This 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is perfectly positioned on a 1,012sqm block, with breathtaking views of the South Beach and out across the ocean to Rottnest.
The unassuming street level entrance immediately creates a holiday feel with its lush greenery and tranquil bridged koi pond. The entry hall draws you down past the first four bedrooms into the expansive light filled, open-plan living space, made even more voluminous by the 3.6 metre ceilings. This main living area greets with scenic ocean views which remain the dominant feature as you move out onto an immaculately presented outdoor deck entertaining area.
The property boasts high ceilings, polished timber floorboards and a clean contemporary feel throughout. The kitchen wraps around a four-metre-long stone breakfast bar with chic industrial pendant lights and is fitted with premium integrated Miele appliances and a NEFF induction cooktop. The spacious living area also comprises a separate cosy dining booth drenched in warm northern light in winter with ocean views over the west facing balcony. There is an underground cellar/storage area beneath the floorboards in the main living area and a study nook opposite the kitchen.
The expansive living space flows seamlessly through to the alfresco area, creating the ultimate entertaining space. The alfresco area has timber decking, sunshades, and covered patio with a timber ceiling. Entertaining the largest group is easy with the fully equipped outdoor Ferguson kitchen, bar fridge, BBQ with plumbed gas and even an electronic sausage turner! The addition of a locally made wood fired oven and outdoor fireplace makes this space irresistible for summer and winter fun.
There are 4 carpeted bedrooms upstairs all with built-in robes and storage. The master bedroom is the size of a small flat with an ante room looking out through French doors onto the pond garden and then flowing on to the bedroom and large master bathroom. These two rooms are interchangeable depending on preference.
Upstairs there are 2 stunning modern bathrooms with high end tapware and heated towel rails. The main bathroom has a large vanity, shower and a separate bath. Bedrooms 2 & 4 have ample storage space with built in robes and window seats. Bedroom 3 has plenty of natural light, with french doors that open out to the front garden, along with a queen mezzanine bed suspended over a study nook beneath.
The lower level outdoor area has a spectacular 50sqm solar heated pool, 8 seater spa, fire pit area and 2 car garage with additional storage/workshop space for the handy person. There is an irrigation system in place to manage all lower level garden beds including the laneway. The laneway is very secure and easily accessible, making it a safe place for children to play and ride bikes.
The lower level of the house has another living area, kitchen, bedroom, study, bathroom and laundry making it ideal for inter generational living, for visitors or as extra space for a larger family. This portion of the home can remain separate or it can be used as a theatre, games room or entertaining area. The home office situated downstairs is spacious with French doors opening on to the lower outdoor area, with a relaxing view of the pool and garden. It is the ideal place to work from home.
This home was designed for the most cost-effective use of power and water. Constructed in reverse brick veneer, it holds the winter heat in whilst in summer vents it out through the wall cavity. Utilising large e-glass windows and doors the house gets first use of the famous Fremantle Doctor which means the use of the air conditioning is very low. Power costs are offset through the installation of a 28 panel roof-mounted solar array. A 22,500L concrete subterranean water tank installed under the garage captures roof water and pumps it to the house for general use through a Range Mate filter system. Not only does it provide fresh drinking water that is topped up from mains water as needed, it also has a pump installed to ensure water pressure is stronger than mains pressure even with all the showers operating simultaneously.
Key features include: - Ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning throughout - 3 phase power to the house and alarm system - 100,000L solar heated magna pool and 8 seater spa - Rainwater harvesting to 22,500L tank below garage floor and solar heating on the garage roof - Laundry chute and basement cellar - Heated towel rails in bathrooms - Extra-large double garage plus front driveway parking - Gas fireplace with remote control in main living area - Electronic shades to the deck to shield the house from the western sun - Retractable Sunshades over the deck
