Elegance Meets History: The Hidden Gem at 4 Flora Street
At the end of a private road, over looking the stunning treetops and adjacent to the seasonal Blackadder Creek, a residence stands that is as steeped in history as it is in luxury. 4 Flora Street, conceived 1992, is a testament to architectural brilliance and European-inspired design.
As you step through its doors, you're immediately transported to a world where the past meets the present. Designed by a naval architect, the home beautifully captures the essence of European architecture from the 70s and 80s. The sloping roof of the dining room, the petite stairs, and the once-bar enclave in the dining room are all nods to this bygone era. The wooden walls, ceilings, and the lounge chaise in the bedroom, coupled with the conical turret on the roof, further accentuate its European influences.
The house's foundation is a marvel in itself. Forty-three treated pine poles, driven deep into the ground on 2m concrete footings, provide the backbone of this magnificent structure. These were meticulously placed to support the grand vision of the original owners, who dreamt of incorporating multiple spas on the first level. The main living area, a symphony of spaces including the unique hexagonal living room, spa lounge, and various bedrooms, stands atop these poles, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding beauty.
The kitchen, is a home chef's dream. Boasting an island bench with state-of-the-art appliances, a Miele dishwasher, and a Pete Evans Clark double sink, it seamlessly blends functionality with luxury. The wrap-around balcony, accessible from the kitchen and dining room, offers a serene spot to enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine.
The main bedroom, a hexagonal marvel, promises serenity. Its central pillar, conical roof space, and mirrored built-in robes create a sanctuary for relaxation. Each bedroom, from the north-facing guest room to the office, has been designed with utmost care, ensuring an incredible place to rest/work whilst maintaining contact with nature thanks to direct access to the many balconys.
The living spaces, from the hexagonal living room with its wood-burning fireplace to the carpeted sitting room, are perfect for both intimate gatherings and grand celebrations. The dining room, with its unique sloping ceiling, offers a space to dine in style.
Comfort is at the forefront of 4 Flora Street's design. With two ducted evaporative air conditioners cooling the main house and additional reverse cycle units in the bedrooms, the residence ensures a pleasant ambiance throughout the year.
Outdoors, the residence continues to impress. The pool, a 10.36 x 4m, solar heated saltwater delight, promises endless summer fun. The undercroft area, overlooking the pool, is perfect for barbecues or a quiet evening by the poolside. For those who love alfresco dining, the outdoor kitchen on the main balcony is a dream come true and the submersible bore pump, catering to 90% of the garden, is a nod to sustainable living.
The dual self-contained units nicknamed "Lord Percy" and "Baldrick"(Blackadder comedy series), offer additional living or rental opportunities, each replete with modern amenities and private spaces.
4 Flora St is not just a house; it's a statement. A blend of history, luxury, and modern comforts. Experience architectural brilliance and step into a world where every detail tells a story. Welcome to a home that is as timeless as it is elegant. Welcome to 4 Flora Street, Midland WA 6056.
