SOLD BY CONNIE HANDCOCK
At the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, surrounded by trees and tranquillity, this is an inspiring place to live with the home to match. Spanning a prime corner position, this green-title home has been beautifully crafted from a palette of earthy materials: glass, brick, timber and steel - and all in Klopper's iconic architectural design. You feel immersed in nature, yet all the delights of Freo's cultural hub are an easy stroll down the hill, made even better with a nearby walking track that cuts through to Stevens Reserve and beyond.
From the flourishing native verge out the front, with a delightful pom pom tree the birds and wildlife love, to the verdant, tiered garden beds that gently slope towards the front door - a raised, decked platform in the corner sits above it all offering a lovely spot to embrace the country-style serenity. A series of Jarrah bi-fold doors flow open to the lower level, enhancing the indoor-outdoor feeling that is such a joy, as sandstone tiles nod to the natural aesthetic. The grey-green kitchen features stone benchtops and a free-standing island, and is well-appointed with stainless steel appliances including an induction stovetop, steam electric oven and Miele dishwasher. Nearby, is a mosaic-tiled laundry with separate WC.
Outside, the treed ambience continues. There's rear access to rambling, native foliage, and previously approved plans for a studio to consider that will inspire endless possibilities for this blank-canvas space. Brick paving wraps around to a drying courtyard down the northern side, and a 'secret garden' behind a partition screen on the eastern side - also accessed via double doors from the lounge.
Inside, a wood-fireplace adds a cozy touch to this hidden sanctuary, while upstairs even more serenity unfolds. The master bedroom has space for a reading nook, with a row of built-in robes, and glimpses of Booyeembara Park and the golf course in the distance - a view equally shared by the Italian-tiled bathroom (with a magnificent clawfoot bath) and second bedroom that also has the bonus of warmth provided by the chimney flue. A third bedroom can be a peaceful work-from-home space and there's even a large attic, accessed via a dropdown ladder, that can be utilized for storage, a hobby room or creative 'think tank' zone.
Completing this leafy retreat is the bonus of roof solar panels for energy efficiency, timber ceiling fans in all the bedrooms, and a sheltered, single car port out the front.
Enjoy the character and community spirit of Bolton Place from the comfort of this thoughtfully designed home - one that honours the natural environment it belongs to and instantly transports you a world away from the city convenience on your doorstep.
