Beyond lush front gardens and gorgeous white picket fences on a commanding corner site lies this single level expansive 4 bedroom 4 bathroom home - only minutes to the heart of Claremont and Swanbourne.
High ceilings with decorative ornate finishes, solid wooden floorboards, period skirting and classic light fittings are commonplace throughout the residence, including within a spacious master-bedroom suite where an exquisite fireplace in the corner, a home office with double doors and a walk-in wardrobe complement a divine ensuite bathroom behind the privacy of double French doors - twin "his and hers" stone vanities, free-standing claw-foot bathtub, toilet, bidet and all. Also at the front of the house is a huge formal lounge room that has its own mantled fireplace, as well as plenty of book shelving.
The open-plan family, dining and kitchen area is both stylish and contemporary, featuring a corner pot-belly heater, a scullery, a breakfast bar for casual meals, an integrated drinks fridge, sleek stainless-steel range-hood and dishwasher appliances, a gas cooktop, an under-bench Miele oven, a Miele coffee machine and separate oven and well-appointed Hamptons-like cabinetry. There is an extra sitting or music room off here with yet another fireplace, as well as built-in seating and storage.
A separate wine cellar/bar in the basement boasts split-system air-conditioning for climate control, as well as ample storage for over 600 bottles. All four bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and the third bedrooms ensuite doubles as a guest bathroom/ powder room.
Outdoors and either side of benched seating you will find a built-in barbecue and wood-fire pizza oven to impress your guests with, both pleasantly overlooking a delightful courtyard deck for entertaining under the shade. Double doors link this space to the home's main living zone for a seamless integration. A hidden swimming pool down the side of the house is exactly where you want to be this summer, tucked away from the rest of the world.
The wildcard of the floor plan is a self-contained one-bedroom one-bathroom studio apartment - that is perfect for teenagers or older-generation family members with its own kitchenette, stove, oven, fridge, sitting/sleeping area, eating nook and ensuite. Completing the picture is a double lock-up carport, secured by its very own gate for peace of mind.
