From its symmetrical dollhouse-like façade to its haute industrial extension, 94 Hensman Road is a home that stylishly fuses classic and contemporary to offer its new owners an immediately liveable piece of old Subiaco.
Built in 1906, this single storey home has retained its period features amidst a sympathetic renovation which delivers modern convenience. Externally, the bullnose verandah, decorative entry gable, double hung windows, and leadlights framing the front door set the tone for the original rooms inside. The traditional central hallway gives on to all bedrooms and a formal front living room (currently presented as a study), with lofty ceilings and lustrous floorboards throughout. The principal bedroom suite includes a walk-in wardrobe, as well as a sophisticated bathroom with freestanding bathtub, with the original fireplaces beautifully integrated into the modernised spaces. The formal living room features built-in bookshelves on each side of the original fireplace, while the two secondary bedrooms each offer built-in wardrobes, with one incorporating a study area instead of a fireplace. The family bathroom completes the original section of the house, with the same sleek fixtures and restrained presentation as the principal bedroom's ensuite.
Step through the pivot glass door and into the bold, bright, open plan living extension. Utilising the best features of industrial chic, with exposed beams, raw brick, polished concrete, and warm timber, this space perfectly offsets the formal front with its casual elegance. The galley-style kitchen is fitted with Miele ovens, cooktop and dishwasher, complete with a discreet scullery at one end. There is ample space for separated dining and living, with clerestory windows and an internal courtyard bathing the rooms in natural light. This area opens out onto the alfresco dining area through sliding glass doors, which features a timber-lined ceiling (with ceiling fan), and a built-in barbeque and pizza oven, with the surrounding courtyard greenery softening the space. Accessed from the rear lane, the good-sized garage also offers a workshop and laundry space.
