8 Columba Place, Peppermint Grove WA 6011

Live out your entertaining dreams in style in this stunning architect-designed home. Completed in 1970 by renowned Ferguson Architects, this north-facing house has a floor plan so ahead of the curve it could have been designed this year. This light-filled home has been meticulously renovated to the highest standards, turning it into a warm, bespoke four bedroom, four bathroom home with edgy style and timeless modern details. From double-glazed windows to heated floors, nothing has been overlooked, and there is nothing left to do except move in, relax and invite everyone over. This is the sort of house that begs for memories to be made and parties to be had. Plan for dinners and barbecues in the front garden, sitting by the wisteria that wraps around the huge patio or entertain inside through winter in the capacious open-plan kitchen, living and dining with fabulous high ceilings and French oak herringbone floors.

Passionate cooks will fall in love with the bespoke designer kitchen with custom-made splashback by Alloy and beautiful grey-green brushed granite benchtops with specially crafted chiselled edges. Integrated Gaggenau appliances include a combination steam oven with a warming tray, while a German-made BORA gas cooktop burner with an induction teppanyaki plate has a concealed bench exhaust, enhancing the streamlined modern look. Or pull some bottles from the substantial temperature-controlled wine cellar and host leisurely cocktail parties that spill out into the central courtyard, where magnolias scent the air and a curved raised garden bed wraps around a mature Chinese tallow tree.

This is a house that surprises and delights as its floor plan unfolds, from the substantial laundry hidden behind a clever 'secret' door, to the winding staircase that opens up to a private main suite. And right when you think you have reached the end, there is another surprise - set in a lush back garden is the home's large, original 1970's pool, beautifully restored and retiled with iridescent mosaics. The freestanding pool cabana encompasses a stunning bathroom and designer kitchen with marble benchtop, 900mm Miele oven, induction teppanyaki plate and integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Relax under the poolside patio while the kids play in the pool and lawn, or watch a movie in the adjoining TV room (with underfloor heating) - you may never leave this pool area in summer.

The luxurious main bedroom suite has raked ceilings that maximise the north-south orientation and huge built-in robes and dresser with Fenix anti-fingerprint cabinet fronts. A sliding door tiled in Alloy stainless steel tiles reveals the modern ensuite with vanity and a huge shower. Bedroom 2 overlooks the pool and sits to a quiet corner of the ground floor and off the hallway is Bedroom 4. A huge studio bedroom is in another wing, and has electronic blinds, floors tiled in Italian Laminam and a German Interlubke built-in robe with illuminated shelves and lighting. Every ensuite and bathroom in this home has been finished with utmost thought, with features including fully tiled walls, underfloor heating to the main house bathrooms and finishes including porcelain and marble tiling.
