Offered for sale for the first time in 40 years, 50 Clifton Crescent, Mount Lawley presents an extraordinarily rare opportunity to secure a substantial character residence on a sprawling 1,021sqm landholding in one of Perth's most tightly held and prestigious lifestyle locations.
Properties of this scale and calibre are seldom offered to the market in Mount Lawley, particularly within a streetscape surrounded by premium quality homes and only moments from every lifestyle convenience imaginable. Combining timeless period elegance with expansive family proportions, this remarkable residence is perfectly suited to buyers who appreciate the charm and craftsmanship of a traditional character home, while still desiring the space required for large family living and entertaining.
Resting proudly behind elegant limestone and wrought iron front fencing, the home immediately establishes a commanding presence. Beyond the fence line lies a massive front garden and lawn area, beautifully framed by manicured decorative hedges, established rose bushes, feature garden beds, a striking palm tree and a variety of mature fruit trees. The sheer scale of the front grounds not only enhances the grandeur of the home but also provides ample space for families wanting to install a substantial swimming pool while still retaining extensive lawn and garden areas.
A long limestone driveway, also bordered by attractive limestone and wrought iron fencing, leads through the property toward the rear double carport. More than simply a parking area, this versatile space doubles as an additional entertaining zone, complete with roll-down blinds featuring decorative window inserts, creating the perfect environment for year-round gatherings and celebrations.
Making your way up the welcoming steps, you are greeted by the traditional wrap-around verandah and stunning tuck-pointed façade, with charming colonial door access positioned on either side. The timeless street appeal immediately sets the tone for what lies beyond.
Entering through the coloured leadlight front door, you are instantly struck by the intricate high decorative ceilings that flow throughout the residence. Combined with the rich jarrah floorboards, ornate ceiling roses, decorative skirtings, detailed architraves and classic archways, the home transports you to an era defined by exceptional quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Positioned at the front of the home are two exceptionally large bedrooms, both capable of comfortably accommodating king-sized beds. One of these elegant rooms enjoys double colonial door access directly onto the front verandah, along with a traditional fireplace featuring a cast iron insert and decorative mantle surround, enhancing the warmth and character of the space.
Further into the residence rests the separate formal dining room and formal lounge room, both showcasing even more elaborate ceiling cornices and ornate ceiling roses, each complemented by their own traditional fireplace. The formal lounge is further enhanced by a large bay window and double colonial doors opening directly onto the front verandah, creating a beautiful connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Both formal rooms are grand in scale and perfectly designed to host large family gatherings, dinner parties and special occasions with ease.
At the centre of the home lies the true heart of the residence — a huge open-plan kitchen, dining and family area designed for relaxed everyday living. Natural light floods the space through the rear floor-to-ceiling colonial doors and windows, while feature circular windows introduce a wonderful sense of nostalgia and architectural charm.
The expansive galley kitchen has been designed with functionality and entertaining in mind, featuring stone benchtops, abundant storage cupboards, a built-in wine rack, triple sink bowl and a unique purpose-built cool room that replaces the need for a traditional refrigerator. Double French doors conveniently link the kitchen to the private outdoor entertaining area with expansive ModWood decking.
Privately positioned toward the rear of the home, the master suite presents as a luxurious retreat of exceptional proportions. Offering ample room for even the largest bedroom settings, dressing tables, cabinetry or study desks, this impressive space is complemented by a walk-in robe and a generous ensuite bathroom complete with a twin vanity and spa bath. Large colonial windows and double doors open directly onto the expansive decked entertaining area, creating the perfect setting to relax in the sunshine with a coffee and your favourite book.
A further two extra-large bedrooms are also positioned at the rear of the residence, both featuring built-in robes and serviced by the family bathroom and separate toilet, providing excellent accommodation for growing families or guests.
Completing the internal accommodation is a versatile 56sqm lined attic area, offering outstanding flexibility as a games room, home office, creative studio or even additional bedrooms if desired.
Stepping outside, the paved rear verandah and courtyard continue the home's impressive entertaining credentials. A central water feature creates a tranquil focal point, while a handy garden shed and separate 28sqm gym/studio provide additional functionality. The gym/studio space could also be easily transformed into a greenhouse, art studio or workshop depending on your lifestyle needs.
