Nestled in the leafy streets of Subiaco lies a hidden gem 'Ercildoune' on a huge 698sqm that offers a unique opportunity to become a part of history, whilst enjoying the very best contemporary lifestyle. This stunning extended character residence reflects the grandeur and timeless elegance of a bygone era.
Dating back to 1906, this heritage-listed property has provided seclusion and sanctuary for over 100 years. As you enter the private and secure front yard there is a verandah to enjoy and watch the world go by. A timeless stained glass front door leads through to a naturally cool home with jarrah flooring and beautiful high ceilings throughout the original structure.
The front of the home hosts four grandly proportioned rooms - offering three bedrooms within its heritage walls, all complete with original features. The spacious master bedroom speaks to the affluent origins of this home, and provides a fireplace and beautifully crafted decorative ceiling features. Large sash windows bring a glimpse of green and a further sense of space making this the ultimate oasis. A walk in robe and ensuite ensures a delicate blend of history with modern comforts. The two remaining bedrooms are spacious doubles, each with its own unique feel but both boasting original features. A family bathroom offers a shower over bath, and this bath just happens to be a spa, allowing plenty of space to luxuriate.
A perfectly appointed formal sitting room, complete with cosy reading nook, fireplace and stunning decorative arches all bathed in natural light is also in the original part of the home. This room exemplifies what is on offer throughout the home with bespoke ornate ceiling features continued throughout, dating back over a century.
Following the hallway to the rear of the house, you will find a modern addition, which pays homage to the property's history with a high vaulted ceiling, large windows, and clean white lines throughout the space. While the original structure is the heart of this home, this extension is the hub with an open plan kitchen, dining, and living area. Tiled to create a cooling Mediterranean feel, the large north-facing windows create a sense of warmth.
Lush greenery flows through the windows, bringing the outdoors in. Each area offers unique views outside to the yard and pool, ensuring a feeling of connection and easy flow. Above the kitchen you will find a loft space, overlooking the dining and living areas. The quintessential retreat for both parents, and children alike.
Dual French windows lead outside, where you will find a perfectly proportioned pool. High fences and tall trees make this family friendly space a true sanctuary. In addition to a grassed area - ideal for children and pets - this yard still has more to offer with alfresco dining for those balmy summer evenings spent with friends and family.
