Welcome home. An icon of prestigious Heytesbury Road, Dove House; a magnificent, impeccably renovated and extended 1905 character residence with instant 'fall in love' street appeal and perfectly located in a coveted Subiaco locale.
Viewed from the street, set behind a grand white picket fence, this enchanting family home embodies the timeless elegance and captivating charm of a bygone era, distinguished by the stylish dove grey rendered, gabled facade, white trimmed windows, bullnosed wraparound verandah, turned timber posts, decorative fretwork, a tall chimney and a stained glass and timber door framed by exquisite stained glass leadlight panels.
Interiors are equally spectacular with ornate, immaculately restored pressed tin ceilings, elaborate cornices, jarrah floors, hallway arch and corbels, high decorative skirtings, and fireplaces resting easily alongside modern, yet sympathetically extended open plan spaces, perfectly maintaining the home's connection to its early 1900's past. Rooms are generously proportioned with glorious natural light throughout.
With three big bedrooms, two luxury bathrooms, sleek kitchen, generous family living and dining, an office for working from home options and gorgeously tranquil outdoor entertaining areas, it's perfect for relaxed living and easy entertaining.
The original home hosts two beautiful bedrooms with all the details expected of a home from this era - think exquisitely ornate ceilings and cornices, fireplaces and wide jarrah floorboards, plus home office/4th bedroom opening to the winter courtyard, and a lovely sitting room anchored by a fireplace.
Where jarrah melds into stone, magnificent open plan spaces span the rear under a soaring whitewashed timber ceiling - glorious northern aspect, sundrenched family areas where large windows frame lovely outdoor spaces. The superbly appointed Italian crafted kitchen features beautiful marble counters, casual seating, gloss white cabinetry, an array of Bosch appliances including induction cooktop, steam oven, integrated multifunction microwave, dishwasher, and large pantry store.
Family living and dining are generous, with French doors opening to perfectly landscaped and manicured rear gardens with limestone paved terrace, timber pergola and wood fired oven. It's private, with a lovely sense of tranquility and escape from the world.
Back inside, behind the kitchen is a laundry/scullery and marble bathroom/wet room.
Upper-level accommodation is exclusively adult - a divine, gorgeously serene main bedroom and fitted walk in robe under the many angles of the eaves, with arched windows and loads of natural light. The marble en-suite has a walk-in shower, pedestal sink, and wc.
