Divinely located on a vast north-facing 1012sqm allotment flanked by towering mature trees this iconic home exudes old-world charm around a chic architect-designed fit-out.
Located in Swanbourne's coveted precinct defined by grand stately homes and open parkland, this rare treasure is just steps to the soon-to-be opened Daisies Café Swanbourne and Scotch College, the Claremont Crescent shopping precinct, Cottesloe Beach and public transport.
An independent artist's studio, original workshop, and enchanting garden surrounds offer potential to restore the home's existing grandeur into something truly magical.
The original home, built in 1914 on an elevated, tree-canopied site, celebrates period details from a bygone era; soaring ceilings, rich jarrah floors, sash windows and leadlight details, offset bespoke custom wallpapers, continued throughout the many multi-purpose rooms of the home where its artistic owners lived in creative joy for over six decades, raising five children and consequently entertaining multiple generations.
Framed in a set of leadlight casement quad windows and ceiling-to-floor glass, the front sitting room overlooking the porch is equally suited to a grand master suite, with an original fireplace and full wall of built-in storage.
Other bedrooms extend to whimsical nooks and snugs which offer additional spaces for dressing rooms, libraries, and writing desks.
Independent access from the front porch extends to one of the secondary bedrooms, equipped with a built-in wall-bed unit and surrounding storage.
Main access to the home is via an enchanting light-dappled courtyard where an antique timber door reveals a spectacular architect-designed rear conversion beyond.
A wall of grand picture windows and sliding doors bring softened northern light into the vast open-plan living and dining overlooking verdant gardens, a brick-paved terrace and a charming vine-covered canopy.
The guest bedroom is concealed by a discreet sliding door and enjoys tranquil garden views.
Sharing stunning garden vistas and northern light is a modern glass framed kitchen where oak floors, a huge marble-topped island bench, stainless benchtops and custom sea-foam-hued cabinetry seamlessly integrate into the outdoor greenscape.
Beyond winding brick pavers, centennial trees, and garden beds, sits a wonderful double-bricked, architecturally designed studio, that can also be converted into an independent dwelling. Spectacular double-height cathedral-style windows illuminate the interior fitted with timber vaulted ceilings, a sink, and ceiling fan.
