Nestled into the hillside of the Buckland Hill Estate, with magnificent panoramic Swan River views; a restrained, timeless, elegant residence and an outstanding home of distinction and substance designed by renowned Fremantle architect, Gerard McCann.
Accessed via a private, gated drive; a secure slatted door opens into a beautiful sheltered courtyard. The captivating ochre render and tall white window frames set with arch detail, is reminiscent of archetypal French village homes, protected behind high limestone walls for privacy.
Perfectly oriented to capture beautiful northern light and summer breezes; interiors feature grandly proportioned, beautifully balanced spaces at every turn, with a sublime harmony of graceful formal and casual entertaining areas spilling effortlessly to glorious poolside and outdoor terraces. Impressively spacious rooms flow from the entrance hall - a refined, elegant dining and sitting room anchored by an open, flued fireplace, eight sets of French doors for perfect integration with the outdoors and an enormous, well-appointed farmhouse style kitchen and meals area opening to the terrace and deck.
Glorious established gardens grace the residence and offer a multitude of spaces for relaxing, entertaining and play with a majestic Swan River backdrop. A pristine pool with limestone deck, splendid dining terrace with Virginia creeper draped over a timber pergola, lawns for the kids to play and a private high walled courtyard with custom seating and pizza oven - a wonderful spot to capture the warmth of winter sunshine.
Other ground floor rooms comprise a guest bedroom with French doors opening to the courtyard, powder room and large laundry with adjacent shower room.
The upper floor hosts abundant accommodation - a gorgeously bright and airy master bedroom with high vaulted ceiling and tall windows on three walls cascading natural light inwards and offering spectacular views over the river and towards the ocean. There's also a neat en-suite and generous walk in robe. Two further large bedrooms have fabulous river views, and another North facing with garden views, all with built in robes and space for desks, while a study overlooks the courtyard. The expansive second living/TV room also doubles as a home office with floor to ceiling custom cabinetry and desk and also offers stunning river views.
A spectacular family home with plenty of space for even the biggest family, located in a gorgeously tranquil spot in Mosman Park close to the river surrounded by parklands, excellent public and private schools, with easy access to public transport, shopping, cafes, beaches and the CBD.
