winter and keep everything cool in summer. You'll also love the elevated views over Lake Monger.
Families with older children will appreciate the lower level, which has a games room that links to the back garden. There's also a study, laundry with toilet, cellar and huge storeroom. Further storage is found in the double garage's mezzanine level.
Bedrooms are separated, with three beautiful original rooms at the front of the house, sharing a family bathroom, and a parents' retreat upstairs, with an ensuite, walk-in robe and peaceful views over Lake Monger. A vaulted ceiling, small fridge for a cup of tea and long views make this a true retreat.
Gardens are low maintenance but very useable, and include a pretty walled front garden and a lawned backyard and swimming pool with rear laneway access, plus a second alfresco area that's great for feeding the kids and their friends.
West Leederville will always offer a winning combination of quiet streets and the natural beauty of Lake Monger with a convenient central location, close to cafes and restaurants, shopping, trains and buses, the beach and the CBD.
Ideal for entertaining, for everyone to gather together or retreat to their own areas, this is a home that has been extended with care by its current owners and offers an idyllic lifestyle in a coveted suburb.
