Behind its tall walls and metal gates, this light filled contemporary home surprises and delights all who visit.
Winning its architect, Brandon Cross, the 1998 WA Building Design Award for Best Single Residence on a Small Lot, this innovative two-storey home is bursting with design appeal. Sitting on a compact 333sqm block, the home boasts approximately 220sqm of living space including 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms plus a powder room, 2 living areas and 2 study nooks. Built on a 4.2m slope from front to back, this is incorporated into the design and articulated as delineating levels.
Set amongst lush, meticulously created gardens, the earthy tones and natural materials used in the construction of the home make visitors feel as if they could be stepping into a property in the heart of Verona. Limestone, wrought iron, cedar window frames and french doors, sandstone and timber flooring, brushed steel balustrading with marine wire work together to create a tranquil, private retreat in which one cannot help but feel at peace.
Sheltered from view from the street, the home sits behind a secure double garage with entry via a tall metal gate with video intercom. Upon entering the property, one is immediately struck by the beauty of the fully-reticulated gardens and the way in which they work in sympathy with the home.
Built over several levels, the entrance is at the centre of the home. To the right is a sunny lounge room with french doors opening onto a private courtyard and a powder room decorated with glass mosaic tiles. To the left of the entrance is a near-new galley style kitchen with stainless steel bench tops, colourful bespoke glass mosaic tile splashback, Smeg freestanding stove, Miele dishwasher and a double pantry. A European laundry is cleverly concealed next to the kitchen.
The kitchen overlooks a purpose built home office/study which also has stainless steel benches, creating a seamless transition to a work/study area for those who work from home, like to have the computer within arm's reach or want to keep an eye on the kids' study habits whilst preparing the evening meal.
The dining area angles off to the left and leads down four steps to a gorgeous family room which is bordered by brushed steel balustrading and marine wire, creating a nautical feel. The family room has wired in ceiling speakers, a new cantilevered gas fireplace, a split system airconditioner and stunning glass lightbox shelving for displaying precious treasures. It opens, via cedar french doors, onto an alfresco entertaining area with a vine covered pergola and gardens featuring a water fountain, olive trees, cascading bougainvillea courtesy of a neighbour, magnolias, stephanotis and bird attracting natives.
The ground floor of the home features an abundance of window...
