MID CENTURY MODERN 5X2
LANDSCAPED POOL AND GARDENS
OPPOSITE FAMILY PARKLANDS
*As seen in the RAC TV commercial!
Floreat has long been ground zero for some of Perth City's exciting mid-century modernist architecture and 21 Kinross is no exception! A modernised and extended timeless art piece (circa 1958) by the renowned Silver & Fairbrother, this single level architect designed home is brimming with mid-century cool and takes pride of place on its large, pancake flat, leafy green Floreat allotment, opposite gorgeous family parklands.
Watch the kids in the park or the pool from your kitchen. Spend idyllic summer days in the poolside alfresco. Experience the intangible daily sense of appreciation that comes from living amongst a work of art as much as within a home.
Of dramatic design, the home refracts natural light indoors via large picture windows in every direction. The lounge and kitchen windows reach out and embrace the parklands opposite from indoors. From the lounge, office and three of the five bedrooms, you simply cannot miss the stunning rear gardens and pool, which is of enormous mid-century "Californian" proportions. The dining area visually embraces a landscaped garden courtyard with koi pond. Additional highlight windows complete the indoor/ outdoor vibe by capturing the treetops and sky.
As you approach the home from the street, you cannot help but be entranced by its streamlined modernist design lines. Nyata hardwood feature paneling adorns its front facade and provides a hint of the 1950's cool that is about to reveal itself. Internally, high ceilings and glass create an abundance of light and space. The beautiful Oregon Pine ceilings, which line the front veranda, transition seamlessly through the street front windows to line the internal ceilings as well. Underfoot Blackbutt flooring mirrors the golden hues of the Oregon boards above, offering a rich, warm and proud organic contrast to the homes minimalist design lines... truly exquisite! Cutting edge contemporary bathrooms, laundry, guest powder and kitchen have been installed with the kitchen designed by highly regarded Retreat Design.
Outdoors, a huge indoor/outdoor room overlooks the pool and gardens creating the epitome of a "Garden City" suburban dream. Providing alfresco lounging and dining under the main roof, it is semi enclosable via built in weatherproof blinds and offers the ability for year round use.
The home is fully smart wired with data points and internal and external speakers.
Walk to both public and private schools and all of the lifestyle benefits of the Floreat Forum including bars, restaurants, cafes, gym, library and convenience shopping...Life is good here. Welcome to Floreat!
