55 Roberts Road, Kelmscott WA 6111

What a truly rare opportunity this is. Being sold for the first time in more than half a century, this is a property that could be the future of your family's history.

WHAT IT IS
Stop for a half a second and consider what we have here.
9257sqm of beautiful land, set on the banks of the Canning River. A magnificent two storey home of around 300sqm, with a warmth and atmosphere that makes you feel like this could be the next fifty years for you too. It's a peaceful and picturesque position, offering a lifestyle that many people spend their lives imagining but never obtaining. Whilst this kind of lifestyle normally means compromising convenience and being a long way from everything, this extraordinary home is just two or three minutes from the town centre, great schools, public transport and more. Remarkably, this property is priced so that this lifestyle can be a reality now.

INSIDE
The home has tremendous living spaces, the formal lounge room with the leadlight doors and windows, the open fireplace and the high ceilings opening onto the patio and looking down to the river. It's such a beautiful room it may be enough just to see that, but it gets better.

The well-designed kitchen has a stunning outlook down the valley and to the river. You can see it all and you're perfectly elevated to take it all in.

Beyond the kitchen is the second living space, another beautifully presented room with a slow combustion wood heater and that same outlook across the property.

There are three bedrooms downstairs. There is one currently used as a study and the others which have the leadlight windows and beautiful outlook of the stunning front gardens. The downstairs bathroom is very recently renovated and whilst this is a classic home with a lot of history, no-one else's history is evident in this immaculately clean space.

Upstairs is the master suite, with a great bedroom and a large ensuite bathroom. Here we also find the massive retreat, which could be used for a multitude of purposes or redesigned as extra bedrooms if you need them. So much space gives you so many options.

OUTSIDE
2.2 acres of land running down to the bank of the Canning River is an extraordinary find. Your ideas will be your ideas, and I'll leave it to your imagination to work on those. What I can say is as the current owners have, you can apply for a licence to pump water from the river so those garden, orchard or organic veggie ideas are all a reality. Traditionally this district was and still is home to many orchards and the rich, fertile soils make it a great option. The trellises in the photos are from when the owners were growing passionfruit here.

There is a great tennis court area, which has seen some great games over the years. In reality, those days are a way back now, but you can re-surface the court. If tennis isn't your game, you still have a massive area of approximately 500sqm that is flat and easy to use and would make the most impressive site for a new workshop.

The gardens established around the home are magnificent and the alfresco area that overlooks the property is a wonderful place to start your day or entertain your friends and family.

WHAT NEXT
For sale for the first time in over fifty years. If you miss it this time, it'll likely be your grandkids that get the next opportunity to buy it. How incredibly valuable will it be then? As the blocks get smaller and the houses get closer can you imagine how highly sought after a property like this will be in the future. It's a landmark, home that promises to reward another family with a wonderful future.
