A Generational Garden Estate of Enduring Architectural Significance
Positioned within one of Peppermint Grove's most tightly held streets, Sunnydeneis a residence of rare
standing, a home that balances heritage character with refined, modern family living.
Set gracefully behind its preserved veranda façade, this distinguished stone estate was reimagined under the
guidance of respected architect Michael Lyons. The renovation and extension were executed with care and
architectural discipline, retaining the home's integrity while introducing generous contemporary spaces that
connect seamlessly to the gardens.
A wide central hallway and graceful archway establish a sense of proportion from the outset. High ceilings,
timber floors, full-height sash windows and original fireplaces define the formal sitting and dining rooms,
complemented by a bespoke study and private wine room. These spaces feel elegant yet entirely liveable,
traditional in form, yet effortless in function.
To the rear, the home opens into a substantial family living domain where natural light and garden views
take centre stage. Expansive openings connect effortlessly to the veranda and outdoor entertaining areas,
creating a seamless transition between inside and out.
The gardens are a defining feature. Landscaped and established, they provide both privacy and prestige,
framing a refined entertaining terrace and sparkling pool that anchor the outdoor setting. Long lunches
beneath the veranda, summer evenings by the water and gatherings set against mature greenery make this
environment as considered as the interiors. Positioned on a generous 1,131sqm landholding with an
impressive frontage, the home sits centrally within its grounds, offering scale, balance and presence.
Entirely single level, the floorplan has been thoughtfully designed for family living. Four generous
bedrooms and three bathrooms include a substantial master suite. A separate guest retreat ensures privacy
for visitors, while a dedicated children's wing with its own playroom opens directly to the deck, pool and
garden. A practical tack room off the veranda provides organised storage for school bags and sporting
equipment.
Importantly, the architectural evolution of the residence continues. Over the past eighteen months, Michael
Lyons has worked with the current owner to secure council approval for a new garage and storage addition.
Detailed drawings have also been prepared for further considered upgrades, with 3D imagery of the
proposed enhancements available shortly. Significant investment has been made in design and consultant
engagement, providing the next owner with a valuable and well-resolved pathway for future enhancement.
The lifestyle is exceptional. A short stroll leads to Freshwater Bay and the Peppermint Grove foreshore, with
access to the local jetty and Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club. Manners Hill Park, Peppermint Grove Tennis
Club and Cottesloe Golf Club are all within easy reach, while Napoleon Street Village, with its cafés,
boutiques and everyday conveniences , is moments away. Claremont Quarter and several of Perth's leading
private schools are also close by, reinforcing the enduring appeal of this blue-chip address.
A home of scale, substance and architectural permanence, set amongst prestigious gardens and within
walking distance of the very best the western suburbs has to offer.
