This stylish, north-facing townhouse was designed by the renowned award-winning Perth architect, Peter Overman, and features a multitude of well-executed signature Overman design aspects.
You will fall in love with the soaring high ceilings, its mezzanine master bedroom and the characteristic 45-degree wall angles. The loft windows cast indirect light down the stairwell and throughout the home. The sense of light and space that you will experience at 5/8 Sandgate Street simply cannot be found in a square house with 4 square walls.
Ahead of its time in terms of passive solar design, this home promotes environmentally sustainable living. Free flowing air throughout this home is designed to optimise comfortable, energy efficient and cost effective living throughout the year.
This property has been sensitively renovated and improved over time in a way that preserves and enhances the original character of the home, creating authentic and timeless spaces that respect the design.
The front and rear courtyards are a real highlight and give the house a sense of privacy, security and tranquillity. At this time of the year the mottled sun streams through the beautiful flowering wisteria that is as old as the home itself. As the seasons progress you will enjoy the cool shade it delivers during summer while during the cooler months the sun will flood into your living space bringing warmth and light.
This is not your standard townhouse and needs to be experienced to be appreciated. Come and see why Peter Overman was talked about, written about and highly sought after for decades, and continues to be so today.
