56 Kirwan Street

Floreat WA 6014

Set back from the street with spectacular grass trees, immaculate lawn and splendid roses, this contemporary limestone homestead is all about quality, light, flexibility and surprising space. From the wide timber-floored entry through to the vast north-facing living, there is an airy open feeling, and the thoughtful layout with flexible zones makes this home work beautifully. With a home office, guest suite, separate theatre room/lounge, master suite opening to the poolside deck and even a wine cellar for quiet tastings, it's easy to imagine the flow of family life here. In this quiet street you are close to the park, with the local shops and caf down the road, walking distance to Perry Lakes bushland, ten minutes from the beach and within the sought-after Shenton College catchment.
Enter through the bullnose verandah and custom-made door, where a wrought-iron grille means you can leave the home securely open for the breezes. A study overlooks the front garden and is perfectly positioned to work from home; a bedroom with foldaway bed and en-suite is ideal for guests, and a family wing features two bedrooms, fresh sea-green and white bathroom with bath, separate powder room and generous laundry with big walk-in storage.
The home expands in spectacular fashion when you enter the north-facing open-plan living, a cathedral-like space with very high vaulted ceilings and flooded with light. A fabulous family kitchen presides over the space, with marri benchtops and island and walk-in pantry. From the dining area, wraparound windows look out to the gardens and saltwater pool, and the living space, with a Firemaster gas fireplace and marri-topped cabinetry, flows through concertina doors to the deck. Opening to the deck and with a lovely aspect over the garden, the master suite has a black and white bathroom with bath, curved granite vanity, separate toilet and concealed rain shower.
