Traditional Claremont Character - Plus Self-Contained Townhouse
The elegance and grand proportions of yesteryear create a serene ambience in this grand lady of Claremont Hill. The graceful circa 1911 home has all the traditional features you love, and also boasts a delightfully modern self-contained apartment which offers complete flexibility for families.
The welcoming front verandah will sweep you off your feet, as you sit back and relax overlooking fragrant gardens. Step inside to admire the wide jarrah floors and gorgeous stained-glass windows, as the beautiful period features add sweet character throughout the gracious main home. There are three large bedrooms, a study, large bathroom, spacious lounge, living room and classic kitchen with a walk-in pantry, all sharing the traditional charm and high ceilings of the original home.
The two-storey townhouse, which has a separate entry from the rear laneway, offers a luxurious abode for long-term guests or family members who enjoy their independence. With spacious living areas, full kitchen, chic bathroom, underground cellar and storage room, S/S air conditioning and light-filled upstairs bedroom, it can adapt easily to suit your needs.
A central private garden courtyard is a relaxed oasis where you can enjoy breakfast on the terracotta-tiled alfresco, or just relax on the verandah and watch the kids play on the lush lawn. It has easy-care gardens and access to the double garage and large workshop/storeroom.
This quality home is brilliantly situated on a bold corner position in a leafy historic precinct which is the perfect walking distance from the popular cafes and restaurants of Swanbourne and Claremont Quarter.
