UPPER OTWAY
In a tranquil pocket of old Swanbourne, this 1920's classic has been seamlessly extended to create a big, beautiful family home with grand rooms and ocean glimpses, all set amongst lovely gardens. French doors everywhere open up to the leafy surrounds, while the upstairs zone of master suite, office and large living area embraces the long vista of ocean and sky.
In a quiet street lined with peppermint trees and heritage homes, this location is the perfect combination of seclusion and convenience: a short stroll to the train, Swanbourne Primary and to Scotch College, with Swanbourne Village and Claremont Quarter shopping and restaurants in walking distance and the UWA bus around the corner.
On a corner block with picket fence and white roses, the front verandah leads to a leadlight door opening to a gracious, practical family home full of light-filled, flexible spaces and heritage features, including jarrah floors, fireplaces, high ceilings and bow windows. Large bedrooms share the delightful garden outlooks that are such a feature of this home, and the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space has a series of French doors to the outdoor living and entertaining spaces. Tiered gardens are abundant with fruit trees - from mulberry and mandarin to pear and pomegranate - plus an outdoor shower, a pond and a timber workshop for the gardener or handyman.
Up the jarrah stairs is a breathtaking space with the ocean glimpses laid out before you. Here is a large living area, office and master suite, all making the most of the vista and all with French doors opening to the large second-storey verandah looking out over the Norfolk pines to water and sky. See the stars and the ocean from your bedroom and enjoy the comfort of a well-designed retreat with walk-through robe and a big white bathroom with bath.
This is classic Swanbourne, combining historic character with a sensitive extension to create an easy, spacious family home full of atmosphere. With those fabulous ocean glimpses upstairs, serene green surroundings downstairs and a quiet location where the children can walk to school and handy to everything, this is a rare find.
