What a shake-up. Edging the leisure hot spots of West Lakes and St. Clair, a quaint solid brick classic sheds its 1940s persona for a spectacular inside/out lifestyle transformation… There's little that escaped unscathed: rewiring, replumbing, reroofing, 5.4kW of solar, an extra bedroom, and an open plan rear addition creating maximum indoor/outdoor integration, plus an unbeatable backyard treat to excite the trades: For there, it's the high-clearance dual garage, workshop, home gym, mancave, and mezzanine. For couples, a young family, or the style-savvy, it's a return verandah welcome into fresh whites, matte floorboards, 3.3m ceilings, LED lighting, and all 3 bedrooms. The master with modern robes sidelines a luxe ensuite of full-height porcelain grey tiles, a floating vanity and dual basins, plus underfloor heating; bedroom 2 has 2nd living flexibility with a fireplace, while bedroom 3 is nursery suitable. Dissecting front from back, the modest mint-toned kitchen hosts a stainless oven, dishwasher, and a breakfast bar station encroaching on its high-style crescendo of polished concrete, plantation shutters, and alfresco-transitioning 2.7m high sliding glass corner stacker glass. And from the living zone's inbuilt storage, drinks cabinet and study nook to the slatted timber chic of the indoor/outdoor alfresco comes seamless all-seasons entertaining. Re-designed in the same cool class as the ensuite, the main bathroom - this time with a shower/bath combo for kids - joins a laundry making wash days divine against a herringbone splashback, marble tops, and end-to-end joinery. What a difference a landscape makes: from the timber deck to pontoon lighting and a manicured mosaic of green, there's not a family or fur-friend who wouldn't soak up this 565sqm of freedom… As the drive-through carport idles a convoy of cars to the double garage, comes a home all for high style and high performance - and not at all what you expected.
