Elegant and rustic, this magnificent Tuscan Villa in the heart of Floreat will transport you to Italy's most famous region and its idyllic rolling hills and valleys.
The home's design gently ascends with the elevated 1,335sqm block - one of the suburb's largest. Wrapped around a sun-drenched terrace with a loggia, bubbling water features and heavenly scented gardens, it will become a forever home to treasure.
Lovingly crafted from imported materials such as solid teak, granite and marble, you'll find hand-painted Italian tiles, Venetian glass mirrors, and soaring ceilings with blended cornices. Custom-made candelabras, chandeliers and wall sconces feature intricate wrought iron and glass detail, with French doors and external shutters enhancing its Italianate ambience.
At the front of the home, find four oversized bedrooms and two marble-tiled bathrooms fitted with frameless showers and elegant Kohler basins and tapware. The first of three internal living areas, the spacious lounge room sits beneath an impressive wrought iron candelabra and receives abundant natural light via wall-to-wall timber windows and doors.
Visiting friends or multi-generational family members will appreciate the beautifully appointed guest suite with an ensuite bathroom finished in teak and marble. Sleek, timber-framed sashless windows line the spacious hallway, providing cross-ventilation and an outlook over the delightful external courtyard. A side entrance into the home opens into the hallway, where the ceiling rises to a jaw-dropping six metres and boasts another spectacular candelabra pendant.
Further up, stream your favourite series and movies in your own cinema, complete with electric leather recliner seating, soundproofing, surround sound, an Epson projector, and a massive screen. Settle in with plush wool carpet and blackout drapes and enjoy next-level home entertainment!
You'll make countless precious memories in the open-plan living and dining area at the rear of the home. Three sets of teak bi-fold doors create a seamless transition between this warm, inviting indoor space and the adjoining alfresco. In the cooler months, turn on the remote-controlled electric fireplace, set into a limestone hearth surrounded by ornate plasterwork.
Gather 'round the sweeping three-metre kitchen island and enjoy a Chianti while the home chef creates their culinary magic. An impressive suite of tools includes a Falcon cooker with gas and electric ovens, a Miele dishwasher and Qasair rangehood. The vast amount of storage will also dazzle the most discerning entertainers, with custom-built teak drawers and a phenomenal walk-through scullery to house all your pantry items and appliances out of view.
Take your entertaining outside, where a magnificent Egyptian teak carving adorns the alfresco ceiling. Twin Baumatic wine fridges will keep your Prosecco and Pino Grigio chilled, and woodfired pizzas in the Brae imported from South Africa will become a popular staple year-round, thanks to retractable shade blinds.
At the end of the day, when your bellies are full, retreat upstairs to your luxurious private haven, comprising a spacious living area, a substantial customised walk-in robe and an ensuite on par with the finest Tuscan villas. Here, you'll find dual granite and teak vanities, marble wall and floor tiling, a frameless shower, and enjoy indulgent soaks in the free-standing slipper bath. As with the staircase, your tiled balcony features exquisite wrought iron balustrading and offers a picturesque outlook over the loggia and surrounding gardens, including potted magnolias and citrus, scented jasmine and climbing roses.
Adjacent to Floreat Forum and Floreat Park, and boasting a highly desirable position close to premium schools, Perry Lakes and Perth's best beaches, the location doesn't get much better!
The level of detail throughout this unique property is second to none and must be seen to be appreciated.
