Description

Lakeside Charm This very unique 4 bed 3 bath retreat on the corner offers a whimsical twist on traditional lakeside living opposite beautiful Jualbup Lake , graced by a series of character-filled spaces that invite you to make them your own.

From its distinctive design elements to its versatile rooms, every corner of this special home presents an opportunity to tailor your perfect relaxed lifestyle. It truly is a residence that has the flexibility to turn your vision into reality.

Entry into this quirky home is through either the gated front portico or separate double timber doors that reveal a sunny and central paved entertaining courtyard - both accessible via the second frontage off Excelsior Street. The latter is a delightful space that also happens to run off a spacious and carpeted master-bedroom suite (through double doors), where a ceiling fan and walk-in wardrobe - with a skylight and drawers - meet a private ensuite bathroom with its own skylight, a walk-in shower, toilet and vanity.

A powder room sits across the hallway, as does a separate west-facing courtyard that the ideal place to sit and unwind, under the rays of the afternoon sun. Double saloon-style doors open into the laundry, where ample storage options are complemented by access to the drying courtyard. A double-door under-stair storeroom can also be found within this part of the house, as can an access door leading to both the side laneway and the north-facing drying court.

Upon entry, the heart and soul of the floor plan is a commodious family room with solid wooden floorboards, high angled ceilings, a gas-bayonet connection and bi-fold doors - for a seamless indoor-outdoor integration with the main courtyard. The adjacent kitchen is tiled and features sparkling granite bench tops, double sinks, a microwave nook, an Andi range hood, a stainless-steel oven of the same brand, a stainless-steel five-burner Electrolux gas cooktop and a stainless-steel Westinghouse dishwasher.

The kitchen also has a servery window to the open-plan lounge and dining area, where a feature fireplace immediately catches the eye. Double doors off here open out to a tranquil balcony entertaining deck, dominated by timber-lined eaves and accompanied by pleasant lake and park views.

Upstairs, a huge second bedroom ca be shut off as its own separate suite, comprising of timber floors, a high angled wooden ceiling, a fan, separate "his and hers" walk-in robes, a combined tree, park and lake vista to wake up to, access to another powder room and a door leading into a light and bright second/family bathroom - bubbling corner spa bath, walk-in shower, heat lamps and all.

The third bedroom next door has direct access to and from the second bedroom, whilst playing host to a ceiling fan, further wooden floors and ceilings, a leafy lake and park outlook and its own intimate balcony deck, behind double doors. The upper-level landing has two skylights and a double linen press, just in case some extra storage space is required.

A totally separate upstairs wing within the northern part of the layout doubles as the "guest" suite where a light and bright fourth bedroom will wow you with its cathedral-style high ceiling, fan, two roof storage spaces and double doors, opening out to a glorious east-facing balcony deck that captures all of the natural morning sunlight, as well as sounds of local chirping birdlife singing away. A walk-in robe and a connecting ensuite hird bathroom - with a large shower, toilet and skylight - complete the picture.

Downstairs, a hidden home office is absolutely massive and has wooden floors, an under-stair storeroom and access into a huge walk-in storeroom-come-cellar - naturally cool and comprising of a sink, storage and ample shelving. The office also enjoys private gated access - for potential clients - through a paved courtyard, off the home's main south-facing lakeside street frontage.

Firmly entrenched within the sought-after catchment zones for both Rosalie Primary School and Shenton College, you will also love living so close to all of the Shenton Park amenities that allow the best front yard that someone else maintains - including concerts, walking and running, playing with the kids, playground equipment, barbecues and wildlife.

A very handy proximity to our iconic Kings Park, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, the city, Shenton Park Train Station, the University of Western Australia, cafes, restaurants and Subiaco shouldn't be underestimated, either. Don't forget about the river and our pristine Western Australian coastline that are also very much within arm's reach.

This is a property where style and possibilities float together - the ultimate catch for those seeking both charm and choice, in the most pleasant of settings!
