Boasting tremendous street appeal, the original circa.1914 home features the charm of yesteryear, with manicured gardens, a Jarrah-decked bullnose veranda and red brick tuckpointing. Inside, find soaring ceilings and polished Jarrah boards, high skirting and ornate ceilings roses. Two street-facing rooms with original fireplaces include a large study and a sprawling main bedroom suite, complete with a spacious walk-in robe and a beautifully appointed modern ensuite.
Step down to the contemporary extension, where you'll be impressed by the enormous open plan area with 3.3-metre ceilings and stunning polished concrete floors. Wall-to-wall windows and bi-fold stacking doors invite an abundance of natural light into this North-facing living and entertaining space, where your family will spend time making precious memories.
You'll love the outlook over the alfresco and pool area - providing a picturesque view for the home chef while catering for family and guests. The kitchen offers engineered stone benchtops, 900mm Miele cooking appliances and an integrated fridge/freezer. In the adjacent scullery, find additional storage space, an extra sink and an integrated Miele dishwasher - perfect for keeping the used dishes out of view.
To the rear of the home, a bedroom wing includes three generous minor bedrooms with built-in robes, new carpets and white plantation shutters (or two plus an activity/study with a massive cavity sliding door to the pool area). The large family bathroom comprises a floating vanity, a frameless rain shower, a bath and a WC, while the laundry's extensive storage will be sure to please.
With a ceiling fan and two Infratech heaters, alfresco entertaining will become your favourite pastime no matter the season. The built-in kitchen includes a BBQ, wine fridge, sink, cabinets and drawers, and a top-of-the-range Falmec extractor fan. The Chemigem pool has provisions for heating, although its sunny position ensures it maintains the perfect temperature during the warmer months. The reticulated gardens include limestone garden beds with roses, ornamental pears and potastrums for privacy screening.
From this superb location, every imaginable amenity is within walking distance, including Claremont Station, local schools and endless shopping and dining options at the Claremont Quarter. Rowe Park at the end of the street is popular with the local dog-walking community, and local kids love the public tennis and basketball court. The shores of the Swan River are moments away, and the Nedlands hospital precinct is under 3km. A few minutes drive will have you at Cottesloe's and Swanbourne's world-class beaches.
