Bicton WA 6157

The decorative front door opens onto the formal lounge with and inviting open fireplace - the perfect place to read a book or enjoy a glass of red on a cold winter's eve. Stained glass internal doors lead into the dining room, which displays a similar design highlighted by ornamental ceiling motifs, a feature fireplace, picture railing and recently-polished jarrah floorboards.

Ornate timber panels hang above some of the internal doors, paying homage to the decadent design of times past.

An original bathroom tiled with patterned maroon Federation tiles and the two downstairs bedrooms stem off the central hall.
The first bedroom is a grand period bedroom with ornate ceiling, circular leadlight window and a lovely outlook over the pool area.
The second bedroom is a spacious bedroom with built-in shelving and walk-in robe.

One of the highlights of the home would have to be the updated alfresco access via the original front door. A seating area on the wrap-around verandah overlooks the pool. Complete with water wall, bench seat, spa seat and slide it provides a space for respite and recreation.

The stunning new kitchen shows off the ultimate blend between function and form. Custom designed and made by German brand Nobilia, it features an abundance of cabinetry with smart storage including internal pull out and revolving shelves. New appliances are built-in with a convection oven, pyrolytic Smeg oven, induction cooktop and Asko dishwasher.

An extension of the stone benchtops also creates a casual meals table.
A sunken L-shaped casual living zone has jarrah bookshelves, cabinetry and a built-in desk made to fit each nook perfectly.

A wine cellar with racking to hold at least 400 bottles is partially submerged off the lounge family room and is accessed from an elusive door and is built into the limestone foundations.
Next to the cellar is a unique internal children's cubby house has been built-into an otherwise unused wall cavity. It has mini cedar French doors to match those opening from the living room to the grassed backyard.

A mature Kurrajong tree sits proudly in the corner of the fenced yard - favourite climbing tree of the current owner's young daughter. When uplit at night, the leaves become an architectural feature bouncing light around and casting intricate shadows.

An artistic water feature sits on the opposite side of the living room providing a tranquil acoustic element.

Panels of glass frame views of the sky above the staircase and allowing natural light to fill the home. A large balcony enjoys wide views over the suburb and treetops to the east as a wall of windows in the master suite invites a cool breeze in and a lovely outlook morning through night.

An open ensuite has a corner spa to soak the day away, a walk-in robe has plenty of custom hanging space and a secret door from the bedroom next door leads into extra attic storage.
Many old homes lack storage space, though this address is filled with hidden space including the attic, walk-in robes, a third garage or storeroom and extra roof storage above the secure double garage.

Also, being a double-brick home with good cross-ventilation that encourages the eastern and sea breezes, the home tends to maintain comfort naturally year-round.

A unique offering for the suburb, it is near the Birdwood Circus precinct, just a stroll to the riverfront, parklands, shops and a short drive to the Point Walter Golf Course and the heart of Fremantle.
