Rich, old-world charm is seamlessly paired with a contemporary aesthetic that balances playful touches and refined details. As you move through the home, there is a natural transition from the stately grandeur of the exterior to thoughtfully placed bursts of colour and soft, earthy tones that create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

From the moment you enter through the leadlight front door, the grandeur of the past is immediately felt. The entry lobby is crowned by an ornate recessed cupola and chandelier, casting a warm glow on the jarrah floorboards below. Glass battened leadlight double doors open into the formal lounge, where a second chandelier, a north-facing bay window, and a custom-built library invite you to relax. This space, ideal for formal hosting or quiet reflection, harks back to the golden era of grand entertaining.

Moving deeper into the home, its scale becomes apparent. High ceilings, fretwork arches, and intricate details blend seamlessly with contemporary design elements to create a space that feels both expansive and intimate. The long corridor leads you past five generously sized bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms, each offering the flexibility and functionality required for modern family living.

The main suite is both classical and contemporary, with a bay window, stained glass feature window, overhead ceiling rose and built-in robe. A luxurious ensuite with feature tiling, Italian tapware, a freestanding bathtub, and a separate shower elevates this space to spa-like luxury. A second oversized bedroom, complete with its own ensuite and walk-in robe, offers a perfect retreat for older children or two siblings, while three further bedrooms ensure that the whole family is comfortably accommodated. The fifth bedroom or home office, enjoys its own doorway leading onto the front verandah. 

Designed by Prince Design and built by Lux Interiors, the kitchen, laundry and mudroom, and corresponding powder room and main bathroom were completely renovated in 2023, leading these inspiring spaces to win the 2023 HIA Western Australian Kitchen and Bathroom Awards and the Hart & Co Laundry Design Excellence (Winner) and the Hart & Co Kitchen Design Excellence (Finalist). The designs are a marriage of practicality and beauty, evident in every custom cabinet, high-end appliance, and carefully chosen material.

In the kitchen, a suite of top-tier appliances have been curated to enhance the cooking and entertaining experience, including two Neff combi-steamer ovens and a Neff induction hob, a Falmec downdraft extractor, two Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwashers, an integrated Liebherr Monolith fridge and freezer, and a Zip tap for instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water. The latest technology is complemented by bespoke brass mesh cabinetry and an Ilanel Melbourne pendant light, ensuring that this kitchen is both a culinary haven and a design statement of itself.

The adjoining laundry and mudroom echo the same attention to detail, offering generous storage and cleverly integrated features. Practicality never compromises on style here, with design choices that tie these spaces together. 

The attention to detail continues in the main bathroom and powder room, where these spaces offer a playful touch to modern elegance. The main bathroom features Italian subway tiles and terrazzo tiles, Luxaflex skylight, living metal brass tapware, Antonio Lupi sink, an original mid-century modern vanity, a bespoke storage vanity mirror and heated towel rails. The powder room features a limited edition Tres Tintas Barcino wallpaper mural, bespoke mirror, Italian subway tiles and terrazzo tiles and living metal brass tapware. 

Resting off the kitchen is the impressive open plan living and dining area, suitable for hosting large gatherings or simply absorbing the day-to-day needs of the family. Stunning sash windows echo the old world whilst flooding the space with abundant natural light. 

One of the home's standout features is its seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living. The alfresco area, accessible from both the kitchen and living spaces, is designed for year-round enjoyment and just perfect for those in-coming Summer nights. A built-in barbecue, timber-lined ceiling, and deck create the perfect setting for entertaining, all while overlooking the swimming pool and adjacent cabana. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet family evening, this space offers a private setting for relaxation and entertainment. Surrounded by grassed areas, there are excellent spaces for play and for pets.
