HOME OPEN CANCELLED - UNDER OFFER
A substantial 906sqm landholding perfectly positioned on a North facing corner block on the top of the hill directly opposite Subiaco Theatre Gardens. A designer's own home exquisitely renovated and extended, blending character and contemporary design to seamlessly combine indoor and outdoor living spaces. This once is a generation 1938 Art Deco influenced character residence with glorious street appeal, perfectly located in a coveted 'central to everything' location. Walking distance to upper Rokeby Road cafe precinct, restaurants and bars, Subiaco Primary and the Farmers Market, and with easy access to public transport.
Elevated above the street and resting in landscaped gardens by Blake Willis Architects behind limestone and white picket fencing, 43 Hensman Road radiates a timeless, enduring aesthetic, distinguished by its elegant triple gabled facade, limestone block verandah with jarrah boards and white timber posts, white leadlight windows and beautiful leadlight front door and side panels.
Equally magnificent inside, a sophisticated palette of textures, layering luxurious materiality of linen and stone, perfectly balanced with soaring ceilings, wide jarrah floorboards, double cornices, classic wainscoting and fireplaces. Attention to detail at every level perfectly balances charm and elegance of a bygone era with heavenly twist of contemporary luxury.
Supremely family focused, and flawlessly planned to embrace its natural surrounds, this home is incredibly easy to live in, with a harmony of perfectly zoned and integrated spaces to bring family together for dining, entertaining and relaxing, yet providing distinct areas for work/study, sleep and privacy.
Interiors feature grandly proportioned, light filled rooms and a true connection to the outdoors with stunning garden views at every turn. From the impressive entrance hall, an expansive home office with custom cabinetry; a heavenly primary suite with coffered ceiling, large bay window, custom dressing room and luxury Carrara marble bathroom; an elegant formal lounge and guest bedroom with Travertine en-suite.
At the end of the hallway, sundrenched northwest aspect open plan spaces are expansive, with walls of floor to ceiling glass framing outdoor entertaining and bringing natural light in. The superbly appointed kitchen features Shaker cabinetry, stone counters, a Statuario marble splashback, tumbled brass lighting by Rakumba, Gaggenau ovens and induction cooktop, Miele dishwasher, and a large scullery with second dishwasher, and wine fridge.
Family living and dining are generous, with bifold doors opening to an expansive alfresco and BBQ kitchen under a Vergola, perfect for year-round entertaining. There's space to relax on the lounge, dine alfresco and entertain a crowd. The mineral salt water pool is simply gorgeous - bordered by Art Deco style brickwork, a mosaic water feature and fabulous 'moon' window offering a connection to the parklands opposite. Beautiful, landscaped gardens encircle the home, with multiple places to sit, rest and relax.
A separate wing beyond open plan family living is designed to give kids or guests a space of their own. The dual access TV/games/study is full of natural light and features custom desks and open shelving. There are two bright king size bedrooms with coffered ceilings, bay window seats, built in robes and garden outlook, an elegant Travertine bathroom and powder room.
The secure, double garage is accessed from Lawler St, with additional off-street parking for 3 cars. The upper floor is currently used as a gym, with its own a/c.
