4 Wedderburn Place, Ascot WA 6104

More than a century of old-world charm and character pervades this circa-1904-built 5 bedroom 3 bathroom tri-level residence on a generous 897sqm (approx.) corner land holding in the most tranquil of cul-de-sac settings, just footsteps away from our picturesque Swan River and sprawling riverside parklands.

This unique heritage-listed property doubles as the "Invercloy" estate and was designed in the Australian Federation Queen Anne-style of architecture, with a very long history behind it - including almost being utilised as a hotel in its early years. In recent times, every space in this very special home has been lovingly cared for, restored and/or updated to be able to marry Australian history with modern living.

Soaring 3.8-metre-high ceilings grace the ground floor, with 3.6-metre-high ceilings upstairs complementing beautiful tuck-pointing to the house itself. The original Jarrah wooden floors have been repaired, restored and polished, whilst new period chandeliers throughout each room of the property are just as impressive as the restored fireplaces in each room.

Federation-style east-facing wraparound patios to the ground and first floors allow somewhere to sit, relax and unwind without a worry in the world. There are also fully-enclosed brickwork garden walls surrounding the entire property for extra security and overall peace of mind.

The spacious parlour - or family room - off the entry will delight you with its east alcove turret, gas fireplace, oversized kick-boards and large feature arches, with large double arches, picture rails and window alcove just some of the features of the massive living room across the receiving hall, also boasting access to the northern side yard and wraparound patios, as well as a buffet entry area into the most elegant of formal-dining rooms. The latter can host a 10/12-person table at minimum, as well as a grand piano. It also has a grand fireplace recess, a large mantle and access to the western alfresco, receiving hall and kitchen - via a recessed hallway.

The gorgeous kitchen itself is the headline act of the ground floor with its restored fireplace, a private kitchen garden (plus double parking spaces), an extra-large pantry with a huge commercial-grade refrigerator, access into a powder room from here and access into a galley-style laundry room with bonus storage, plus under-stair storage for good measure.

Aside from an amazing gentlemen's room with a corner bar, a pool table, reverse-cycle air-conditioning and an antique fireplace, the pick of the first-floor sleeping quarters is indeed a sumptuous east-facing master-bedroom suite with large windows, its own antique fireplace, beautiful chandeliers and a superb ensuite bathroom - modern tiles, double vanity, low-hob shower and all. The top-floor loft doubles as a fifth bedroom with built-in and walk-in wardrobes, as well as an intimate "third" ensuite bathroom with a shower, vanity and toilet. The perfect guest suite, if there ever was one.

At the rear, the fabulous outdoor alfresco-entertaining area has its own barbecue and mounted television, with its roofing and decking restored with period iron-lace accents, imported from Victoria. Its exquisite Climbing Rose is approximately over a century old, with the lovely backdrop provided by a fish pond, mature fruit trees (inclusive of apricot, peach, nectarine and miniature pear), a Bay Leaf Tree and grape and passionfruit vines.

The stunning waterside Garvey Park sits only metres from your front door, whilst you will absolutely love and adore this exemplary abode's very close proximity to Perth Airport, public transport, major arterial roads, the Swan Valley, Ascot Racecourse and even Burswood - for easy access to Crown Towers, our world-class Optus Stadium and the city. The list goes on and on. This one simply has to be seen, to be believed!
