Modernist Family Residence

Minimalist in design yet full of soul, this riverside residence by Seymour Clifford of Woburn Architecture & Interiors is a haven for the senses.

Completed in 2021, the single-level property features a North-facing, passive solar orientation that wraps around a central courtyard with a pool and tranquil landscaping. With five bedrooms, three bathrooms and multiple interior and external spaces, this unique family home's design perfectly utilises the 851sqm block.

Expansive floor-to-ceiling northern windows and stone floors harness the sun's warmth for passive solar heating in winter, with underfloor heating and a fireplace for the extra chilly periods. In summer, the projecting cornice provides shade to the northern windows, keeping the home comfortably cool. North-south opening windows facilitate refreshing cross-ventilation of the ocean and river breezes.

Soaring 3.4m ceilings create expanses of wall space for the art-lover, or artist in residence, to display their collection. Almost every room in the house features full-height glass panes that provide an aesthetically pleasing exterior outlook wherever you happen to be.

Families will appreciate the thoughtful separation between the spacious main bedroom suite - complete with walk-in robes, a sitting area and a luxe marble-detailed ensuite - and the generous minor bedrooms. The main bedroom enjoys a serene outlook and access to a reflection pond framed by minimal yet established landscaping. The selection of plants and rustic textural elements, including lawn, rocks and mature trees, harmoniously balances the modernist, structured design of the dwelling.

A light-filled, open-plan living and dining space includes a galley-style kitchen guaranteed to impress the most discerning home entertainer. Here you'll find a suite of appliances, including three ovens, an integrated fridge/freezer, two dishwashers and a gas cooktop. There's a third dishwasher, an ice maker, plus washing and drying appliances in the adjacent scullery/laundry. The vast island bench encased in timber, textured stone benchtops, sleek handle-less cabinetry and mirrored splashback add sophistication to this highly functional zone.

This one-of-a-kind masterpiece accommodates evolving family dynamics and moods. There's something for everyone here with areas for play, gathering and contemplation. The five-car garage with ROW laneway access will securely house your family's vehicles (perfect for kids of driving age), offer guests a secure place to park and may include space for a large workshop or gymnasium.

Enjoy living just 300m from the Swan River's edge at Freshwater Bay and walking distance to Cottesloe Central, premium schools and Napoleon Street's dining and shopping mecca.
