You've heard the expression -as old as the hills- and if you ever tried to buy a modern property with a view, you'll likely agree that the statement makes sense. Most of the homes in the hills are pretty old with the majority of homes in this area being at least 20 years old. So, on the rare occasion you find something new for sale, you need to stop and see what its all about.
Built in 2012, this extraordinary home is enormous and exceptionally well designed. Intentionally built BIG, it has everything right, inside and out and make no mistake, it will be sold fast.
INSIDE
Living areas can make or break a home and in this place they make it. The intelligent floor plan has created an enormous open living space that incorporates the kitchen as a central element of daily life. The entire area has the incredible view across the Brookton Valley and really is something else.
COOKING
The kitchen has a magnificent island work centre, with considerable bench space. The stone bench tops are practical and very impressive visually. The walk in pantry is huge and between this space and the cupboard space in the kitchen, you will likely run out of stuff to put in places, before you run out of places to put stuff in. The five-burner stove and the 900mm oven are all adding to the total functionality of the area.
LIVING
The living areas are all tiled and highly practical, yet very attractive. The room, whilst large and open is by its shape can be separated into three distinct sections. In addition to this there is the huge home theatre room.
SLEEPING
The master suite has a huge bedroom, as well as a parents retreat, walk-in-robe and beautiful ensuite bathroom. It is totally excessive, but hey, why not? The secondary bedrooms are considerably larger than you find in most homes. They feature built in robes and there is room in all of them for at least a queen size bed.
WASHING
The main bathroom has separate shower and bath as well as stone bench tops. The laundry is the same style with heaps of bench space and going beyond the norm again, with stone bench tops and the fantastic linen cupboard.
OUTSIDE
Well, if you were impressed by the inside, the outside will take you to the next level. With an amazing backdrop of the Brookton Valley and limestone retaining walls which must have cost as much as the entire Perth waterfront redevelopment and the stadium combined, you can tell straight away that they were serious when they built this place.
ENTERTAINING
By now you probably get the picture when I tell you that this place is no basic spec home and that they have pushed the limits in making it big. The alfresco is no exception. Rather than running with a normal size space they have doubled it. Any why wouldn't you? With the incredible views over the pool and across the valley this is one of the most outstanding elements of an already incredible home.
The pool is brilliant and all of the paved areas around it, as well as the alfresco and driveway have been done using the premium products of Fremantle Stone. You know the pavers you see advertised, like and then dislike because they cost so much. Those ones. It's serious quality.
COMING AND GOING
The location is superb because whilst you have the totally tranquil setting, the peaceful outlook and 2,023sqm of land, you really are close to so much. With the Kelmscott town centre your closest amenities, you will be impressed with how much is available in terms of shops, cafes, gyms and more.
VIEWING
You're not the only one who has been looking for something modern, big and amazing so don't sit around thinking about it. The home is open by appointment only and there will be no home opens.
