Circa 1960s, the notable mid-century architectural firm Krantz and Sheldon brought to life their vision for Melview; a set of unique townhouses built with clever angular design that captures river city views and operates on solar passive principles. The minimalist modern aesthetic combined with sustainable construction and optimal use of space and light, offers a rare piece of history for you to own. Number 10 is situated towards the rear of this small group of 11 townhouses. Set back from the main road, it sits in a peaceful and quiet setting amongst gum trees and communal gardens filled with native bush and shrubbery. Attention to detail in this unique architectural design is everywhere; floor to ceiling glass windows on both floors that flood the home in natural light, recycled Jarrah in the staircase and polished wooden floorboards. Hints of triangular motifs in the slanted glass doors and windows, outdoor balcony and orientation of the home - qualities any keen eye for modernist design will appreciate.Enter into the recently renovated kitchen with custom built bench tops, grey tiled splash back and beautiful steel-blue cabinetry providing plenty of smart, space saving storage. Top of the range appliances include a new Bosch dishwasher, Chef oven with gas stove top and washing machine. Continue through to the light filled open plan lounge and dining with the hanging stringer staircase a standout feature. Double doors lead to an undercover, paved alfresco under a stunning handmade Italian light fitting and your very own private garden setting to enjoy.Head upstairs to the main bathroom that's been updated with a stylish new vanity and features delicate mosaic tiling and corner shower. The two bedrooms are carpeted with new floor to ceiling mirrored wardrobes as well as an air conditioning unit in the main bedroom and a private North/East facing balcony. Enjoy the kaleidoscope of soft purples, pinks and orange sunset hues each day with a view of treetops and glimpses of Perth City's skyline and the Swan river in the distance.Additional internal features include ceiling fans, security screens, good insulation, brand new blinds and curtains and a slimline track art hanging system. Outside there is a communal laundry facility and shared outdoor washing lines. An allocated car bay is included with ample space for guest parking or extra vehicles.
