59 Fauntleroy Avenue

Ascot WA 6104

Under instructions for genuine sale this 2006 Architecturally designed, Balinese inspired executive villa, is so close to the banks of the Swan River you can almost see it! Straddling an 867sqm block in tightly held and admired Fauntleroy Avenue. A home of generous proportions comprising 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, this two storey home has been designed to take advantage of the outlook and location by straying from the norm and creating the living, meals, and entertaining spaces upstairs affectionately known as an upside down home.

The brains trust was the multi award-winning architect, Bruce Jackson, who designs homes inspired by Balinese architecture. Using nature at its best to provide a perfect home that is in tune with its environment, this provides a calm and relaxing atmosphere that forces you to reflect and be at one with the earth. Bruce Jackson's focus on Bali, specifically for Western Australia can be seen from this stunning home which features the extensive use of natural materials. From the fundamental design, with wide eaves to the roof and built-in underground drainage, guttering to the property is not required. How relaxing to listen to the rain running from the roof onto the stones below? Reticulation to the property is below ground, again adhering to the strict aesthetic principles of the build.

Features include but are not limited to:
