Situated in one of Subiaco's most tightly held, coveted enclaves where homes are rarely available for sale; a magnificently renovated and extended 1910's residence with instant 'fall in love' street appeal, tucked away in a super quiet spot, yet perfectly positioned in a fabulous 'central to everything' location.
Once a dated cottage with an ageing 1980's extension, the owners, who run FTB, a consultancy that advises commercial and residential clients on their projects, in consultation with award winning building designers Dalecki spectacularly transformed the home into a masterful synergy of old and new where original character melds effortlessly into compelling, contemporary spaces.
Resting in perfectly landscaped gardens behind a quintessential white picket fence, 26 Union St is distinguished by its classically elegant pale grey and white trimmed façade, wide verandah with turned timber posts and decorative fretwork. Skillfully crafted interiors are sophisticated and effortlessly stylish, with a gorgeous nod to the home's Edwardian past - think soaring ceilings, hallway arch, stained glass leadlights, picture rails, sash windows, fireplaces - with a heavenly twist of modern luxury. Exceptional design is complemented by beautifully considered finishes - pure white walls and a striking palette of natural materials and textures emphasizes openness, flow and organic architectural form.
Flawlessly planned and supremely family focused, this extraordinary home is incredibly easy to live in with its warm, welcoming, laid-back vibe. A sublime harmony of perfectly zoned and integrated areas bring family together for relaxing, dining and entertaining, yet provide distinct spaces for work, sleep and privacy.
The original home hosts a heavenly primary bedroom with generous walk-in robe and luxurious en-suite, a tranquil living room, and lovely guest bedroom, all featuring an exquisite blend of classic character and contemporary style. Architectural features from the original home are continued into the new section in the form of curves and arches in the curvilinear upper floor, clad in white battens. Garonne paving from the exterior is echoed inside, white fluted panelling is seen in the hallway and kitchen, with beautiful integrated custom cabinetry throughout.
Herringbone paving returning to oak marks the transition through to gloriously expansive open plan spaces. Ideally oriented to capture beautiful northern sunlight and glorious summer breezes, the dining area with soaring ceilings and walls of glass takes pride of place in the centre of the home, bordered on one side by the magnificently appointed kitchen, and on the opposite side, by generous family living opening to the stylish Palm Springs inspired alfresco and pristine heated pool.
The striking curvilinear upper floor offers two big, bright, sunny bedrooms with custom desks and built in robes, a gorgeous bathroom and study/sitting area offering gorgeous treetop vistas.
26 Union St. Your sanctuary from the world. A spectacular residence conceived with love, crafted with passion, infused with light and overflowing with vibrancy and charisma; and a timeless, comfortable, easy to live in yet highly functional family home that is perfectly in harmony with the demands of modern life.
