1 Glenn Avenue

Mosman Park WA 6012

On a tree-lined, whisper quiet cul de sac close to river and ocean, this four bedroom home is said to be the most French-style home in WA. Built 30 years ago by a couple who'd returned to Australia after many years living in France, they imported many items for the build including roof tiles and architectural detailing such as pediments, French garden pots and other ornaments, and all adding to the home's lan and distinctly French flavour.

This includes magnificent gardens including wisteria trailing the entire house, and looking more like triffid than tree.
With fully modernised classical style kitchens and bathrooms, perhaps the property's biggest surprise element is the fully self contained, one bedroom, double storey apartment attached at the property rear. The apartment boasts its own driveway and entrance, both front gate and front door. Clever integration means that with internal doors opened between the two areas, the apartment effectively reverts to a single home. Doors closed, this private space has been home to others including the original owner's sister in law- a former nun!

Perth design maven Judith Barrett Lennard declares Glenn Avenue to be the most authentically beautiful French home she has encountered in WA.
