67 Lenori Road, Gooseberry Hill WA 6076

The last remaining home and land parcel of the original estate of Mr and Mrs Faye. Originally part of a much larger parcel, the estate has over time been sectioned off and sold leaving the original home now on 7072 sqm, arguably the best part of the estate.


In partnership with his father-in-law, Claude De Bernales, Ennermond Faye and his wife Daphne chose this site amongst all others to maximise the amazing views on offer. When inspected, they knew that the land along Lenori Rd could be steep and rugged, apart from the section that they chose. This location is one of the very few that afforded a sweeping view along with a large useable area, to which to establish their dream "home in the hills". The richer soils now washed from the hilltop gave them something to build on, something to grow the garden and an orchard they established over ensuing years.


It was on this site in 1935 they built their dream home which we now offer today. Still rich in many of its original features and additions to make a comfortable modern home.


The house is typical of the era and features soaring high ceilings and decorative cornices, jarrah flooring and a large fireplace (now gas). The home has been extended to 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms plus powder bathroom, making it perfect for modern living and for the family.


There is a large living area also incorporating a dining area, enclosed sun room, modern kitchen and the most amazing wide verandah, leading to a beautiful below ground pool nestled into the garden. Almost 2 acres (7072 sqm) for the kids to roam - The property is Zoned R5 which also allows for further sub-divison if required.


The house has good access from Lenori Rd, although the sweeping driveway to the front has gone (room to bring it back). There is a large workshop for the handyperson in the family a quick walk uphill brings you to Gooseberry Hill shops.


What an opportunity to breathe new life into this amazing property! Without a doubt, this home occupies one of the best locations on the escarpment. The original owners pretty much had the pick of the hills but chose this site. Why?? Because it was the best.
