Claremont WA 6010

Lovingly restored and extended with a meticulous attention to detail, this elegant example of Federation architecture sits in the heart of one of Claremont's most sought after parkside precincts.
Generously proportioned with soaring detailed ceilings, double sash windows and polished jarrah floorboards underfoot, this home seamlessly combines original features with a contemporary, family focused extension.
Set on a spacious 625sqm block on one of this suburb's most sought after tree lined streets just minutes from the local primary school, the river and the Claremont shopping precinct, this is a stunning family home in an unrivalled location.
Set back from the street behind a cottage style garden with climbing roses and elegant greenery, it's picture perfect facade combines wrap around wooden verandahs with original turned timber posts and Federation detailing.
Beyond the leadlight front door, the home opens into a wide central hallway with high ceilings and delicate ceiling roses with a bedroom off either side.
Generously sized with built in robes and double sash windows overlooking the garden beyond, they retain all of the character of turn of the century architecture with a nod to the needs of modern living.
The elegant master suite features a panel of built in robes across one wall, polished timber boards, an original fireplace and a modern ensuite in keeping with the Federation aesthetic.
A third or guest bedroom with double windows looking out over the garden beyond shares an elegant, modern bathroom with shower and bath and crisp white floor to ceiling tiles.
Living and entertaining spaces abound in this home, ensuring an overwhelming feeling of space and achieving a great sense of separation and privacy.
A large formal sitting room with a panel of timber windows overlooking the garden is a natural setting for extended family dinners and more formal occasions with its restrained sense of elegance and style.
The original home then moves seamlessly into its modern extension, retaining the original ceiling height and generous proportions with polished jarrah boards and an expanse of windows overlooking the L shaped pool beyond.
The open plan kitchen, family and living space is undoubtedly the hub of the home and a focal point for family life.
Relaxed and open with an infiltration of natural light from the north, it's easy to picture lazy afternoons with book in hand relaxing as the sun disappears from view.
An all white kitchen with crisp white cabinetry, double oven and five burner cooktop features plenty of cupboard space and sits well with this home's classically elegant aesthetic.
A bull nosed rear veranda overlooking a large L shaped pool provides a shady seat beneath a canopy of greenery surrounded by easy care, low maintenance gardens.
A versatile rear studio with bathroom, kitchen and separate entrance, makes an ideal home office or could easily house a young adult still living at home, a student or au pair.
With rear laneway access into a powered double garage, this is a home that hits all the right marks in a stand out location.
Private and elegant with a classically sophisticated sense of style, this is a wonderfully warm family home with a real sense of history and heritage.
Located in a prime pocket of this riverside precinct within minutes of some of Perth's top private schools and colleges, this home provides a rare opportunity for a family looking to enmesh themselves in heart of this family friendly community.
