Artisan Craftsmanship. Architectural Legacy. A Residence Without Equal.Positioned within one of Perth's most prestigious enclaves, "Bouriah" is a magnificent celebration of Queen Anne architecture, originally constructed in 1913 and meticulously restored for contemporary family living. Set across an expansive 3,179sqm landholding with a wide rear boundary, this landmark residence offers extraordinary space, privacy and presence, complete with a championship tennis court, swimming pool, detached pool house and garaging for at least six vehicles.Beyond the timber gate and manicured grounds, the residence unfolds with a level of craftsmanship rarely seen in today's building practices. Soaring 4 metre ceilings are adorned with original pressed tin panels, casting intricate shadows and enhancing the home's undeniable sense of grandeur. At the entry, a pair of Corinthian pillars frame the wide central hallway, lined with original tiling and flanked by beautifully preserved rooms, each anchored by one of six ornate fireplaces.The attention to detail throughout "Bouriah" is extraordinary. Double height skirting boards and hand crafted architraves run seamlessly through the home, while the original weighted sash windows allow natural light to pour in across polished timber floors. The immaculate stained glass front door makes an unforgettable first impression, setting the tone for the architectural detailing found throughout.Modern comforts have been carefully integrated, with central air conditioning ducted discreetly via both ceiling and floor vents to maintain aesthetic integrity. The expansive floorplan offers versatile living and entertaining zones, flowing effortlessly out to a north-facing rear garden, where a sparkling pool and covered alfresco area are bathed in natural light. A separate brick pool house provides flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private studio, while the substantial garage and workshop space accommodates at least six vehicles with ample room for storage or creative pursuits.Homes of this scale and significance are increasingly rare.
