Home to the same family for close to 40 years, this spacious and light-filled Floreat home combines the best of mid-century character with a modern and family-friendly floorplan, as well as a stunning north facing garden oasis.
Lovers of period detailing will appreciate the home's polished jarrah floor boards, towering ceilings and decorative plasterwork... all of which have been lovingly maintained over the years.
Substantial renovations have resulted in a contemporary and extremely liveable family home, adding a large open plan kitchen and family area and a separate children’s wing. The expansive floorplan now provides distinct zones for children and parents, with 4 or 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, two separate living areas and a generous home office.
The front section of the home is devoted to parents. The original lounge and dining area, with its lovely old timber mantle-piece, provides an elegant location for entertaining or perhaps a quiet spot for reading, the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of family life.
The master bedroom and a renovated bathroom are also tucked away here, well separated from the rest of the home. A second bedroom in this area would make an ideal nursery for younger children, or even a second study for parents working from home.
Beyond these original rooms, this delightful property opens out into a contemporary family home, with a generous kitchen and living area flowing through timber French doors onto an expansive north-facing garden, providing a seamless transition from indoors to out.
Featuring solid timber cabinetry and dark granite benchtops, the kitchen is the hub of the home, overlooking a casual meals area to one side and the expansive family room to the other. Bathed in northern light, this area caters to entertaining on a grand scale, featuring exceptionally high ceilings with warm timber flooring underfoot.
A large study adjacent to the meals area is a rare and highly sought after addition, while a separate wing of two further bedrooms and large family bathroom provides ideal separation between parents and kids.
Beyond the family room, the enormous resort style back garden has played host to many gatherings of friends and family over the years. The salt water swimming pool and large expanse of lawn are a children's paradise, while a covered patio and sheltered alfresco area ensure year round enjoyment.
Ideally located in the highly sought after Shenton College catchment, this lovely home sits in the midst of a wonderfully community-minded neighbourhood, a short walk to Floreat Forum, Floreat Primary School, Perry Lakes and the cafes and restaurants of Birkdale Street.
