Perfectly situated on a corner landholding in a surprisingly quiet corner of Shenton Park, a spectacular, 'crafted to perfection' family residence, flawlessly designed by award winning architect Richard Longley.
Resting in established gardens, 4 Harvey Road radiates a timeless, enduring aesthetic, distinguished by its elegant pale render, gables, imported tile roof, and bespoke handcrafted windows and doors. Interiors feature grandly proportioned, beautifully balanced, light filled spaces at every turn; a symphony of graceful formal, casual and entertaining areas spilling effortlessly to gorgeous poolside, outdoor terraces and gardens. A modern palette of neutrals, with warm French oak floors, custom timber cabinetry, soaring ceilings and vast expanses of glass emphasize the divine interplay of natural light and open space.
Designed with a flexible floorplan, and to accommodate the needs of families across all ages and stages, including multigenerational living options, this home is warm, inviting and incredibly easy to live in with perfectly zoned and integrated areas bringing everyone together for living, dining and entertainment, yet providing distinct spaces for work, sleep and privacy. Perfectly solar oriented to capture natural light and summer breezes, every room offers expansive views of beautiful native trees, luxuriant gardens and cerulean sky.
Generously proportioned rooms flow from the entrance foyer - a large home office overlooking manicured gardens; to the west, magnificent open plan living with soaring pyramidal ceiling and a wall of bifold doors opening to the pool terrace; and a spacious casual meals area with two sets of bifold doors opening to outdoor entertaining.
The superbly appointed kitchen is a triumph of luxury and convenience, designed for both the demands of a busy household and for catering large- and small-scale entertaining with ease. Featuring Taj Mahal Quartzite counters, crisp white cabinetry, and premium Miele appliances, and supported by a scullery with a second dishwasher plus butler's pantry with an additional Miele oven and fridge/freezer.
Outdoor entertaining is expansive - an alfresco terrace for lounging/dining with BBQ kitchen and large auto cafe style awning, a super deep pool with travertine paved terrace, plenty of lawn for the kids to play and dog to run around, and a gorgeously bijou private terrace just off the kitchen.
The super-sized dining room is the perfect setting for both formal and informal entertaining with two sets of bifold doors opening to a large, paved terrace - and equally perfect for dining alfresco at long table lunches, hosting a cocktail party or an intimate dinner for two.
The studio at the northeast corner of the block offers a private, stand-alone proposition with its own entrance and can be accessed from the garage via a covered walkway. With a open plan bedroom/sitting room and bathroom, it's ideal for guests, au pair, parents, extended family or as a self-contained home office with provision for kitchen services installation if desired.
The upper floor is separated into two wings. One wing is designed to give kids space of their own with a central sitting/TV/rumpus/study area, and to one side, a large, sunny bedroom with BIR and en-suite, whilst the other side hosts two spacious bedrooms with BIR/WIR, sharing a stylish bathroom. The northwest wing hosts a retreat - an exquisite main bedroom with a wall of bifold doors opening to a private balcony and city snapshot, a dressing room and luxury en-suite.
The soundproofed basement hosts a large activity/music room/gym, wine cellar and a cinema with two levels of seating.
A flawless residence of distinction, tailored to perfection and a simply spectacular family home epitomizing relaxed, yet luxurious modern Australian living at its best.
