56 Clarence Street, Perth TAS 7300

Better by far than being merely converted, Perth's former St Andrew's church c1878, has embraced its re-invention and assumed its new role as a residence with an energy that's undeniable and a flair for family life that's unforgettable.

The challenge of introducing contemporary ideas to classical spaces has been brilliantly solved, not by attempting to integrate living areas and accommodation zones into the traditional church but by deciding to separate them so that a light-filled extension now discreetly accompanies the original building. The result is a stunning success!

Painstakingly renovated to ensure its structural integrity and preserve its aesthetic appeal, St Andrew's soaring ceilings and beautiful period floorboards frame proportions that feature a refined, flexible retreat while three brilliantly incorporated bedrooms and two flawlessly finished bathrooms include an elevated main suite that sees the sun through spectacular stained glass.

In their own zone, virtually invisible from the street, the adjoining new dimensions confirm the architectural skill with which S. Group has treated this landmark address. Northern light flows through a wall of sliding glass to fill a living/dining domain that features sub-floor heated polished concrete and an open-plan kitchen where concrete benches, stainless steel appliances and ample cabinetry reflect the commitment to quality that is this home's signature.

A clever office, fabulous deck, substantial gardens and a striking, macrocarpa clad double garage further enhance a property that's moved with time, adapted to the era and adopted an identity that's clever, captivating and sensationally compatible with modern day demands.

Appreciate St Andrew's - an address that's ideally positioned to take every advantage of Perth, a town where the sense of country character and the friendly community feel are complemented by a freshly completed bypass that cuts traffic volume, minimises the commute time to central Launceston and the airport and raises rewarding ongoing growth prospects.

From lifestyle perspectives and investment points of view, Perth has never been more attractive than right now. The opportunity to make the most of such a location, and such a memorable property, represents a strategic stake in a setting where significant upside has just been achieved - and there's so much more to come!
