A spectacular, contemporary Tim Wright architecturally designed residence situated in a tightly held and highly sought after pocket of Shenton Park. Perfectly positioned to indulge in everything this supremely convenient locale has to offer and walking distance to Shenton Park station, Lake Jualbup, Shenton Village, the shops, cafes, restaurants on Onslow Road, close to the medical precincts at SCGH and highly regarded public and private schools.
Crafted from rammed earth, this magnificent family home showcases clean lines, glorious light infused interiors, timeless materials and a true connection to the outdoors with stunning native landscape views at every turn. Exceptional design is complemented by beautifully considered, consistent finishes with a sophisticated palette of natural materials and textures emphasizing openness, flow and organic architectural form.
The deceptively modest facade, designed to blend into the existing streetscape, gives no hint of the gorgeous surprise hidden behind the unassuming, whitewashed front door. Constructed over 3 levels to take advantage of the sloping site, the entry foyer acts as a liminal/crossover space between family living on the ground floor and the upper sleeping floor with a soaring curvilinear ceiling connecting the two spaces. A palette of soft whites with walls of glass and warm Oak underfoot emphasize generous proportions and gorgeously bright, sunny interiors. Perfectly solar oriented to capture summer breezes, strategically placed louvres allow excellent cross ventilation.
Flawlessly planned and supremely family focused, the versatile floorplan offers superb flexibility and inspired separation of space, with perfectly zoned and integrated areas to bring family together for entertaining and relaxing, yet providing distinct spaces for study, work, sleep and privacy.
Adjacent to the entrance at the front of the home is a tranquil, light filled sitting room/tv room. From the entry foyer, Oak stairs lead down to ground floor open plan spaces. To the left is a spacious home office with floor to ceiling glass and pretty garden outlook. Bathed in natural light via vast walls of glass, expansive, sundrenched family living and dining connect effortlessly to a large alfresco entertaining terrace and lush, native gardens beyond.
The modern, well-appointed kitchen features timber cabinetry throughout, marble bechtop, an island with casual seating, gas cooktop, Smeg oven and concealed Qasair rangehood, Miele wine fridge, Miele dishwasher and plenty of storage/prep space. Additionally on this level is a powder room and large practical laundry with floor to ceiling storage and an access door to a separate drying area.
The upper level is exclusively for sleeping. At the end of the hallway is the magnificent, cantilevered main bedroom with a vast frameless window, giving the impression of being within the treetops, amongst the leaves. The main bedroom features a custom dressing room and elegant en-suite. There are 3 further generous bedrooms - 2 with built in robes. The modern family bathroom has a freestanding bath, walk in shower and wc.
4 Smyth Road. Your sanctuary in the city. An exceptional family home offering substantial space, a supremely convenient location and an enviable lifestyle in one of Perth's most popular suburbs.
