Stunning Bungalow Transformation
Step into a world where 1930s charm meets modern luxury. This architecturally renovated and extended four-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow in a prime location offers the perfect marriage of character features and contemporary amenities, elevating daily living to an art form.
Upon arrival, a welcoming elevation of rendered and red-brick tuckpointed masonry beckons. An enclosed front garden features a heated pool with a water feature and an outdoor hot and cold shower, setting the tone for the luxe lifestyle ahead. The verandah leads you to a leadlight entry door, opening to interiors freshly painted in soft grey and white hues. High decorative ceilings, picture rails, and timeless jarrah floorboards announce that this is no ordinary home.
The two front bedrooms exude warmth and sophistication; one includes a cosy fireplace and could double as a formal lounge, while the primary suite delights with built-in robes and a modern ensuite. Further into the home, the family bathroom boasts a semi-frameless shower, tiled bathtub, stone-topped vanity and louvre windows for stylish ventilation.
As you move through the hallway, bi-fold doors reveal a north-facing courtyard, adorned with a feature tree and a raised vegetable garden that invites al fresco drinks and relaxation. The home's architectural finesse shines in the open-plan living and dining space, featuring Wandoo timber flooring salvaged from an old wool store, geometrically designed cedar windows, and a gas fireplace.
The sleek, U-shaped kitchen emerges as the heart of the home, boasting stone benchtops, breakfast seating, and state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances. These details, alongside a gently raked ceiling and bi-fold doors, create a seamless transition to the expansive timber alfresco deck, itself a masterpiece framed by award-winning landscaped gardens by Janine Mendel.
To complete this sanctuary, a large freestanding air-conditioned and networked studio offers versatility—be it as a home office, teen retreat, or yoga space—with the added advantage of convenient rear access via the Pirate Lane ROW. You'll find plenty of storage inside and out, including the spacious attic, hallway and laundry, and external storeroom.
This unique lifestyle property is designed to maximise the easy-care 452sqm block and its idyllic orientation. Located less than a 100m walk to Green Street and under 1km to Mount Hawthorn Primary School and Bob Hawke College catchment, you're also perfectly positioned between The Mezz and Dog Swamp Shopping Centre. Nearby, you'll find a host of dining and shopping hotspots on Scarborough Beach Road. Whether walking to The Paddo, Spritz Spizzicheria or Sonny's Bar, you're at the heart of this vibrant precinct.
