After a successful 6 day campaign, we finished with multiple competitive offers and a Keightley Road West street record.
An elegant corner allotment defined by mature trees, limestone borders, and views to beautiful Shenton Park beyond, set the scene for this charming Webb & Brown-Neaves home. Teeming with natural light and respect to sunny outdoor living, a timeless aesthetic of Blackbutt & Tasmanian oak floors, provincial style courtyards & an inviting open-plan layout offset warm white interiors & modern French doors.
Illuminated by windows and French doors down one side, the extra-wide entrance hall accommodates furniture & seating to admire delightful courtyard vistas. At the same time, the master suite and another bedroom/ study/ nursery located at the front of the home, share this ethereal space.
Garden views are enjoyed from the spacious north-facing master with a connecting ensuite bathroom equipped with a generous shower, ceiling-to-floor stone effect tiles, heated ceiling lamp, and a walk-in robe. A separate toilet doubles as a powder room and serves as a thoughtful amenity for the bedroom & rear living areas.
Intentionally designed to invite the outdoors in, the vast open-plan living, kitchen, and dining extend to sunny poured-limestone terraces where French doors can be flung open in the warmer months to recreate an idyllic Mediterranean setting.
Here, peaceful acoustics from a rustic wall fountain complement thriving planters and a pretty Meyer lemon tree to be enjoyed under the shade of an automatic awning and mature trees surrounding the property. Generous granite benchtops, all fitted with abundant storage options furnish the practical kitchen where an appliance nook, quality Kleenmaid oven & 5-burner gas stove, and Miele dishwasher, service the light-filled dining and living room.
This highly functional home has easy access from rear laneway access where an automatic double garage provides a secure shopper's entry into the home (and adjoining laundry), along with lockable gates on either side to access the garden and laundry entrance. On the upper floor, clever window placements frame leafy treetop views and bring warm natural light to the generous landing-cum-study and lounge room. This is the quintessential teenager's retreat with two private bedrooms - each with built-in robes - a shared bathroom & tub, and separate toilet.
Storage is optimized via a deep, below-stairs wine cellar which can be locked up to protect rare collectibles and vintages!
Other features include ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning, a gas bayonet outlet, discreet but spacious rear bin and gardening-tools enclosure, block-out & timber blinds, video doorbell entrance, solar panels, downlighting, extra residents' parking via Waverley Street & alarm.
Admired for its warm and friendly street culture, whisper-quiet location, and access to the iconic Shenton Park green open space & picturesque lake at the end of the street, this highly sought-after location is ideally positioned between the city, river & sea while adopting a unique cosmopolitan, urban village vibe thanks to an abundance of trendy cafes, bars, grocers and shopping villages nearby, and the local primary school less than a 3-minute walk away.
