Charm and character abound in this delightfully renovated 1910 heritage-listed home, where rich history combines with modern amenities to allow the very best of both worlds.
Having long become a classic, grand architectural features include high ceilings, sash and stained glass windows, lots of natural light, bleached jarrah floors and great proportions.
Enter the property through a secure remote-controlled gate and admire the stunning wraparound bullnose veranda with turn posts. A double carport at the end of the drive discreetly houses a man cave in the above roof cavity.
A number of room configurations means this home offers three to four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two studies, a lounge room and dining area. An extremely spacious kitchen is home to Miele appliances, while the adjoining laundry surprises with copious storage.
A large conservatory with high-pitched ceiling is positioned to the rear of the property to enjoy panoramic views of the established garden, which includes a flourishing vegetable patch and water feature. The space is fully enclosed for winter, but can open up entirely to the north for the warmth of the winter sun.
A separate cottage in the rear garden features a bathroom and wardrobe, creating great privacy and comfort for staying guests, as well as extra storage space in the roof.
A sympathetic extension was made to create a new master suite wing to the far corner of the property, complete with a walk-in robe, luxuriously deep bathtub and direct garden access.
The home has played host to numerous gatherings, including children's birthday parties, 40th, 50th and most recently even an 80th party, weddings, christenings and graduations.
When it comes to location, it really is hard to beat. Wake up to the smell of croissants baking from a delightful French cafe just doors away, or stroll over to Claremont Quarter, Swanbourne train station, Scotch College, the river or beach. Local conveniences include a post office, doctors, dentists, physiotherapists, counsellors and cafes galore, as well as a primary school, Allen Park, Creswell Park, tennis courts and the Davies Road pool.
If the weather doesn't permit a walk, simply hop on the bus just outside the front door and let it take you straight in to Claremont.
The renovation of this home has seen it completely re-wired and re-plumbed, while established gardens are fully reticulated with bore. Modern additions include NBN installation and a Sonos music system.
