12 Grimwood Avenue, Gwelup, WA 6018

There is no doubt that this is one of Gwelup's finest homes and a complete one of a kind. 

Celebrated for its innovative design, this exemplary home was featured on television program Australia's Best Houses. Search 'The Warehaus' on YouTube to watch an interview with the architect.

Spectacularly positioned directly opposite beautiful Careniup Reserve and its picturesque lakes and bushland surrounds, this immaculate contemporary masterpiece by Oswald Homes is a warehouse-inspired ex-display residence where architectural styles seamlessly blend to create a captivating and unique living experience, designed for complete privacy.

This striking property marries elements of mid-century modern architecture with industrial touches and Scandinavian design influences, resulting in a bespoke and visually stunning functional finished product that will capture your imagination from every angle. 

Its solar-passive design, centred around a tranquil courtyard and garden inspired by Japanese architecture, brings nature seamlessly indoors. The result is an inviting atmosphere filled with abundant natural light and an overall sense of spaciousness.

Designed with multi-generational living in mind, the home is cleverly divided into two distinct zones. Downstairs, double doors reveal a sumptuous master-bedroom retreat with stylish pendant light fittings, its own reverse-cycle air-conditioning system, and direct access to a private front courtyard that overlooks the parkland and lake across the road. Double sliders extend relaxation into a sublime fully-tiled ensuite with a double width vanity, ceiling-mounted rain shower, a delightful front courtyard vista, a separate toilet and a large fitted walk-in dressing room.

Double cavity sliders give access to a versatile fourth bedroom, home office, nursery or additional lounge room with built-in shelving and lighting. This versatile room has a lovely aspect out to the central courtyard.

The open-plan kitchen includes stone bench tops, a walk-in cool room, an expansive pantry and a large island breakfast bar. The kitchen features Siemens appliances, including an integrated pull-out freezer, an integrated dishwasher, induction cooktop, main oven, steam-oven, combination microwave/oven and warming-drawer. Adjacent to the kitchen is the large dining space with white plantation shutters and views through a central two-way ethanol fireplace to the elegant living room.

The living room with seven in ceiling surround sound speakers and hidden AV system seamlessly extends outside via sliding stacker doors to a magnificent alfresco-entertaining area with a built-in stainless-steel gas bbq, overlooking the courtyard.

Upstairs, the second zone of the house includes a relaxing second living area overlooking the courtyard and extending its northern aspect out on to a great front balcony that is generous in its proportions and takes in its own slice of the park and lake vista.
In addition, two spacious and carpeted double bedrooms both have walk-in robes of their own. The second bedroom opens on to an industrial mezzanine walkway balcony that overlooks the garden below. There is also a walk-in linen press with a laundry chute and a stone kitchenette with space for a wine fridge. Completing this very unique package is a fully tiled main family bathroom with a deep bath, a ceiling-mounted rain shower and a stone vanity, as well as a separate fully tiled powder room.

This amazing residence is just footsteps away from bus stops, Lake Gwelup walking trails and playgrounds, with the Lake Karrinyup Country Club, Carine Senior High School, Primewest Gwelup Shopping Centre and Lake Gwelup Primary School only minutes away. Also within close proximity are other top schools, Karrinyup Shopping Centre and Stirling Train Station. Some of the Perth's best beaches are also nearby and the Perth CBD is accessible via the nearby fwy entrance.
