A rare opportunity currently exists to secure this beautiful brick and iron character home, available for the first time in nearly 30 years. Located in a hugely popular, leafy street, and surrounded by beautiful neighbouring homes, you couldn't want for a better setting. Although beautiful, the relatively understated exterior belies the grand proportions and features of the home. Finishes and appliances throughout are of the highest quality, commensurate with a home of this standard. The classical decoration is impeccable and tasteful, so that you will not need to change a thing. A groomed gravel path leads from the manicured front garden to the relaxed front verandah, where you could readily while away the afternoon with a book. The lovely lead light door allows passage into a grand entry hall, where the well proportioned staircase is a main feature. The entry is flanked by a stunning guest suite with its own ensuite, and a library with gas fireplace - the perfect place to hide away in winter. A further two bedrooms enter into this spacious zone, providing ample accommodation for the largest of families. Ascending the central staircase, you find yourself in a spacious retreat area, with entry to the spectacular master suite in front of you. The master bedroom is supremely well proportioned, and offers an area to recline and relax under one of the two expansive windows. The walk in robe is generous, and the ensuite bathroom is large with twin vanities. The rear of the home is dedicated to entertaining, with a range of different settings suitable for all occasions. The large formal lounge and dining rooms are separated by a beautiful curtain that adds an element of drama to the home, and both of these rooms boast stunning gas fireplaces. Entry through a door into the kitchen and meals area keeps all the work out of sight when hosting dinner parties. The kitchen enjoys a lovely outlook over the rear alfresco area and garden, and the adjacent, spacious meals area offers built-in wine racks and a casual relaxed setting in which to enjoy family meals. Flowing down from the kitchen area is a lovely, huge living room, with bifold doors that open up completely to the alfresco area on two sides. Covered in grape vines, and with careful lighting to illuminate the best features, the alfresco zone is simply the perfect place to host a huge summer dinner or a long table lunch. The remainder of the rear garden features a pool with overlooking gazebo, and a double garage with access to the right of way at rear. There is an abundance of storage throughout the home. Subiaco Primary and Daglish train station are both a short walk away, as are Theatre Gardens and the Rokeby Road café strip and shops. This is a very special home looking for its next family.
