This understated yet wonderfully surprising home is unique and fabulous! Set high on Swanbourne Hill, on an elevated 685sqm block in a quiet cul de sac, the tree top views and relaxed, edgy aesthetic of this wonderful home give it a “down south” feel. The original home was built in 1969 by Corser Homes, most likely to Peter Overman designs, or at least with strong influence from Overman, who worked for Corser from 1957-1967. Now lovingly restored and renovated by the current owners to honour the original architecture but with the addition of high quality features like travertine and oak flooring, copper external lighting, Pininfarina designed Snaidero kitchen, designer lighting and more. Offering great separation, a flexible floorplan and a gorgeous backyard, this home is inspiring, architecturally interesting and a joy to live in. Conveniently positioned towards the front of the block, the split level home is set over three levels, ensuring there is plenty of space to extend the home whilst maintaining a sizeable back yard. The master suite is on the top level, with a queen sized bedroom with built in wardrobes, an ensuite and a superb sitting room with a wood fire. Tall timber-framed windows and doors connect to a private balcony, which affords superb views over the tree tops and saturate the home in glorious northern sunlight. Other highlights include a secure garage with cedar door, north facing living areas, evacuated tube solar hot water with electric booster, 3.3kw PV Solar, double glazing to many of the original frames, solar passive design, natural finishes throughout, very low energy consumption home, high quality security system and ducted airconditioning in part of the home.
THE LIFESTYLE YOU WILL LIVE
This location is simply sensational. Located in a quiet cul de sac where the neighbours meet for drinks at least once a week, it's a very special pocket of Swanbourne. Scotch College and its vast playing fields, Lake Claremont and Cresswell Oval are just down the hill, and Revo gym, Claremont Pool, Lake Claremont golf course and the local cafes and shops of the Swanbourne Village are an easy walk away. Swanbourne Primary is down the road, it's within the Shenton College catchment and bus and train services are very close by. Swanbourne beach is a short drive away or a nice walk with the dog. Walk to the Claremont Quarter for all your shopping needs, pop into Vinotto or The Claremont Hotel for a drink or enjoy one of the many cafes and restaurants in the Claremont town centre. Swanbourne Beach is a short drive away and premium private schools are easily accessible. But what you will love most about this little pocket of the world is the beautiful neighbours, many of whom have lived here for years. You'll simply love living here.
