Imagination and inspiration: cool contemporary home

A tree-lined street in an eclectic neighbourhood where character homes are being creatively renewed is a delightful place to live, and this contemporary home fits right in. A traditional exterior profile is in harmony with the streetscape, and the imaginative bespoke interiors create a cool retreat that unfolds in surprising ways. A brilliant kitchen, beautiful landscaping, fine touches of timber, and a range of flexible spaces for work, relaxation and entertaining all make this home out of the ordinary. You will love the location: walk to the local primary school and Valley Park, and enjoy the easy proximity to Freo and the beach.

Beyond the wide verge, limestone frames the raised front garden, lined with a series of ornamental pears. Inside by the entry lobby is a large multi-functional room with a northern aspect and leafy vista. With built-in cabinetry and desk, it can be an office, den, tv room, music room, or whatever you wish, secluded from the rest of the home. Beyond flows the vast open-plan where the kitchen is a design triumph: stainless steel benches, marri breakfast bar, feature timber shelving, walk-in pantry, Miele appliances and suspended black lighting. A half-wall defines zones for the dining and living spaces, looking to the alfresco and the gardens rising above. This is a delightful entertaining area: resort-style deck, barbecue built into curved limestone walls, zen garden and pond, and stone stairs to the upper lawn with tropical plantings, trees, firepit and garden shed.

Inside, timber barn doors lead to the western and eastern bedroom wings. On one side are two carpeted bedrooms and a bathroom with a timber-framed bath reflecting the natural textures of the home. An office with built-in furnishing is perfectly positioned to look out to the back garden. On the other side of the home, the barn door leads to the master-suite, which features a double walk-through robe and a brilliantly inventive en-suite with industrial-style lighting and a huge skylight.

As well as being stylish and imaginative, it’s also entirely practical, with zoned reverse-cycle air-conditioning, wood-fired stove in the living, security screens, alarm, bore reticulation and water tanks. If you want total comfort plus contemporary creativity in a quiet street among the community atmosphere of the valley, this is it.
