Completely renovated and transformed from its circa-1970's bones, this unassuming tri-level home on an elevated 1,105sqm block of epic proportions will leave you in absolute awe. Inspired by celebrated award-winning architect Jean-mic Perrine, its panoramic ocean views are simply breathtaking. A spectacular snapshot of Rottnest Island is the crowning jewel.
Only the finest in quality modern fixtures and fittings have been utilised throughout this substantial abode that enjoys its own private access to a huge carpeted gym/music room on the ground floor - or potential home office if need be. This all once formed part of the original house and even makes for a possible Air BNB opportunity with some further renovations beyond the double-door entrance. A double garage with an enormous storeroom can also be found down here.
The main first floor is protected by the home's tiered, leafy, and commanding garden frontage. The sheer spaciousness of the open-plan family, dining, kitchen, and lounge area is impressive, as are the gleaming oak floors and a giant front deck to watch the magical evening sunsets from. Four huge bedrooms can also be found on this floor - including two potential guest suites - as well as a commodious extra living, retreat, or television room that the kids will love.
Both the sea vista and coastal breezes can still be captured from a fabulous central alfresco-entertaining area with feature louvers and its own automatic door for access. There is plenty of space to laze around the shimmering below-ground concrete swimming pool too, especially with summer just around the corner. A fireplace, granite bench tops, a stainless-steel Teppanyaki hotplate, sink, dishwasher and bar fridges make entertaining at the forefront of this home.
A separate low-maintenance yard with artificial turf is large, secure and ideal for pets. At the top of the garden and at the rear lies an elevated wooden deck with arguably the best view of all.
Back inside, the historic old Pagoda Ballroom is the origin of the solid Wandoo floorboards that dominate the top floor. A generous custom study has access to the second front deck, as well as built-in storage/furniture and views while you work. The piece de resistance though is a sumptuous master-bedroom suite with deck access, a walk-in wardrobe for him, ample built-in robe space for her, double glass ensuite doors, marble-panel tiles and an outlook to Rottnest from a bubbling oval spa bath. Exquisite.
Beautiful Floreat Beach, the sprawling City Beach Oval and the magnificent Odyssea and Hamptons restaurants at City Beach are all nearby, as are the likes of City Beach Primary School and the Bold Park Aquatic Centre. Throw in a very handy proximity to other top schools (Churchlands Senior High, Hale and Newman College included), shopping, sporting facilities, gorgeous Bold Park itself, Perry Lakes, Wembley Golf Course, public transport and easy access into the city and you will soon find out just how good of a location this actually is. Both modern elegance and executive excellence await you here in the grandest of fashions!
