Brilliant reinvention of historic stone home
In a prime position on the hill with the river a walk away, this classic stone cottage has been reinvented with flair and imagination. Crisp white interiors complement the original luxuries of thick stone walls, very high ceilings and wide jarrah boards, while the new extravagance of a deluxe bathroom and modern kitchen ensure contemporary comfort. It’s tempting to take this makeover to the next step with further extension to the rear, and to contemplate the incredible river and ocean views that would be gained by a second storey in this elevated location.
A decorative iron gate with security code access leads to a beautifully-conceived outdoor dining and entertaining space at the front of the home. High-walled privacy, a bespoke timber water feature, ceramic heater, built-in barbecue and stone firepit under the removable table top all give this space abundant atmosphere.
The bright red front door adds a touch of drama to the stone surrounds, and inside, original jarrah boards flow throughout. Two air-conditioned bedrooms open from the traditional corridor, both with northern windows and a wall of storage. One features a magnificent double-hung sash window to the front courtyard, and the other has a built-in desk and a custom-made raised timber bed with extensive storage cleverly concealed underneath.
High ceilings give a sense of airy space to the living room beyond, with excellent northern light and built-in cabinetry around the fireplace. Above, the television is seamlessly built-in, and is also wired for easy monitoring of the property’s security camera system. Step through to the black-and-white kitchen, with splashbacks of elegant hand-made tiles and a big five-burner Italian range. The bathroom is magnificent, with granite-tiled walls and floor in shades of grey, a frameless glass double shower, marble double vanity, a gorgeous freestanding oval bath and integrated sound system.
A paved alfresco leads to a minimalist easy-care garden with garden shed, and impressive steel gates at the rear. Beyond is a large common parcel of land shared with neighbours, accessed via a laneway and offering ample parking and plenty of potential.
Already renovated and updated with a rare sense of style, this home offers even more opportunity to extend and make the most of a wonderfully privileged location where you can walk down the hill to riverside parkland.
