City Beach WA 6015

Designed in 1970 by prominent Hungarian architect, Julius Elischer, and offered for sale for the first time since its construction, this elegant and much-loved City Beach home has been beautifully maintained by its original owners. Central City Beach is well known for exciting and cutting edge modernist architecture and this home is no exception. One of three homes in the area designed by Elischer, "Smetana House" is entirely elevated from the street by virtue of major retaining walls to the rear and side boundaries, allowing for ocean views from most rooms.Inspired by its owners' travels in Italy and East Asia, the home features an understated visual connection to the street, consistent with Elischer's philosophy of architectural restraint, while also reflecting the owners' love of Mediterranean design. Approached via a circular driveway, a large wine cellar and storeroom on the ground level provide storage for all manner of sporting equipment, as well as an extensive wine collection.Ascending upstairs from the under-croft parking area, this delightful property is entered via an elevated front terrace, reminiscent of an Italian villa.Comprising three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large home office, flexible living areas and an updated kitchen, the home is quite comfortable in its current condition, although the opportunity to restore and renovate in keeping with its modernist credentials is likely to prove irresistible.Some things simply can't be improved and these include the two extraordinary arched windows in the living areas, capturing views across the ocean to Rottnest.The paved rear terrace is accessed via sliding doors from all three living areas and continues the Mediterranean style, with several outdoor entertaining spaces, a large vine-covered pergola and neoclassic balustrading overlooking the pool. Ideally located in an exclusive enclave of Central City Beach, this lovely home sits in the midst of a fantastic neighbourhood, a short walk to City Beach Primary School and City Beach Residential College. Families seeking an active coastal lifestyle will enjoy the proximity to the walking tracks of Bold Park, Wembley Golf Course, HBF Stadium and of course the cafes, restaurants and other amenities of City and Floreat Beaches.Features include:- Elevated 994sqm block with rear N/W orientation - Ocean views from living areas and all three bedrooms- Under-croft parking for 2 cars via circular driveway- Wine cellar and large storeroom- Alarm system- Security screens on all windows and doors- Elegant entry foyer with marble tiled floor- Large study/home office near front entrance- Two living areas- New carpets, window treatments- Concrete swimming pool with new pump and cleaner- Split system air-conditioning throughout- Automatic reticulation- Short walk to City Beach Primary School- Easy access to public transport on Oceanic Drive and The Boulevard- Shenton College catchmentAUCTION TERMSDeposit: $75,000 on the fall of the hammer Settlement: 30/60 days at the buyers nomination OUTGOINGSCouncil Rates: Approx. $4,165 per annumWater Rates: Approx $1,514 per annumDisclaimer:The particulars of this listing has been prepared for advertising and marketing purposes only.
