The "wow factor" most certainly applies to this stunning two-storey family home that has been cleverly-modelled and solidly-built from a classic English Georgian home, providing your family with a secure, peaceful and private lifestyle on a huge corner block that is comfortable to live and entertain in all year round.
Situated on one of Claremont's most elevated locations, it is hidden behind high walls with impressive iron gates that open to reveal a vast manicured garden with sweeping lawns. As one walks around the park-like garden, the sound of water can be heard from two classic water fountains.
On entering, the home opens up with its spacious double height entrance hall and grand staircase. The extensive Donnybrook stonework in this area was created by renowned Perth sculptor and stonemason, Viktor Eszenyi. The grand entrance hall separates the home into formal and informal zones with double thick internal walls and intricate pelmets and ledges. The generously sized formal lounge and dining room has double French doors that open out to intimate east-facing courtyards, perfect for enjoying a cup of tea while reading the newspapers on a beautiful morning.
Opposite the formal area is the massive informal living area with open plan family, dining and kitchen areas. The huge kitchen with black granite benchtops, European appliances and large island is a dream for home chefs. Two sets of double French doors allow the living areas to be opened up to the expansive tiled alfresco area, creating an inside-outside space. Designed for year round trans-seasonal entertaining the spacious alfresco area overlooks an inviting salt-water pool; and boasts outdoor blinds, a second kitchen with sink, barbecue and fridge. The current owners love entertaining and have had parties comfortably accommodating more than 350 guests in the alfresco area.
The generously sized garage can comfortably fit 4 large cars and has its own storage attic with easy access via a drop-down ladder.
Back inside, the carpeted den is another entertainer's delight; a recreation room reminiscent of an English bar. It is warmed by a gas fireplace and comes complete with an authentic antique bar imported from England. Affectionately known as a man-cave', this comfortable, inviting room is often used as a space for entertaining small groups of friends by the current owners. The den can also be used as a theatre room, games room or an extra bedroom. Double French doors allow the den to be opened onto a delightful courtyard with gas barbecue, fountain and retractable awning, the perfect space for drinking champagne, prior to dinner, as the sun sets.
The sleeping quarters are upstairs. Every bedroom is generous in size, has a leafy outlook and spacious walk-in or built-in wardrobes. The piece de resistance is the luxurious master wing with its double entrance doors. It has a huge walk-in dressing room, light-filled ensuite bathroom and access to a connecting study/ library that could also function as a nursery of epic proportions.
Stroll to the picturesque Swan River foreshore reserve, top public and private schools and
public transport, whilst being very close to to Claremont Quarter and our
crystal-clear Indian Ocean waters less than five minutes away. Something special well
and truly awaits you here!
