Claremont WA 6010

Originally built in 1905 and recently renovated, this property captures the rich history of yesteryear with its high ceilings, ornate fireplaces, jarrah floors and stately veranda that hugs the majestic facade. With its split level design, five bedrooms (and option for a sixth), four bathrooms, multiple living areas and pool, along with room for four cars, this makes for a lovely family home.
The freshly renovated, open-plan kitchen/living/meals area is the ideal vantagepoint to gaze at the spectacular Swan River, with panoramic views through large glass windows. Whether watching twilight sailboats skit across the river while cooking dinner, looking out across the water from the lounge at lunch or watching for dolphins over morning coffee, very few have the opportunity to gaze upon the river from this proximity every single day.
A sense of grandeur is achieved by virtue of the high ceilings, while attention to detail in original stained glass windows, delicate cornices, skirting boards, chandeliers and fireplaces lovingly capture the distinction of this historic style.
A stately formal dining room with feature fireplace looks out toward the openplan living space and river beyond, an inviting setting for dinner guests to enjoy the view and ambience of the home.
Two king sized bedrooms at the front of the home look to the front veranda and lush garden through large windows, one with access to the veranda that offers views of the river along the eastern side and the other with its own ensuite. Down a level, a study or third bedroom would be ideal for teenage children, with an adjoining retreat or study. This room could also be used as a music room.
Downstairs, there is a fourth queen sized bedroom with en suite and a private adjoining study overlooking the pool.
Across the hall is the grand master bedroom, where every day begins with a view of the pool and glimpses of the river beyond. Expansive high ceilings, a majestic fireplace, spacious marbled en-suite and a fabulous, fully fitted walk in robe make this an elegant sanctuary tucked away from the activity upstairs.
A rear entryway to the pool, with floor to ceiling glass offers a divine little space to recline on a lounge and idle away the hours with a good book.
Just off the pool sits the rear driveway, an incredible entry and access point that gets one to the riverbank in just a handful of steps, perfect for paddlers and those who love a walk along the river.
