A truly beautiful house, stylishly and subtly located in an elevated location behind a foreground of granite dry-wall retaining walls, native shrubs and soft Peppermint trees. Located within a 900m stroll to Old Dunsborough Beach, 700m to Our Lady of the Cape Primary School and 700m to Dunsborough Primary School (350m as the crow flies).
Rarely do I see these qualities combined in such a propitious manner, to make the property sit as one, as a part of the landscape rather than imposed upon it.
The large corner site of 755 sqm has access off both Norfolk Street with a north east aspect and James Street with a north west aspect. One entrance into a hard stand area, the other into a double garage. There are numerous sheltered garden nooks to either capture the sun, shade or stay out of the wind no matter what the prevailing weather delivers.
Timeless architecture and built of feature brick with a red Colorbond roof, built as a spec home by John Kitchen circa 1993.
The timber staircase is a feature, and also conceals a large cupboard underneath that leads to a generous multi-purpose room living/office/studio or bedroom space. To describe as a loft would be disingenuous. This area is airconditioned and provides an unsubtle hint that Geographe Bay beckons for want of a 900m stroll.
Ground floor, the main front entrance via a bullnose front verandah, leading into the main kitchen/living/dining area, which features high cathedral style ceilings and a corner nook which currently houses a grand piano with ease.
The paved rear courtyard/al fresco area serves as a backdrop to the main living area. This area has skylights and is serviced by a Merlin wood heater and reverse cycle air conditioner.
The new kitchen is first rate and features Caesar stone bench tops, with drawers rather than cupboards and shelving systems designed to maximise storage options. 600mm Neff oven and warmer plus dishwasher hidden behind the cabinetwork.
There is also a pantry cupboard and a combined laundry/scullery immediately adjacent, with a wide fridge recess, large pantry cupboard and built in trough.
Adjacent to the front entrance is the master suite with a double walk-in wardrobe arrangement, which then leads to an en-suite with a shower recess with new screen door, vanity and WC
A second living area is set up as a music room, where en route to the minor bedrooms in the hall is a linen press. Bedrooms two and three both have built in wardrobes.
The family bathroom has a bath, shower recess and vanity with a separate WC adjacent. This area could easily be divided off with its own access off the verandah as self-contained quarters if desired.
With verandah's on three sides and al fresco area off the lounge area, a plethora of Peppermint and other native trees and a low maintenance native garden, make this property feel subtle and unimposing. In short, it feels like a Dunsborough home.
There is also a rainwater tank, gas instantaneous hot water system and 8 solar panels.
