On the river side of Victoria Avenue, on a quiet cul-de-sac, mere metres from the Swan River's edge and beautiful Mrs Herbert's Park, this superbly renovated two-storey character home effortlessly combines timeless elegance with modern luxury.
Offering 5 bedrooms (or 4 bedrooms plus a study), 3 bathrooms, an extra-large double lock-up garage plus a drive through Port Cochere, a swimming pool, timber decking and lawn, this is a picturesque offering in a blue-chip location. The 718sqm lot is ideally sized to give you everything you want, without the burden of too much green space to look after.
A fantastic design feature is the self-contained suite/apartment ground floor, with its own separate entrance. This is ideal for older children, parents or guests. With it's own kitchenette complete with integrated electric Fisher and Paykel appliances (a dishwasher included) and dining space, it opens into the rear garden. It is separated from the main living areas on the ground floor by the laundry and garage, so it is very private, quiet and independent, whilst still being part of the home.
Coming in through the front door, you are first introduced to soaring high ceilings, charming original wooden Jarrah floorboards, decorative ceiling cornices and nostalgic skirting boards that define the original era of the home, now refreshed and in immaculate condition. Enhancements include custom pull-out under-stair storage complemented by a large walk-in storeroom.
Double sliding internal doors reveal the open-plan living and kitchen area that looks out over the alfresco entertaining deck and pool as well as the front terrace a sweeping verdant green lawn. Sets of glass doors allow for brilliant flow and connection of the inside with the outside living and garden areas. A feature at the front of the home is the mature Royal Poinciana tree, famous throughout the neighbourhood for its stunning canopy and beautiful seasonal flowers.
The kitchen is a delight in design, with a custom breakfast table, sleek stone bench tops, a "Zip" tap, Miele Induction-cooktop, double-oven and semi-integrated-dishwasher appliances, an integrated Falmec range hood and an integrated double-door fridge/freezer combination make up the superb gourmet kitchen.
For larger gatherings, there is a formal dining room adjacent and open plan to the kitchen.
Upstairs is home to the main bedroom suite as well as the secondary bedrooms and a rooftop terrace.
The main suite is in a prime location looking out into the lush green gardens, with a Juliet balcony and aspects towards the river. A king-sized room that has been opulently finished, with a gas fireplace and lux ensuite bathroom. The ensuite boasts a free-standing Victoria + Albert bath, twin vanities, a separate shower and W.C. Built in robes complete the suite.
The generous second and third bedrooms, also have built-in robes. One shares a similar outlook as the main bedroom, with a lush green outlook and a Juliet balcony. The other has abundant natural light.
Our 4th bedroom upstairs also has built-in robes and opens out onto the stunning rooftop terrace. This room has also worked very well in the past as a study. These secondary bedrooms are serviced by a fantastic family bathroom with a separate bath, shower, vanity and W.C.
The enormous roof top terrace is a brilliant, elevated outdoor entertaining zone. Fully tiled and connected down to the private lawn, gardens and pool area via the cool circular staircase, it's been the scene for many a gathering. A versatile space, the vibe may be chilled out on a warm Perth summer evening, or pumping as part of a party zone connected to the lower level when entertaining.
A distinctive presence on the corner, this unique property is incredibly convenient to the riverside parks, and some of the most sought-after schools, shopping and lifestyle amenities in Perth.
