36 Robinson Street, Mount Melville WA 6330

MUST BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED

Occupying one of the highest residential blocks on Mount Melville, this imposing home takes in sensational views from the Porongurups and Stirlings, over the eastern reaches of the city and around to King George Sound, Oyster Harbour, Mount Manypeaks and the coastal hills of Gull Rock.
The impressive home has undergone a major extension in approx. 1979-1980, and again in 2000, and features extensive glazing in the open-plan living area to make the most of this superb outlook while basking in a sunny north-easterly aspect.
When the home was built, the accent was on quality, and it still displays beautiful timber floors, high ceilings and spacious rooms so favoured by today’s families.
It has brought a rewarding life over three decades for the current owners, who have appreciated the abundance of living space inside and out, the proximity of the CBD just 1km away and the private, 2,606sqm block – an unusually big footprint for a property so close to town.
Though the home is a little jaded, it’s in good shape, so a facelift would pay dividends in lifestyle as well as boosting the value of this exceptional estate.
Sited away from the road behind an area of lawn, tall native trees and shrubs, the double brick home is reached via stone steps down to the main entrance.
Living spaces consist of an extensive family room and lounge with an open fire and raked ceiling, a sizeable dining space, and between the two areas, the big kitchen with timber cabinetry, a dishwasher, pantry and view from the sink.
A connection to the garden is created through several sets of glazed timber doors opening onto the rear, where paved areas provide shady and sunny spots for relaxing, and there’s a generous timber deck for entertaining on the view side.
The air-conditioned master bedroom has a dressing room (which could double as an office) with robes and an ensuite bathroom complete with a corner spa, and sauna.
On the opposite side of the house is a wing housing the other four bedrooms, all doubles with French doors to a side courtyard, two bathrooms, and the laundry.
Beautifully integrated into the Mount Melville landscape, the back garden is a wonderland of native trees, grasses and creepers punctuated by granite outcrops and areas of lawn.
A U-shaped driveway makes for easy access to the double garage, which has a powered workshop at the rear.
This outstanding property represents a rare find for buyers recognising its prospects for an enviable lifestyle in a natural setting with wonderful views and the city almost on the doorstep.
