Before you enter this gigantic three storey wonder, go with the knowledge that this grandeur property was once a humble one storey abode. The current owner burrowed under and built on top, creating over time an incredible blend of contemporary verses traditional on all three levels.
As you walk in you’ll be greeted with high ceilings, classic wood floors, and vast spaces. All three bathrooms on the first floor have undergone complete renovations, resulting in impeccable modern finishes. Living spaces have also undergone transformations, but have kept their old charm with old print wallpaper as well as classic light fittings.
Your journey upstairs involves wrought iron banisters as well as beautiful stained glass windows. Old wooden window frames feature consistently throughout the whole property, adding to its traditional theme.
Upstairs is your kitchen/dining/living space, as well as stunning uninterrupted views of the Perth City skyline. This view can be taken in from a large alfresco, with wooden shutter windows that can be pulled completely aside.
Venture downstairs to the games room, theatre room, spacious cellar, let’s not forget the low maintenance outside entertainment area, a luxurious lap pool and large showering facilities.
FEATURES TO LOVE
The Location
Nestled in the heart of Mt Lawley, the property is a stone’s throw from Beaufort Street, yet just outside of noise pollution interferences. The location also offers that incredible untouched city skyline view.
Master Bedroom Walk-in-wardrobe.
This space is definitely worth a mention. This walk in wardrobe was larger than a standard bedroom and fitted with impeccable ebony wardrobe fittings, not to mention an impressive chandelier that dominates the room.
The Old Versus New
This house has such an incredible balance of old vs new. The slick modern bathrooms, kitchen, and overall finishing merge perfectly with stain glass windows, wrought iron banisters, old wooden floorings/window frames. It leaves this notion that the home was built with passion and taste. This home is majestic yet approachable, immaculate yet liveable.
On the Downside
The outside entertainment area, although low maintenance, is surprisingly small when compared to the rest of the house. In saying that, most of the entertainment would take place in view of the incredible Perth skyline on the upstairs alfresco. Also worth noting, the huge spaces that exist throughout the property would be an incredible task to keep clean!
