Liveability and Luxury in Leafy Floreat
Leave the stress behind and come home to this beautifully renovated 1970s Summerhayes private sanctuary - a stunning oasis perfectly positioned on an elevated 1,009sqm block, showcasing contemporary features for comfort and liveability.
The attention to detail here is unparalleled. From the breezy front alfresco overlooking the swimming pool to the rear outdoor entertainment area with a wood-burning fireplace to soaring ceilings and a show-stopping chef's kitchen, the atmosphere is a sense of understated luxury.
Upon entry, step through an impressive timber pivot door and onto limewashed jarrah floorboards, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, setting the standard for the superior quality observed throughout.
With poolside views at the front of the home is the original Summerhayes- designed living room, its heritage evident by angled ceiling cornicing, a room ideal for winter evenings by the fireplace. This flows through to a separate dining room and light-filled conservatory with angled glass ceilings and a retractable roof.
At the rear, the home merges into a welcoming open-plan kitchen and casual lounge, a bright and airy space thanks to soaring cathedral ceilings and garden views. In the kitchen itself, entertain with ease with high-end appliances, an Essastone kitchen island, a large scullery with an abundance of storage, and a laundry with expansive storage and side outdoor access.
A wing in itself includes the perfect guest room or teenager's retreat, complete with massive walk-in robes, a ceiling fan, and a fully tiled ensuite with a frameless shower. Also downstairs are bedrooms two and three, sharing a resort-style bathroom with heated towel rails, a rain shower, separate bath and large vanity.
Beautiful timber stairs lead to a mezzanine retreat with an open green outlook and plenty of space for toys and games. A standout - the main bedroom suite further along the hall - boasts a 4.5m walk-in robe, a luxe ensuite with Italian-made tapware, a double rain shower, an oval bath (enough for two!) and double vanity, plus a private terrace with city glimpses, a true escape after a busy day.
Outside, entertain throughout the seasons with a sheltered garden kitchen and poolside alfresco for summer fun. Relax among easy-care reticulated greenery, and secure your vehicles in the double lock-up garage. The convenience of this desirable location is equally appealing, steps from the beautiful Roscommon Nature Reserve and a brief walk to Floreat Park Primary School and Floreat Forum. Properties of this calibre are in demand.
