Majestic and stately, these are the words that come to mind as you enter the property via a circular driveway framed by tall trees and fragrant gardens, and come upon this superb home. A three-car open garage and powered workroom is connected to the main house via a covered walkway that flows into deep verandahs that wrap the red brick house in the green trim and white window frames of traditional Australian Federation style.
A wide formal entryway greets guests with soaring 12 to 14 foot ceilings that continue throughout the home. Facing the front of the home, the opulent formal lounge and large, semi-connected office has a huge bank of ornate white windows through which light floods into the beautiful space. Designed in the style of old world drawing rooms, two fireplaces on either side of the wall connecting the lounge and office create a cosy feature together with high ceilings, plush carpet, ornate cornices and ceiling roses, fans and vintage light fittings. Snuggle up on the sofa with a book: it s the kind of room you will never want to leave.
The palatial formal dining room is another superb space. Tailor-made for large family gatherings and fabulous dinner parties, it has soft carpet, fans, and a beautiful picture window and double doors that open out, here and in the kitchen, onto deep verandahs and onto the backyard. The dining room flows through from the lounge into the huge kitchen and informal meals area from where entertaining is made easy.
The kitchen is plenty big enough for a large, ravenous family with an Electrolux double electric oven and cooktop, ASKO stainless steel dishwasher, large fridge alcove, cream cabinetry, appliance cupboard, walk-in pantry and endless granite benches.
The few steps down into the spacious, sunken family room gives it a snug, cosy feeling enhanced by a slow combustion fire, carpet, and a carved ornate wall that screens the entryway.
The master bedroom suite is pure pleasure in which you can cocoon yourself away for some private R&R. Enormous windows looking out over the front verandahs draw light into the spacious lounge and bedroom area. There is a massive walk-in robe with wall-mounted makeup lights for a dressing table. The ensuite features marble benchtops, a double vanity, large shower, corner spa and a separate toilet.
The remaining five bedrooms have built-in robes and are huge, with high ceilings and fans that feature throughout this home. With this many rooms, two spacious bathrooms are needed. The larger of the two has a clawfoot bath, large shower, double vanity, toilet and cathedral ceilings. The other has a double vanity, shower, toilet and is still big by anyone s standards. An army of dirty kids will emerge clean from these fabulous, practical bathrooms!
There is an additional powder room and large walk-through laundry with double sinks and ample storage also in this wing. You will never want for storage in this house with banks of cupboards in various rooms and lining hallways.
A tiled sun room/conservatory flanked by glass and overlooking the garden rounds out the home and was historically used as another bedroom and a second office but would also make a delightful studio.
Head out into the glorious garden from any number of doors onto the verandah and enjoy the heady perfume of gardenias, azaleas, camelias and roses. Thoughtfully landscaped and reticulated from the strong bore, there are mature trees including a shady Liquid Amber, a bright yellow Gleditsia Sunburst and a gorgeous purple haze from the Jacaranda that flowers at this time of year.
Wander across the lawn to the large, below ground concrete pool, which is set at a lower level surrounded by terracotta tiles and has its own undercover area. Fancy a hit of tennis on the full size, flood lit court or would you prefer to relax in the shade of the alfresco area? This superb entertaining pavilion links the pool and the tennis court, and has a granite outdoor kitchen, room for a large BBQ, and a seating and dining area.
The backyard is secure and to the side of the tennis court there are several storage and garden sheds plus a handy potting area. Beyond this, you ll find a gate out onto the public accessway that leads to Peter Thiel Park, which has a playground and walking trails winding through it.
Set in a prestigious and sought-after area, the location of this home also couldn t be more family-friendly and convenient. Lesmurdie s private and public schools are just minutes away, bus links are within walking distance, and shops, restaurants, cafes and medical facilities are within easy reach. This is family luxury par excellence.
