33 Rupert Street, Subiaco WA 6008

Unlock the orange door and discover this modern Colin and Rebecca Moore masterpiece of form and function. Situated on desirable and ultra-convenient Rupert Street, Number 33 offers you a family-size, low-maintenance home, perfect for the downsizer, the modern family, the art lover, the book lover, the traveller…and hopefully, you.

Shielding the house from the street view, the mature trees filter sunlight into the large front courtyard, with its easy-care garden beds and ample room for seating to enjoy watching the world go by without it watching you. The triangular upstairs balcony and double-height portico offers visual impact alongside practical courtyard protection. It's easy to miss the separate entrance to the guest accommodation, but more on that later.

Through the wide front glass doors, step into the open plan living space. The galley-style kitchen is smartly finished in crisp white, with plentiful cabinetry ensuring a concealed place for everything. An integrated fridge and freezer are cleverly positioned for easy access to entertaining in the front courtyard, while a host of Smeg appliances completes the picture. The dining area has room for a full-size dining table, and the raised frontage on the kitchen island bench creates the feeling of individual rooms without closing the space, while also ensuring your food preparations can be discreetly undertaken. The thoughtful use of glass panels to the staircase leading upstairs adds to the feeling of luminous spaces.

The adjacent lounge area opens directly out to the large central courtyard, which you can enjoy while bathed in northern sun, or under the retractable awning. The courtyard is surrounded by stacking glass doors to make this a truly indoor / outdoor space. Separated by a lockable door with vertically opening glass panels, the long hallway offers the ideal display space for the art lover, and leads to the ground floor bedroom (or study, as it is presently used) with quality built-in shelving, split-system air-conditioning, and more stackable doors for open access to the courtyard. Here you will also find the downstairs bathroom with frameless glass shower, and the rear-lane accessed full double garage with a raised storage platform and a plug-in charger for electric vehicles.

Upstairs, you will find three to four more bedrooms, plus two bathrooms. The spacious master bedroom feels like a luxurious hotel suite, with a sleek double access ensuite concealed behind the bedroom wall, and featuring a full bathtub and frameless glass walk-through shower. This bedroom also enjoys its own private balcony amongst the trees, accessed by glass doors through which you can enjoy the tranquil view over the front courtyard. With a full wall of built-in wardrobes and split-system air-conditioning, this is the perfect retreat.

Next to the master is the ultimate opportunity to create your designer dressing room. While currently equipped with a built-in desk and wardrobe, this queen-size bedroom with wooden floors enjoys natural light and is primed for a stunning closet conversion. Equally, for the young family, the proximity of this room to the master bedroom would make it a beautiful and practical nursery.

At the end of the upstairs hall, offering ideal separation from the master suite, are two more large, fully carpeted bedrooms, the first of which has access to a balcony overlooking the central courtyard, and each featuring built-in robes. These bedrooms share another bathroom with shower-over-bathtub, and ducted evaporative air-conditioning cools all the upstairs rooms. The intelligent hallway laundry cabinetry ensures all your washing and drying needs are met in the most discreet and space-efficient way imaginable. Behind closed doors, discover tailored space for the washing machine, dryer and laundry tub, an airing cupboard (with ventilation fan, hanging racks and open shelving), a linen cupboard, and an equipment cupboard for your ironing board and other laundry items.

Remember that secret stairway in the front courtyard? Down the stairs, from either outside the house or in, you will find a self-contained hideaway. Ideal for guests, perfect for those kidults, the huge, fully carpeted, below-ground room features a subterranean courtyard, built-in shelving, and its own kitchenette and bathroom. You won't even hear them sneaking in at 3am…

Location-wise, it is hard to beat this end of Rupert Street. Only minutes from Crossways shopping centre, Subiaco Primary School, Kings Park, public transport, and all that Rokeby Road and its surrounds has to offer, yet tucked away in a cul-de-sac that ensures absolute peace and no through traffic, you are perfectly positioned to enjoy the Subiaco neighbourhood without ever unplugging the car. Equally, this private and secure home offers inveterate travellers the ease of locking up and leaving.

Utterly versatile and superbly convenient: welcome to 33 Rupert St.
