A distinctive, world class, one-of-a-kind estate, a substantial 1227sqm landholding and revered address within a highly sought after enclave in Subiaco - the perfect setting for a spectacular, Saleeba Adams architect designed, multi award winning family residence.
From outside, the seemingly restrained, unassuming pale sandstone rendered facade belies the magnificence inside. Beyond the enormous solid timber pivot door, this spectacular home is a masterful statement of effortless style, understated elegance and modern luxury with grand proportions, abundant natural light and exceptional space.
Striking interiors feature grandly proportioned, beautifully balanced, light filled spaces at every turn; a heavenly symphony of graceful formal, casual and entertaining areas spilling effortlessly to verandahs, balconies, glorious poolside terraces, and beautiful gardens. A subtle nod to maritime influences is present throughout the home - curved timber and steel balustrading, a large balcony on the upper floor reminiscent of ocean-going liners in the early 20th century, the silhouette of a large passenger ship in the outline of the home when viewed poolside.
Designed to accommodate the needs of even the biggest families across all ages and stages, this exquisite home is incredibly easy to live in with perfectly zoned and integrated areas brings everyone together for living, dining and entertainment, yet provides distinct spaces for work, sleep and privacy. Almost every room connects directly to outdoors and offers a multitude of spaces for relaxing, entertaining and play.
The long entrance hall is elegant and refined with pale walls, skylight and custom lighting ready as the perfect canvas for a striking collection of art. Impressively large rooms flow from the hallway - a tranquil guest bedroom and ensuite, elegant lounge with a wood fireplace, formal dining room, and temperature-controlled wine cellar/tasting room crafted from rich jarrah.
Perfectly solar oriented to capture natural light and summer breezes, spectacular open plan spaces are gloriously expansive yet clearly defined by function. A magnificently appointed chef's kitchen designed to cater for the demands of a large and busy household with a vast 5.2metre waterfall jarrah island, a suite of European appliances and large walk-in pantry and is perfect for catering both large scale entertaining and intimate dinner parties. Family living and dining are generous and relaxed, with walls of wraparound glass and sliding doors opening to a magnificent array of outdoor entertaining options.
Big sliding doors open to the upper terrace and vast cedar lined alfresco with built-in stainless steel Ferguson BBQ kitchen where there's plenty of space to host a crowd of friends and family. Adjacent to the lower terrace is a resort style pool and gas heated spa, outdoor shower and powder room. At the opposite side, a lawn for the kids to play, and an adorable cubby house.
Beyond open plan family spaces, a separate wing houses a big bedroom and chic en-suite with sliding door access to a private courtyard, a home office, large, practical laundry, walk in storeroom and access to the triple garage.
Upper-level accommodation is abundant and palatial, cleverly designed in two wings connected by a bridge/walkway. The heavenly primary suite features a large private balcony, bespoke dressing room and luxury bathroom. The northeast wing hosts two generous bedrooms with built in robes, games/tv/sitting room, study and large luxe bathroom.
