This once-classic family residence has been extended and transformed into a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom modern haven, where space, style and functionality unfold across well over the proverbial quarter-acre in the very heart of the sought-after 'Avenues' of Como.
A highly-unique offering for the suburb, character and finesse form part of its fabric with generous proportions providing room for family and friends to gather, escape, entertain and grow.
High ceilings, feature wainscoting and ceiling cornices, decorative ceiling roses and tall skirting boards are some of the property's original attributes that remain intact and have all been restored, complemented by wooden Bamboo floorboards and a host of contemporary additions.
A wine cellar off the entry foyer is a pleasant surprise, but it's the expanse of the carpeted front master-bedroom suite that will "wow" you even more - with a feature barn slider uncovering a ceiling fan, a custom-fitted walk-in dressing room with all the trappings and a quality-tiled revamped ensuite bathroom with its own barn sliding door, a remote-controlled openable skylight, LED lighting, twin "his and hers" Caesar Stone vanities, a walk-in ceiling-mounted rain/hose shower, heated towel racks, mirrored cabinetry and a Japanese bidet-toilet.
A spacious and carpeted front lounge room faces north and leads into a separate carpeted queen-sized fourth bedroom with a ceiling fan. Neighbouring a large study with outdoor access to a dome patio-entertaining area, the central open-plan kitchen and dining space is the heart and soul of the home, playing host to built-in display cabinetry, stone bench tops, double sinks, a water-filter tap, a breakfast bar, wine racking, a stainless-steel range hood, a Miele three-burner gas cooktop, a new Miele pyrolytic oven and a stainless-steel dishwasher of the same brand.
The sunken family room boasts feature glosswood panelling, high raked ceilings, light fittings and direct alfresco access. Ceiling fans and robes are commonplace within the two spare bedrooms - serviced by a new fully-tiled main family bathroom with a free-standing bathtub, heated towel rack and twin stone vanities, plus a powder area with a separate toilet and a light-filled storage-laden upgraded laundry with its own ironing board, hanging space and drying-courtyard access.
There is also a lock-up storeroom at the rear, whilst floodlit lawn space graces the massive backyard, resembling more of a family-sized soccer field or cricket pitch. Beyond it all, Italian travertine pavers frame an 86,000L (approx.) automated - and chlorine-injected - below-ground swimming pool with two swim jets and poolside courtyard and sun-deck areas to laze around on. It is all overlooked by a poolside cabana deck, with further entertaining enhanced by a cantilevered eight-seat "water table", an in-built wall fridge, an Electrolux stainless-steel mains-gas barbecue, an ice machine and a six-seat swim-up bar with its own fridge.
Bi-fold doors reveal a spectacular "pool pavilion" that is effectively a studio or fifth/guest bedroom suite with enough room for both sleep and lounging around, two new ceiling fans, double-glazing for comfort, block out blinds and shutters, Western Australian Blackbutt floorboards and a fully-tiled third bathroom with its own external access for pool use, marble tiles, a heated towel rack, a stone vanity and a louvered door for cross-flow ventilation.
In terms of parking, there is driveway space behind the front gate - preceding a tandem double carport with double side-access gates for secure boat, caravan or trailer parking.
This prime family location will have you living close to Penrhos College, Wesley College and Curtin University, with Como Secondary College and Collier Primary School also nearby - along with Ryrie Reserve and the Wesley College playing fields. Embrace an enviable lifestyle here that is also close to Preston Street cafe and the shopping precinct, as well as bus stops, Canning Bridge Train Station, the freeway, other shopping centres, our picturesque Swan River, Collier Park Golf Course, the South Perth foreshore, Burswood's Crown entertainment complex and more.
This old favourite has evolved into something special indeed. A family dream realised - and an opportunity almost impossible to replicate!
