This captivating 5 bedroom 3 bathroom sanctuary has both character and comfort in spades — along with an extraordinary sense of space, versatility and timeless appeal, all beautifully elevated on the high side of the whisper-quiet street and sprawling across more than 1,000sqm of prime family paradise.
With its origins dating back to the 1940s, this stunning residence has a story worth telling, retaining much of its enchanting original charm whilst embracing a spectacular transformation in 1993 — an extension so impressive that the builder proudly entered it into a showcase. The result is a wonderfully-expansive and cleverly-evolved family haven, where multiple living zones allow everyone to spread their wings, find their own favourite corner and come together whenever the occasion calls.
And just when you thought this property had revealed all its secrets, the magnificent north-facing backyard delivers another delightful surprise — a separate 1 bed 1 bath “granny flat”, added later and offering exciting flexibility for multi-generational living, extended family, independent guests or potential Airbnb and short-stay accommodation, subject to relevant requirements and approvals.
The extra accommodation has a series of gorgeous 10-panel double French doors to enhance views out to the garden, as well as the shimmering heated 8m x 4m (approx.) below-ground kidney-shaped swimming pool. Its generous living and meals space has an L-shaped kitchen in the corner, whilst the expansive separate fifth or “guest” bedroom suite features built-in double-door wardrobes, yard access and a private ensuite/third bathroom with a shower, toilet and vanity basin. It also doubles as a potential activity room, if you need it to be one.
Fruit trees out back include multiple fruiting lime, abundant grapefruits, three fruiting orange trees, two maturing fig trees, two lemon trees and grapevine. They are overlooked by a terrific wraparound outdoor alfresco-entertaining area, right beside the pool.
Out front, there are splendid city views from the entry garden that allow you to experience the famous Australia Day fireworks show in all of its glory.
Internally, the front fourth bedroom is huge and the adjacent third bedroom has built-in double-door robes. A separate toilet and updated main family bathroom – with a shower, separate bathtub and powder vanity – can also be found within this part of the layout.
A spacious study could very well be another bedroom, depending on what your personal needs are. The functional and modern kitchen is nice and central, flowing through to an enormous front lounge room with an open fireplace and direct double-door alfresco access. It also features a V-Zug steam oven, a new exhaust fan, an Asko Induction cooktop, a semi-integrated Miele dishwasher, an appliance cupboard, double sinks, sleek stone bench tops, loads of storage and an opening skylight.
A giant main living/family room – with easy alfresco access of its own, a lovely garden aspect and a fan-forced wood-fire heater – seamlessly connects to the dining area, where a cellar space underneath is an added bonus. Double doors off here reveal a pleasant side balcony.
A large second bedroom has double-door built-in robes, whilst the separate master wing comprises of a bedroom suite with an over-sized walk-in robe, drop-down-ladder access to a storage attic, a new “quiet” ceiling fan, white plantation window shutters and its own separate bathroom with a shower, vanity basin, separate toilet and the potential to become a full ensuite with the addition of a single door.
The external laundry has even been renovated, leaving one less thing for you to worry about. Preceding the carport and garage, there is off-street parking for two cars side-by-side – as well as enough parking space for a boat, caravan or trailer, if you are that way inclined.
Nestled within the optional intake areas for both Floreat Park Primary School and Jolimont Primary School, as well as falling within the sought-after Shenton College catchment zone, this unique home also sits just footsteps away from cafes, restaurants, bus stops, the picturesque Perry Lakes Reserve, outstanding community sporting facilities (including the Gold Netball Centre and Wembley Sports Park at the end of the street), other public-transport options, Floreat Forum Shopping Centre, Bold Park Aquatic Centre, Wembley Golf Course and more.
Pristine Western Australian beaches (including City Beach), Reabold Hill and the heart of our vibrant Perth CBD are also very much within arm’s reach, for the ultimate in living convenience.
A little bit of history, a whole lot of heart and more than enough room for everybody's future to be taken care of — this is one family masterpiece that has only become more magical with time!
