A home of substance on an estate-sized block, this property is a true generational home. A Masterpiece carefully renovated and extended by Architect John Royal to create an extraordinary family property.
The significant 1,290sqm landholding and coveted northern backyard ensure the light, space and volume in this property is un-rivalled. A private family home from the street, you will feel a sense of calm and balance as you enter this residence which retains its exquisite Character features with graceful formal rooms, detailed plasterwork, open fireplaces, wide Jarrah timber floors and exquisite lead lighting, while also offering practical and versatile living spaces for a large family.
The size and scale in the original part of the home is maintained with the additions, as the formal living leads to a big open plan family area, which in turn opens to a huge undercover verandah, perfect for outdoor entertaining and hosting family events. The family room also features highlight windows, bringing in the light from the north.
From the entertaining verandah, you will enjoy a wonderful elevated aspect over the magnificent lawn, landscaped gardens and swimming pool, which will provide your family with years of fun and happy times.
The accommodation is extensive with four bedroom options, including an alternate Master bedroom with ensuite. In the northern pavilion there is a guest suite and a library or retreat for children or adults. The master suite is located on the first floor and has a stunning view over the gardens and out over the treetops to the north.
Nestled in the heart of the vibrant Swanbourne community, this home has access to all the recreational areas and parkland that lies between Lake Claremont, Creswell Park, Allen Park and on to Swanbourne Beach. An easy walk to your local primary school and Scotch College, this home is also near bus routes to all Private Schools and Shenton College, while the Swanbourne Village is only a short street and laneway walk to the south.
Like it has been for the current owners, this will be a home for your family to treasure for the next 25 to 30 years and we know you will enjoy your role as custodians of this fine residence.
