LUXURIOUS FAMILY LIVING IN A SOUGHT AFTER LOCALE FIRST HOME OPEN THIS SATURDAY 21ST JUNE FROM 3.00PM - 3.45PM.AUCTION SATURDAY 5TH JULY AT 11AM (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR).This expansive, dual level family home in the heart of this prestigious riverside precinct, has been built to accommodate even the largest of families.With three separate living spaces across two different levels, it offers a versatile, family friendly footprint, just moments from river and city and all of the amenities this vibrant suburb has to offer.This reproduction of a 1930s Californian bungalow was built 20 years ago. This means the building technology is modern, as are the room sizes and layout, plumbing, electrical circuitry, building materials and windows. As such they have a much younger structural integrity than other homes offering a similar aesthetic in the surrounding suburb. However, lead-light doors to the formal lounge have been taken from an original 1930's bungalow though, which aids the sense of authenticity.Taking up almost the entire 739sqm footprint with dual street frontage and a resort style pool and stunning alfresco cabana, it's an entertainer's paradise set on a surprisingly low maintenance, corner block.This impressive home opens into a formal lounge with original leadlight windows and French doors, generous ceilings and polished Jarrah floorboards.A study and north facing master suite with ensuite and adjoining dressing room sits to the front of the home with another three bedrooms, all with bespoke, built-in cabinetry, sharing a generously sized second bathroom with separate bath and shower.The open plan kitchen and living space is one of this home's stand-out features. A striking, central modern kitchen features an array of white lacquer cabinetry with rich dark granite bench tops and stainless steel European appliances including a commercial grade cooktop and overhead range hood.Opening into a large, light filled informal living space with a plethora of built-in storage and cabinetry, it then moves seamlessly into an alfresco entertaining space via a panel of timber bi-fold doors.This stunning outdoor zone features a fully integrated second kitchen with stone bench tops, a rotisserie and wood fired pizza oven with bi-fold doors opening into a resort style pool.The second level features a fully equipped theatre room with tiered leather seating and a wall mounted large screen and a third living space with direct access out on to a north-facing terrace.A fifth and sixth bedroom with a private bathroom add another dimension in terms of accommodation options with further storage facilities available upstairs. The accommodation and living spaces upstairs and down, offer growing families the option of separation as children mature.This is an impressive family home, just minutes from the city, the river and some of Perth's best private and public schools. Able to comfortably accommodate even the largest of families with ease, it offers up a multitude of entertaining and living options on a deceptively low maintenance block.FEATURES:- Plenty of accommodation and living spaces- Open plan ground floor living and kitchen with granite bench tops and stainless steel appliances- Study and library room with extensive storage options- Double remote control garage- Security shutters on all windows- Resort style pool with automated security cover- Outdoor cabana with fully equipped kitchen with wood fired pizza oven, rotisserie and built-in bbq- Theatre room with drop down projector and tiered seating- Walking distance to Angelo Street shopping precinct, within easy reach of Wesley and Penrhos CollegesAdditional feature/s - Air Conditioning.
