7 Lifford Road, Floreat WA 6014

Discover architectural elegance in this landmark property opposite Donegal Park, in Floreat's prized 'West of The Forum' Floreat enclave, a rare gem held by the same family since its inception in 1962.

Admire the idyllic north-south orientation of the home, complemented by an impressive (approx.) 43-metre frontage. The exterior boasts sprawling lawns and a low-skillion roofline, with a Toodyay stone feature wall at the entrance and breeze blocks that create a private courtyard for the main bedroom.

Timber-framed glass walls seamlessly connect interior spaces, revealing Jarrah ceiling beams, floating wall cabinetry, and magnificent parquetry flooring. With clearly delineated living and accommodation zones, the bedroom wing is well-separated from the activities in the two internal living areas, each bathed in perfectly proportioned natural light.

One offers a leafy street and park outlook, while the other provides a birds-eye view over the rear yard. Unwind at the chic corner bar, where your soiree and pool party martinis can be shaken or stirred. Adjacent, the kitchen and meals area boasts a gently raking ceiling, flooded with natural light through wall-length multi-pane windows.

Long admired by locals and those further afield, the property's rich history includes its use as the film set for 'The Shark Net,' a mini-series based on acclaimed Australian author Robert Drewe's novel of the same name.
