SOLD BY CONNIE HANDCOCK
Curving around a peaceful cul-de-sac, it's all the personality you'd expect from an iconic Klopper designed home. Sitting on a green title block, a rustic palette of glass, timber, brick and steel playfully integrates into the natural environment, while the country-style serenity creates a down-south feeling of peace and seclusion - despite the centrality of this fabulous location. This is a welcoming family neighbourhood where kids still play in the street, surrounded by nearby parks including Stevens Reserve, Booyeembara Park, Monument Hill and Virginia Ryan Park a few doors down, and you'll love how easy it is to walk, bus or bike into town with its endless array of attractions.
Beyond the unassuming facade, landscaped gardens gently slope towards the front courtyard where you can sit and enjoy the atmosphere. Inside, Klopper's style is evident everywhere as walls of steel-framed glass enhance the inside-out feeling and tiled floors meet recycled red-brick, exposed timber beams and black steel columns that nod to the industrial-inspired aesthetic.
Built-in bench seating makes the dining an inviting space and the U-shaped kitchen, with jarrah and brick highlights, features sleek benchtops that wrap around Bosch appliances including a 4-burner gas stovetop, electric oven and dishwasher. Nearby, a 'butler's pantry' has been incorporated into the laundry space with the convenience of a separate WC for the lower level, while at the rear, a cozy back garden adds shade, greenery and secure fencing for kids or pets. There are also French doors from the air-conditioned lounge to the sheltered alfresco, as well as exterior access from the kitchen.
A steel and jarrah timber staircase rises towards the bedroom zone, which is surprisingly street level, complete with a spacious master bedroom with built-in-robes, ceiling fan, and reading nook that embraces the west-facing aspect. Beyond is an updated bathroom with shower/bath combo, linen cupboard at the end of the hallway, and two more good-sized bedrooms (one with built-in robes and a ceiling fan) - plus, ducted and evaporative air-conditioning for the upper level.
Complementing the sustainability ethos of raw materials throughout, roof solar panels help keep your power bills low along with an EV battery charger in the secure, undercover car bay out the front.
Bolton Place is a tightly held enclave, renowned for its community spirit whether it's Christmas street parties, the annual garage sale or friendly chats in the street - with the bonus of no-through traffic. A walking pathway at the end of the cul-de-sac makes it easy to cut through to Stevens Reserve and onwards to nearby shops and cafes, the city or beach, adding to the village-feel of this quiet street.
This is the architectural legacy of a Klopper designed home: colourful character, iconic history, and the atmosphere of a country-style escape, with all the urban convenience of city living on your doorstep.
