Modern French Provincial Farmhouse | An Architectural Delight

All Offers By 28 March at 5pm, seller reserves the right to sell sooner.

A discreet gravel road, framed in fruit trees and wild natives, ushers the eye to an enchanting landscape honouring ‘French provincial farmhouse’ style & modern coastal luxe. Solid French oak floors, a custom designed kitchen with East Asian influence and rustic limestone aesthetics define the alluring charm of this light-bathed sanctuary.

Architect, Andrew Macliver (A&A Macliver Architecture & Interior Design) imparted pure consideration and intuitive design into the creation of this double storey, white washed residence, located on a rear allotment which borders sprawling parkland and catches ocean views from the luxury, top-floor master suite.

Soaring vaulted ceilings anchored by a grand antique-style copper chandelier and gas wood fire set the scene for stylish farmhouse chic in the (north-facing) open plan living, kitchen and dining.

A wall of French doors frame tranquil views to a provincial style garden/terrace (designed by Freo-based Garden Deva) overlooking a limestone clad outdoor fireplace (commissioned by a local Italian stonemason) and rows of Mediterranean herbs, wild cat mint and majestic bay trees.

The owners appointed East West Design to curate the breathtaking kitchen aesthetic inclusive of a huge mango wood-topped island bench with black stained cabinetry, brass hardware and a French farmhouse-style ceramic sink and rangehood. The mango wood is continued throughout the benchtops, shelving and walk-in pantry – all custom designed for seamless access and abundant storage.

An extra-large Smeg oven and 5-burner gas stove, white subway tiles, brushed nickel Oliveri tapware and two impressive Valentine Glass & antique copper pendant lights complete this inviting hearth of the home.

The surprise inclusion of a cozy theatre room, clad in oatmeal-hued wool carpet and a rich midnight blue interior, extends to the terrace to maximise the practical attributes of this space.

Three spacious secondary bedrooms wrap around the rear of the home – one in particular evokes vibes of a Mediterranean villa thanks to generous French doors and private access to a sunny limestone wall-enclosed courtyard – offset by a charming wrought-iron feature gate (custom finished by a local blacksmith). While another bedroom enjoys courtyard views via a large ceiling-to-floor window.

Upstairs is dedicated entirely to luxuriating in master-suite bliss. A sky-high vaulted ceiling creates abundant light and space, while French doors catch views of the indigo sea beyond.

A galley-style dressing room, custom designed by the owners, extends seamlessly to a grand (unstained timber) double vanity ensuite with a free-standing egg-shaped tub, frameless walk-in shower & a huge double hung (opaque) window designed to maximise views from either the shower or bathtub with considered discretion.

The ground floor family bathroom is equally impressive with a stunning Indonesian, free-standing timber carved vanity, decorative antique brass candle sconces and a huge frameless glass walk-in shower (both with rain shower headsets).

Other features include a powder-room, spacious laundry & understairs storage room, a combination of ducted reverse-cycle & split-system air-conditioning throughout, bespoke light fittings along with downlighting, a double carport and off-street parking, garden shed and fully reticulated, water efficient gardens replete with three different types of jasmine and 14 different fruit trees (pears, apples, plums, fig, peach, nectarine, citrus & mulberry, plus elderflower plants), and key locks on all doors and windows.

Just a short drive to Fremantle and South Beach, excellent primary schools around the corner, an iconic food market down the road, and loads of parkland, cafes and wellness options to explore, this home is by far one of Beaconsfield’s finest examples of smart, energy efficient living without compromising on space or luxury.
