The traditional ambience and design of the chateau has been captured down to every detail. In addition to the tall ceilings, arched doorways, French windows with timber shutters, wrought iron balustrading and chandeliers, a number of items were imported from France to ensure its authentic representation including timber doors and shutters, detailed parquetry flooring and brass door knobs.
This home will make a particular impression on those with an appreciation for European architecture and detailed character homes. Those wanting to feel like they ve escaped to a hideaway in the French countryside will be in their element in this home.
With its passive solar design and polished concrete flooring, a wonderful cross breeze is achieved. A large dining and sitting room with high ceilings, chandelier and fireplace captures a regal formality of yesteryear.
The open plan lounge, living and kitchen are drenched in light from the six sets of double French doors opening out to the charming north facing courtyard framed by a grapevine overhead and lush manicured garden, which continues around the western side of the property. The functional, bright kitchen features concrete bench tops, a generous walk in pantry and European appliances. A water feature and the song of birds are the soundtrack to hours spent reclining near the second fireplace in the lounge or to time spent in the kitchen mastering a beef bourguignon inspired by the surroundings.
Ideal for those with older children seeking independence, a separate bedroom and bathroom also sits downstairs, with its own private entrance off the hallway.
Upstairs the master bedroom, with walk in robe and en suite, looks out over a northern balcony. A sitting room off the master bedroom is filled with light from northern windows a sunny quiet retreat for parents seeking some me time, or a terrific area for older children to escape to.
There are two bedrooms off the sitting room and a gorgeous, marble bathroom. Stepping down from the third bedrooms sits a self-contained apartment (originally designed for extended family living with the couple that designed the home) that offers incredible flexibility for families. This wing also has its own private entrance off the driveway at the front of the property.
A sun-drenched, spacious open plan living area, with imported parquetry flooring, offers a delightful second wing to this home, with an open plan kitchen, two roomy bedrooms and a bathroom and laundry. There is also a double garage with plenty of storage and off street parking for several cars.
The home is just moments from Lake Claremont, the Claremont Quarter, Scotch College, MLC and Christ Church. Claremont and Swanbourne train stations and various bus stops are an easy walk away.
This unique six bedroom, four (and a half) bathroom home, with its striking design and distinctive ambience captures a quality very few homes achieve, while its location is simply ideal for families wanting to be in the heart of it all while feeling miles away.
