Curated with architectural prowess and functionality at the forefront, this home delivers an impressive level of understated luxury to each space. The six-bedroom, four-bathroom property, within the prestigious 6011 postcode, represents a unique opportunity to acquire a truly landmark asset. As the custodian of family memories, 34a Leake Street touches the heart for many reasons, none of which are quite as evident as its welcoming embrace-a home of true belonging.
Solid, slate-grey timber entry doors, opening to the light-filled entrance foyer. Crisp off-white walls, a coffered ceiling, and solid oak flooring underfoot set the mood for what lies beyond. The ground floor unfolds with an articulate narrative of well-defined spaces. The guest suite, a sanctuary designed for comfort and privacy, offers visitors or extended family retreat towards the front of the residence.
The heart of this home beats strongest in its wonderfully open-style kitchen, dining, and living areas. Vaulted ceilings rise above, creating a sense of boundless space, while walls of windows ensure a cascade of natural light that enhances every bespoke detail-from the polished stone countertops to the delightful ceiling detail. A vast island bench creates the centerpiece of the highly functional kitchen, accented by a full suite of Gaggenau appliances. Double wine fridges, a large fully fitted walk-in pantry, and a clever built-in study nook are accessed off the kitchen, this is a kitchen designed not just for cooking but for celebrating life's moments.
The living area is dominated by a sleek stone-wrapped fireplace framed by custom-built timber cabinetry. Cavernous ceilings magnify the space, while the fully opening sliding doors blur the lines between inside and out. Flowing onto the large covered and light-filled alfresco area, the extendable entertaining area becomes a year-round attraction.
To the rear, the sectioned landscape design captures a beautiful lawned space which flows to the pool and undercover sitting area. Passing through the white entrance arbour, the pool is wrapped in limestone paving and lush greenery while the cabana is complete with a raked timber-lined ceiling, feature lighting, and a ceiling fan.
Remaining on the ground floor to the east lies the grand living room. A magnificent space marked by stunning coffered ceiling detail and a timber-clad fireplace. Built-in display cabinetry and oversized glass insert sliding doors create a unique balance.
The stunning timber finish, three-quarter turn staircase is flanked by two large double-height windows, flooding natural light deep into the internal spaces. The narrative upstairs continues with five additional bedrooms, each well-proportioned and a testament to the zoned design of this impressive residence. The master suite, superb ensuite bathroom and large fitted walk-in robe is a spacious haven with understated luxury at every glance. Sumptuous surfaces, textured floor coverings, and a large pool-facing balcony complete this retreat.
Comfortably positioned on a north-facing landholding, the contemporary double-storey home enjoys a strategic location between the pristine waters of Freshwater Bay and the iconic white sands of Cottesloe Beach. A short walk from the vibrant retail and entertainment strip of Napoleon Street, it rubs shoulders with some of the state's finest properties.
