OFFERS
Positioned on Claremont's coveted riverside, this is a truly remarkable family home. Layers of classic Victorian elegance have been beautifully renewed for modern living, while the rarity of mixed-use zoning for the heritage shopfront offers endless possibilities for its next chapter. A graceful Federation faade fronts the home, alongside a serene garden setting that leads to the north-facing veranda tucked away from view - all to the soothing sounds of birdsong and a trickling fountain.
Inside, rich historical features have been immaculately maintained. Colourful stained glass, generous bedrooms, ornate ceiling roses, sweeping high ceilings, and gleaming jarrah floors all nod to the home's storied c.1898 past, while the shopfront is wonderfully flexible for entrepreneurial ventures. Taking inspiration from its many reincarnations over the years - selling antiques, jewellery, hats, gifts, and groceries, and later offering dental, hair, beauty and cosmetic services - all the hard work has been done for you, with the bonus of separate entrances, two air-conditioning units, a powder room, and two car bays out the front.
Upon entry, two doorways lead to the shop, easily configured as two separate bedrooms, with a master suite to the right overlooking the tranquil front garden - complete with built-in robes, air-conditioning and a decorative fireplace. A generous bathroom nearby is simply stunning: huge clawfoot bath, gas fireplace, and French doors to an atrium-style stone courtyard.
Black-and-white chequerboard tiles define the heart of the home, lit by a series of electric Velux skylights. A gas fireplace warms the living area, with air-conditioning for summer, alongside an exquisite kitchen with a discreetly concealed Euro-style laundry, sleek Bosch appliances, and stone benchtops crafted from a single slab. The bathroom and formal dining continue the period elegance, while the jarrah-floored rear encompassing another living area and bedroom - flows outdoors to the rear courtyard through a series of French doors. Finally, a timber walkway above a serene fishpond leads to the double lock-up garage (accessed via a rear laneway) and an adjoining studio with its own courtyard - perfect as a work-from-home space or additional bedroom.
As far as location goes, it doesn't get much better than this: walk to the river, parks, public transport, Freshwater Bay Primary School, prestigious private schools, and endless dining and shopping at Claremont Quarter and Bayview Terrace.
This is one of the finest opportunities in Claremont - a versatile family home steeped in heritage beauty, the rare privilege of mixed-use zoning for business pursuits, and a highly walkable location for every amenity.
