Nestled along a leafy, tree-lined street that gently slopes towards the river a short walk away, a classic 1940's Californian Bungalow has been transformed to perfection. Rising high above the surrounding streetscape with panoramic views of the Swan River, Kings Park and South Perth Yacht Club in Applecross, this property has undergone stunning reincarnations since its original build. Extensions in the 80's explored the possibilities and most recently, the current owners fulfilled its potential with a complete renewal that feels fresh and contemporary. From the travertine-clad pool out the back, to the luxe, designer kitchen and flexible floor plan offering multi- generational living, all of the historical charm has been lovingly retained, whilst ensuring complete comfort for modern family living.

A picture-perfect white picket fence frames the front exterior garden, with a bed of fruit trees and lush, green lawn. Step through the north-facing veranda into period elegance; Jarrah floorboards, lofty high ceilings, arched hallways, picture rails and an ornamental fireplace in the emerald-hued formal living room. Spanning the lower level are three good-sized bedrooms (one with velux skylight + automated blind above). These rooms share a stylish, contemporary bathroom, while the generous guest or secondary main bedroom with ensuite (accessed via a barn door) sits at the end of the hallway. The large laundry has floor to ceiling storage, hanging rails and an inset raised sleeping area for pets, with exterior access down the side.

Beautifully extended from the original home, the open-plan layout encompasses the lounge, dining and kitchen, effortlessly marrying the old with the new. Brought to life by award winning designers at Prince Design, this zone is made for family gatherings and entertaining. The kitchen is a masterpiece: sleek, shadowline stone bench tops, Walnut-style timber highlights, soft-close cabinetry, floating island bench, stylish Bosch appliances (including dual ovens, induction stovetop and an integrated dishwasher), a butler's pantry with a combination oven and the luxury of a Billi tap offering hot, cold or sparkling water options. Skylights above and your very own 'nature's window' stream in the colourful sunset hues and palm tree vistas.

Slide open the stacker doors and take it all in - there's an undercover alfresco upon decking, landscaped grounds created by Remi D Landscapes, with recycled sleeper retaining walls, majestic kangaroo paws and mature grass trees (with a couple older than the original home) and the Santorini-style pool, coaxing you towards it. What a place to put your feet up and enjoy cool breezes, palms swaying and those endless views. Below is the completely waterproof basement with masses of storage, converted into a private home gym with a study nook. Alongside the residence, there's an abundance of parking space on aggregate concrete - enough for up to 8 vehicles (including a caravan, boat or trailer), behind the secure garage door or long driveway in front of the home.

Upstairs is perfect for multi-generational living with a dedicated lounge and main bedroom embracing those 180 degree river views. The generous ensuite for two echoes the downstairs bathroom design with a walk-in shower, double vanity, toilet and over-sized, freestanding deep soak bath.

This location is fabulous with brilliant accessibility to both southern and northern travel corridors, the CBD in less than 10 minutes away, public transport options on your doorstep and easy walkability to Como Primary School, the Preston Street shopping precinct, cafés, parklands and the picturesque Swan River across the pedestrian bridge to Como Beach jetty. Prestigious schools in the vicinity include Penrhos College, Wesley College, and Aquinas College, all a short drive away, with Curtin University less than 7 minutes away too.

Thoughtfully renewed for contemporary family living with all the elegance and grace of its historical origins, this stunning two-storey home is one-of-a-kind on one of Como's best streets - what a dream opportunity to make it your own.
