Poise and Craftsmanship
AUCTION ONSITE SAT 26TH OCT AT 3PM (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR)
Set within the storied streets of Mt Lawley's River precinct, this beautifully finished residence is a study in how vintage design can honour the past whilst fully embracing the present. Originally crafted by Riverstone Homes in 1997 and meticulously renovated, this home distills over a century of period charm into a contemporary masterpiece-where history meets precision, and every corner reminds us of its poise and craftsmanship. The home's façade, a nod to Federation symmetry, gives way to a thoroughly modern interior. Inside you'll immediately notice the interplay of texture and light. Engineered jarrah floorboards stretch across the living spaces, their depth of palette grounding the rooms with warmth and subtle elegance. Above, well-positioned windows and superb double doors flood ambient light deep into the home.
At its hub is the kitchen, a space that radiates both luxury and restraint. The extended granite benchtops, cut from natural stone, offer both a highly practical work zone but also the refined finish this home is known for. European appliances such as wall-mounted double ovens, a five-burner gas cooktop and a dishwasher accent the space. Superb custom-fitted cabinetry adds a layer of refinement that speaks to the home's ethos of quiet sophistication. A walk-in pantry ensures every detail is functional, whilst never sacrificing aesthetic. Connected to the kitchen, the large family room is a space that simply works. High ceilings add scale but it's the connection to the alfresco and integration to the outdoor living spaces that make this a year-round family favourite. Beautiful French doors open to a carefully curated, north-facing outdoor living area. Designed by the talented Empire Lane Landscape team, the lush, reticulated gardens frame the saltwater pool to perfection. The outdoor kitchen, wrapped in natural granite and equipped with a built-in BBQ, speaks to a lifestyle where entertaining is second nature. Travertine paving underfoot and the gorgeous daybed beneath the pergola suggest afternoons spent here can be as relaxed as you make it.
At the front of the home, the beautifully appointed formal lounge and dining rooms offer versatile living spaces. The inbuilt gas log fireplace, finished in custom-crafted Guatemalan marble and jarrah, anchors the room and provides an ideal space to spend time. Here, in the quiet glow of the fire, residents often enjoy deep conversation, friendly banter, or cherished family moments.
Upstairs, the master suite redefines private luxury. The walk-in robe, meticulously designed with bespoke joinery, adjoins the ensuite bathroom. Finished in natural Carrara marble, a freestanding bath takes pride of place, with a frameless shower recess and private WC providing the amenity you would expect in a home of this calibre. Marble vanities, Phoenix Nara tapware, and heated towel rails finish this divine space. Two further well-appointed double bedrooms with fitted built-in robes and high-grade wool carpet are serviced by a spacious family bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, separate WC, and a shower. An upstairs sitting area or study space accesses a decked street-facing balcony with city views and a fantastic, elevated outlook.
Located moments from the iconic Banks Reserve, Optus Stadium, CBD, a selection of Perth's most prestigious private schools, this is not just a residence; it's a lifestyle embedded in one of Perth's most refined enclaves.
