A classic character lounge and three spacious bedrooms flank an elegant hallway that seamlessly connects to the new addition completed in 2018. This light filled addition flows out to a timber deck, enhancing the flow between indoors and out. The blend of old and new is nearly indistinguishable, thanks to an all-white interior that enhances the generous floor plan, lofty ceilings, original fireplace surround and Jarrah floorboards.
Outside, the leafy garden offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor living, while a single car garage and a further off street parking bay adds the ultimate in inner-city convenience.
The thoughtfully designed floor plan ensures that the house features both open areas for social gatherings and quiet spaces for relaxation. At the front, a classical lounge room with plantation shutters and a decorative deco fireplace combine to create a bright and airy ambience. A second more contemporary living area to the rear adjoins the open plan kitchen and dining area, making it ideal for families needing additional spaces and for casual entertaining.
Functionality lies at the heart of this home with a contemporary kitchen that wraps around the dining space. It features stunning Cloudburst Concrete Caesarstone benchtops and backsplash and custom tongue-and-groove cabinetry. Built-in appliances and creative storage solutions ensure a clean and clutter-free appearance 24/7.
Full-height glass doors open to merge the dining area with the outdoor deck, enhancing the opportunity for more expansive living. The extensive use of glazing throughout ensures optimal light, whilst a verdant garden surrounding the residence includes kangaroo paws, flowering plums, and an array of established trees spanning fig, olive, citrus and lilly pilly.
Each bedroom has been updated, ensuring a synergy between the old and the new. Jarrah floors, heritage-style doors, and ceiling cornices to the secondary bedrooms pay tribute to the home’s history, while the contemporary all-white interiors, plantation shutters, and large built-in wardrobes provide convenience.
The main bedroom includes a private ensuite, designed with a calming neutral palette punctuated with chrome Phoenix tapware and fittings. Calacatta Nuvo Caesarstone benchtops and floor-to-ceiling subway tiles are complemented by subtle motif floor tiles that ground the design, whilst a walk-in rain head shower creates a luxurious hotel ambience. The second bathroom features a similar aesthetic and includes a combination bath and shower, extensive storage, and laundry facilities. A horizontal skylight ensures plenty of sunlight filters into the space.
The home's enviable location means it's just a short stroll from beautiful Hyde Park, Beatty Park, and Robertson Park Tennis Centre. A brief walk takes you to the vibrant city centre and the eclectic lifestyle hubs of nearby Leederville, North Perth and Northbridge. Commuting is simple, with easy access to the freeway, and Perth's most gorgeous beaches, along with iconic Kings Park - all within a short drive.
