A MODERN-DAY DREAM HOME WITH HERITAGE AND HISTORY

DUNCRAIG HOUSE
Photography: Dylan Fox - Finesse Photography

Effortlessly elegant, light, warm, and welcoming, Duncraig House is a regal home blending modern-day finishes with the timeless charm of yesteryear. Designed by Hocking Heritage + Architecture and featuring interiors by Gameface HQ and Leah Paige Designs, this home perfectly merges heritage and contemporary styles.  Landscape and Garden Design by the well renowned Australian Paul Bangay. Paul Bangay is Australia's most sought-after garden designer. Known for his mastery of scale, balance, form and colour, Paul draws on his lifelong study of the natural and classical worlds to create gardens around the globe.

One of the most enchanting features of Duncraig House is its connection to the outdoors. Nearly every room opens onto the expansive wraparound balcony or verandas, capturing sea breezes and natural light, enhancing the relaxing ambiance.

Located on prestigious Duncraig Road, the home's Federation elevation gives little hint of the surprises beyond its walls. A sweeping driveway culminates in bays for up to six cars, or use the second drive to the undercroft garage, designed to accommodate 25 cars with an electric turning circle. This garage includes a workshop, gym, sauna, and a lounge with a bar and DJ station, perfect for unforgettable parties.

The basement also features a wellness lounge with a sauna, steam room, and shower space lined with Bisazza mosaic tiles, epitomizing luxury. Access via a contemporary glass extension with Travertine limestone floors, a floating staircase, and a five-person lift adds to the home's grandeur.

The formal entry boasts panelled jarrah walls, a grand staircase, and bookmatched Noir Saint Laurent marble floor. A hidden door conceals a large laundry. Nearby, a handsome library serves as a peaceful home office with a custom-designed desk, offering views across the Swan River.

The foyer leads to the majestic formal living and dining area with marble dado wall panelling and a meticulously crafted bar. A 1200-bottle, temperature-controlled wine cellar and a quaint powder room with pressed metal walls enhance the home's heritage charm.

Restored jarrah floors and marble wall panelling highlight the sitting area with a fireplace. Adjacent is a stunning lounge room with modern timber wall panelling. Open the doors to the gardens with rambling lawns, a 12-person spa, and an infinity edge salt-chlorinated pool, making it one of Perth's most spectacular outdoor entertaining spaces, with over 750m2 of French Pattern Travertine pavers.  Taking a nod from local history as well, the outdoor alfresco features recycled Jarrah beams from the Old Mandurah Bridge.

The alfresco kitchen with honed marble bench tops, a woodfired pizza oven, barbecue, and adjoining dining space is perfect for entertaining. 

This home is ideal for large-scale entertaining, from long table Christmas lunches to company parties spilling across the lawns. Multiple bedroom wings make it perfect for families or guests. Children will love exploring the sprawling grounds with a calming water feature.

The upper floor landing features a spacious family room opening onto the front balcony, flowing into the open-plan kitchen and dining area. The exquisite kitchen includes a black marble island, brass and timber open shelves, integrated wine fridges, and the best Miele appliances.

The main suite encompasses the western wing, with uninterrupted views and a beautiful ensuite with a freestanding bath. The suite includes an exquisite dressing room with bespoke cabinetry and water views. Three secondary bedroom suites, each with bespoke robes and luxurious ensuites, offer access to the wraparound balcony.

The western side of the home includes a kitchen garden with raised beds and a view across the Swan River. It also offers private access to an ancillary dwelling, a luxurious 'granny flat' with sweeping river views, its own foyer, open-plan living, a bespoke kitchen, and an ensuite, ideal for elderly relatives or guests.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a landmark home that was once part of a hospital is now ready to become the next chapter in your family's story.
