A true Broome icon set amidst tropical gardens on a massive 2,027sqm block. This magnificent 5 bedroom 3 bathroom residence is a fine example of the "Broome Tropical Bungalow" style, and is one of the few surviving pearling master's homes in the heart of Old Broome.
The Homestead is closely associated with master pearler Daniel McDaniel, whose family occupied the property from 1922 to 1981, as well as master pearler Captain Frank Biddles and his Japanese boat builder, Hori Gorokitchi who were responsible for the construction of the home in 1902.
Wraparound verandas fitted with flat metal storm shutters grace the exterior of this stunning home and beyond the gated entry walkway that precedes generous and comfortable accommodation, enhanced by climatic responsive features of lattice, louvers and a pressed-tin ceiling.
The master suite is the pick of the sleeping quarters with its walk-in wardrobe and intimate ensuite which overlooks the pool area. There is great separation from the three other large bedrooms which feature soaring ceilings, split system air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and huge sash windows.
A functional family floor plan includes a study/home office, a separate activity room that doubles personal living options away from the main hub and a self-contained studio / fifth bedroom, ideal for teenagers or guests seeking their own kitchen, laundry and bathroom facilities.
Solid Jarrah floorboards enhance the airy open-plan living and dining area, whilst the kitchen features stainless-steel bench tops and splashbacks, Bosch dishwasher, quality range hood and more.
Outdoors, an awesome entertaining deck splendidly overlooks lush surrounding lawns with plenty of yard space for the kids, and even the family pet to let their vivid imaginations run wild. You will also find a massive courtyard with a firepit for those special evenings, whilst a separate second relaxation deck plays host to a shimmering-blue swimming pool shaded by mango trees.
