APOLOGIES - HOME OPENS CANCELLED - PROPERTY IS NOW UNDER OFFER
BONUS ... SUBDIVIDABLE BLOCK (Subject to WAPC approval)
A rare opportunity to call a genuine work of art, home. This unique artists property has been transformed into a comfortable masterpiece.
The 3 bedroom plus studio, 1 bathroom double storey home generously offers comfort and aesthetic appeal in abundance. Every surface, wall and incidental space rambles through generously sized, high-ceiling rooms that are so vividly decorated and appointed with artworks that it feels like an adventure.
The well-known Bayswater artist (Ellen McFetridge) purchased the home over two-decades ago and focused on practicality, detail and beauty, creating an upstairs studio boasting generous windows that invite views to every direction and where the Perth fireworks can be comfortably enjoyed from your own private balcony.
Mosaic installations, meticulously restored jarrah windows and floors enhance the interesting colour effects throughout and recycled telephone poles feature in the design. Everywhere you look, theres another nook with quirky storage solutions, pressed tin detail, rustic sculptures and mobiles of driftwood and up-cycled objects. With so much engaging detail, the never-ending aesthetic seamlessly spills into a series of flourishing water-wise gardens evoking creativity and contemplation of nature.
All visitors to the Artist Retreat exclaim that it has a good vibe. Its been a sanctuary for the late artist and her family for many years - a place where children have played in the enchanted gardens, feasts were shared and large celebrations were easily accommodated by the open planned living areas.
Like any work of art, the Artist Retreat needs to be experienced to fully appreciate its many treasures.

BONUS:
This unique property is positioned on an elevated 726m2 block zoned R25. From a Surveyor's perspective there is an opportunity to retain the house and subdivide the block as there is a bitumized rear lane (Batey Lane) so both properties would have their own street frontage
(subject to WAPC approval). Sewerage runs along the front of the house.
This property is located within walking distance to Meltham train station, just minutes to Chisholm College, St Peters & Bayswater Primary Schools, Cafe strips in Inglewood & Mt. Lawley, Centro Galleria, Coventry Markets and just 14 minutes to Perth CBD.
