Hilton WA 6163

One of Hilton Park's classic mid-century homes has undergone a remarkable transformation, with a superb solar-passive extension flowing to lush private gardens and outdoor entertaining. Spaces are expansive and light, and materials are all about refined modernism: floors in polished aggregate, extensive bespoke ply cabinetry, polished plaster walls, and a long wall of floor-to-ceiling glass facing north from the open plan. The original jarrah-floored home is equally timeless, connecting easily to the new, but also offering flexibility and separation, with another living area, and more indoor-outdoor flow to the beautiful gardens. This elevated location feels quiet and secluded but so central and convenient, with easy access to all kinds of shopping and services, and a stroll through the park to primary school and the community garden. A stately gum tree on the verge, a limestone wall and a leafy screen of trees shelter the home, with a stone circle creating shady seating in the front garden. Up the stone steps, enter to a living area with sliding doors to the northern decks and garden. A jarrah hallway leads to a bathroom and two bedrooms, one with French doors to a private courtyard. Through a study zone, the spectacular extension is revealed, where the cool feel of polished concrete and glass is warmed by fine use of timber finishes. A long engineered stone island frames the beautifully equipped kitchen, with masses of storage continuing in the sleek laundry beyond. A wall of bespoke cabinetry divides the vast space, with a concealed sliding door to the master suite: glass wall opening to the north, another wall of storage and a brilliant en-suite in concrete finishes and russet-toned polished plaster.It's tempting to spend much of your time relaxing in the limestone-walled garden, where a wide terrace leads to a grand circle of recycled brick paving, long table dining under an angled roof, an impressive pizza oven and a timber cubby. The open-plan also flows to another deck to the south, with an outdoor shower and side access through the garage. There are driveways on both sides, so plenty of space for vehicles, boat or caravan.This is a rare opportunity to experience life in a fine piece of architecture, where everything has been achieved with an eye for quality and design excellence.- Superb solar-passive extension to mid-century home- Minimalist design, high quality finishes, lots of light- Long wall of northern glass opens to landscaped gardens- Brilliant entertaining: shady long table dining, pizza oven- Floors of polished aggregate and jarrah, bespoke timber cabinetry- Polished concrete walls, sleek kitchen and laundry- Master suite separate from other bedrooms, opens to garden- Garage and two driveways, ample space for vehicles/boat- Excellent indoor-outdoor flow, range of courtyard spaces- Extensive storage, additional jarrah-floored living area, study - Cubby, outdoor shower, reticulation, alarm, shutters- Lush seclusion: stone wall and screen of trees- Walk to park, school, close to shopping, cafes, transportCouncil Rates: $1,800.00 per annum (approx)Water Rates: $1,070.05 per annum (approx)
