Last Listing description (November 2008)
A DUTCH PROVINCIAL FARMHOUSE
IN A WOODED, NEAR 4 ACRE SETTING AN OLD DUTCH FARMHOUSE LAYS WAITING FOR NEW BEGINNINGS. A BRICK AND TILE HOME TAKING 10 YEARS TO CONSTRUCT, IT IS LESS THAN A 5 MINUTE DRIVE INTO KALAMUNDA AND IS IN THE PICTURESQUE SUBURB OF PIESSE BROOK, AN UNDULATING BUSH SUBURB WITH PREDOMINANTLY LARGE AND UNUSUAL HOMES ON 1 – 5 ACRE LOTS WITH PEACEFUL VALLEY AND/OR BUSH OUTLOOKS. THIS HOME HAS SEEN MINOR UPGRADES RECENTLY, HOWEVER IT IS LARGELY UNTOUCHED SINCE IT’S COMPLETION IN THE 1950’S THEREFORE STILL RETAINS NEARLY ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL FEATURES.
AS THE HISTORY GOES, A LARGE PART OF PIESSE BROOK WAS OWNED BY AN AFFLUENT DUTCH FAMILY WHO SETTLED HERE IN THE EARLY PART OF THE 1900’S. AS RELATIVES ARRIVED AND THE COMMUNE GREW, LARGE PORTIONS OF THE LAND WAS SUBDIVIDED OFF AND SOLD TO FAMILY MEMBERS TO BUILD THEIR OWN HOMES AND RAISE THEIR FAMILIES. SOME OF THE HOMES IN THE STREET HAVE STILL RETAINED THEIR DUTCH NAMES. THE FAMILY WHO SETTLED ON THIS 15,277SQM LOT WANTED TO BUILD A PLACE THAT REMINDED THEM OF THEIR HOMELAND. THEY WERE A FAMILY OF 4 - THE HUSBAND WAS A CARPENTER WHO MADE ALL OF THE BUILT IN FIXTURES AND FITTINGS AS WELL AS A RADIO TRANSMITTING ENTHUSIAST, SPENDING A LOT OF TIME TALKING TO OTHERS ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND A LOVER OF PHOTOGRAPHY. A DARKROOM WAS SET UP IN ONE OF THE UPSTAIRS ROOMS OF THIS RAMBLING OLD HOUSE.
THE 2ND WING IS A TWO STOREY ‘A’ FRAME BUILDING AND IS THE ONLY SECTION OF THE HOME THAT CAN BE SEEN FROM THE ROAD. NEARLY ALL OF THE ROOMS IN THIS SECTION ARE MASSIVE AND CONSIST OF AN ENTRY, LOUNGE ROOM, DINING ROOM, KITCHEN, LAUNDRY, MASTER BEDROOM, EN-SUITE AND TOILET ON THE GROUND FLOOR; 2ND BEDROOM, ALCOVE (FORMERLY THE DARKROOM) AND A 2ND LIVING ROOM LEADING OUT TO A CONCRETE DECK WITH LOVELY VIEWS OF THE BUSH ON THE UPPER LEVEL. THIS SECTION HAS A FEATURE FULL DROP WINDOW FROM THE LOUNGE ROOM WITH A VOID TO THE UPSTAIRS LEVEL. IN THE MORNING, THE SUN COMES STREAMING IN AND WARMS THE ROOM WHILST AT NIGHT TIME STARS CAN BE SEEN TWINKLING THROUGH THIS SAME WINDOW. IT IS A PERFECT SPOT TO COSY UP TO IN FRONT OF THE FIRE AND SLEEP.
WITH MODIFICATIONS, THE POTENTIAL OF THIS HOME IS ENDLESS. AS THE LAYOUT IS TWO SEPARATE WINGS, SUBJECT TO COUNCIL APPROVAL, YOU COULD EITHER JOIN THE TWO SECTIONS TOGETHER TO CREATE A VERY LARGE SPRAWLING FAMILY HOME OR CONVERT EITHER WINGS TO AN INCOME PRODUCING NEST EGG – E.G. BED AND BREAKFAST, RECORDING STUDIO, ART AND CRAFT WORKSHOP, COOKING WORKSHOP, GYM, PAINTER’S RETREAT, STORAGE FACILITY……. OR JUST SIMPLY RENT OUT BOTH SECTIONS. ON AN INTERIOR DESIGN LEVEL, THE HOME COULD EASILY TAKE ON A EUROPEAN CASTLE THEME, FRENCH PROVINCIAL, OR A MODERN-DAY LOOK.
