Live in one of the most beautiful mid-century homes in Wembley Downs - a meticulously restored 1960s modernist dream.
Nestled among lush, established gardens on a generous 1,012sqm block, this spacious, light-filled five-bedroom residence offers a lifestyle of effortless comfort with absolutely nothing left to do but move in and enjoy.
Originally built in 1968, the home has been painstakingly restored and upgraded with no expense spared, with interiors curated by LOU Day Design. Completed in 2022, the transformation beautifully balances contemporary ease with the warmth and character of its mid-century origins.
Standing proudly on Ailsa Street, the split-level home captivates with its striking street presence, bold rooflines and expansive front balcony. An original stone garden wall leads to a light-filled entry, where a versatile multi-purpose room offers the perfect playroom, study or additional living space.
Engineered oak floors flow through the foyer into the spectacular open-plan living zone, positioned on the upper level beneath soaring raked ceilings. The balcony, with its laser-cut balustrading, captures sweeping views and tranquil treetop outlook that enhances the home's sense of privacy and space.
The kitchen is both stylish and sympathetic to the home's mid-century heritage, enjoying beautiful views toward Wembley Golf Course. Appointed with a five-burner gas cooktop, integrated dishwasher, double Bosch ovens, generous storage, it connects seamlessly to the alfresco via a servery window. Laminam porcelain benchtops unify both spaces, while the alfresco kitchenette is perfect for entertaining.
Outdoors, premier composite decking, a fireplace, electric blinds, ceiling fan and in-ceiling speakers create a year-round entertaining zone. The architecturally designed gardens are lush and mature, with expansive lawns front and back, Corten steel edging, nature play area with sandpit and bore with stainstopper irrigation.
A stunning 8.3m x 3.3m swimming pool provides the perfect place to relax and entertain. The pool is heated via an electric heater, powered by the home's solar system, and features a magnesium salt system, filtration with additional UV sterilisation unit, and integrated lighting. Pool electronics are conveniently controlled via a mobile phone app. The surrounding concrete pool terrace extends to a dedicated sun lounger area, complete with anchor point for an in-ground umbrella.
The main suite opens to the rear gardens and features a bespoke dressing room and a luxurious, hotel-inspired ensuite with freestanding bath, oversized walk-in shower with twin rain heads and skylight, and a built-in makeup station.
Three north-facing secondary bedrooms are serviced by a stylish family bathroom with terrazzo tiling and a striking marri and stone twin vanity, with two bedrooms featuring custom floor-to-ceiling robes.
A home office with built-in desk and garden access sits at the front of the home, ideal for remote work or to be used as another bedroom. Original timber windows and doors have been restored and painted black, preserving the home's character while complementing its contemporary palette. The home is naturally cooled by cross-ventilation and also features split-system air-conditioning and ceiling fans. Recently installed solar panels and electric vehicle charger further enhance the home's energy efficiency and modern convenience.
Downstairs, a staircase leads to the oversized double garage with extra-height ceilings, workshop, drop zone and a fully renovated laundry complete with external access, shower and extensive storage. The poured aggregate driveway provides ample off-street parking, a gated side bay ideal for a trailer or boat - perfect for rinsing off in the laundry after a day at the beach or on the water.
