Wake up to the sound of waves breaking on the shoreline and birds chirping in the beautiful gardens of this private and stylish Balinese-inspired sanctuary. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the beach as the waves pool at your feet and take in the stunning Indian Ocean sunsets. Welcome to 36 Gretel Drive Falcon, where lifestyle dreams become a daily reality.
The property is situated on a generous 798sqm elevated block which provides incredible, panoramic vistas of the ocean and Harvey estuary - the views are to die for.
The low-maintenance, fully re-ticed gardens have been designed to highlight the natural contour of the land and features terraced garden beds framed by stunning limestone feature walls, all complete with native and tropical plants, fruit trees and a grassed area for the kids.
With a custom built-in day bed in the back garden it's the ideal place to relax and unwind. The front courtyard is an oasis of its own and offers a calm and peaceful ambience amongst the tranquil water feature, beautiful palm trees and stunning Balinese-style double doors of the gatehouse. It's truly a slice of heaven!
Stepping foot inside the home and you are greeted with both elegance and charm. The amazing entry is a bold and exciting feature and soars upward, tying the house together. This special, one of a kind home has been designed by Kalamunda architect Frank Young whose inspired vision has created a free-flowing sanctuary that highlights the natural elements of the surrounding environment. He incorporated passive-solar energy efficient design principles to compliment the elevated, north-facing orientation of the block.
The first floor offers a home office which connects with the lovely family room area, opening out to the rear gardens. The office could also be used as another bedroom and this lovely space overlooks the beautiful front courtyard.
Just a few steps up the stairs to the second level which hosts two good sized bedrooms, both offer double mirrored built in robes. One of the rooms looks out over the front garden courtyard to the ocean and opens to its very own private balcony. Bliss! This level also hosts the main bathroom and laundry.
Following the flow of the home up to the next level and you will find yourself in the master suite. The impressive high feature ceilings allow for an abundance of natural light to radiate throughout this space and reflect the blue of the ocean and the warmth of the sun. The master suite offers a private balcony in the palm trees, as well as a massive walk in robe and private ensuite.
The top floor hosts the main open plan living, kitchen and dining spaces and is the true and stunning heart of the home. The architect's number one design brief was to capture the awesome views, and he succeeded in great fashion! The beautiful solid bamboo flooring and the feature bamboo high raked ceilings truly creates a spacious and spectacular yet laid-back area.
The large kitchen will bring out the best in any aspiring "Master Chef" and offers an abundance of built in cabinetry, a dishwasher, 6 burner gas stove, range hood and looks out over the glistening ocean and estuary beyond.
Entertaining will be an absolute delight with the option of two separate elevated decks which make the most of the ocean and estuary views. Enjoy a nice glass of wine and a barbecue with your family and friends as the sun slips below the Indian Ocean horizon. Some things you never tire of...
The downstairs studio would be the perfect place to run a home office or small business from. It can be accessed directly from the driveway and there is plenty of additional parking for clients. The current owners have utilised this space for their lead light glass hobby and as a general workshop, but it would also make a great arts and craft room or even a gym.
In addition, the home also has a security alarm system, and CCTV camera at the entrance which can be viewed on every TV, stainless steel security screen doors, electric exterior security shutters on doors and windows, a double garage, a 6m x 4m powered workshop and separate garden shed as well as plenty of parking for the boat or van and all your friends. It's all here!
This home also has the perfect potential for investors, by facilitating the operation of a stylish, sophisticated, high-end B&B. Or it can offer the lucky new owners the opportunity to earn generous regular rental income with longer term tenants.
