What we love:
Built in the early 1900s, ‘Marimba’ is a stunning three-bedroom, two-bathroom home standing gracious and proud.
Venture past verdant hedging to an expansive front lawn and elevated wraparound verandah framed by standard roses. Savour the classic design – turned posts, fret work, lead lighting and double hung windows.
Once inside, appreciate the details – wide jarrah floorboards, soaring ceilings, archways, ceiling roses, corbeling, cornicing and architraves, cosy fireplaces, unique pendant and chandelier lighting, and premium drapes and plantation shutters.
Thoughtful renovations to the bathrooms and laundry add stylish modern convenience with unparalleled elegance. The main suite is sumptuous in aesthetic and proportions while the main bathroom is a stunning example of modern minimalist exemplified.
The backyard is positively dreamy. All-weather paved entertaining with pitched pergola, elaborate paving, limestone planter beds aplenty, and steps leading to an even larger lawn than out front (think epic cricket match)! The home keeps on giving with its list of features: covetable separate studio, powered shed almost invisible from the house, mature vegetable garden and a rustic chook pen – all within desirable Mount Lawley.
Minutes from everything you could want and need, yet seemingly miles away, given the absolute peace and serenity.
