This house is iconic – if you have yearned for a period style home and everything that is special about them, then you are going to fall in love with this property. This is a head turner – and many have commented that when you drive up the hill you cannot help but admire it. Now, this amazing residence could be your next home! Step inside from the beautiful gardens, across the wide porch-way and into magnificent, spacious rooms, with ornate timber windows and wonderful period features that make for a very special place to call home. Fully move in ready, you can love it and leave it or apply some more modern touches to it. The choice is yours.
This is a big family home with good old fashioned “great rooms”; open rooms that allow so many furnishing options. There is a huge sun room and separate formal dining plus more informal / casual living areas. There are 3 fantastic bedrooms with robes (unique for a home of this era), a Garage Conversion which the teens will simply LOVE, a gorgeous country style kitchen, a multitude of storage and simply lovely outdoor areas. It is built on manicured grounds that comprises 2231 sqm of prime land. The sunsets here from the front balcony are just something to behold.
There are a number of truly amazing homes in this pocket of Greenmount – this street was largely populated just after WW2 in the late 40’s and early 50’s and this home commenced building somewhere in the late 40’s. It would have been a Hills manor back then and was designed by renowned architects Forbes & Fitzhardinge who crafted some of Perth’s most recognisable buildings of the era such as the International Airport Control Tower right through to the instantly recognisable shower block at City Beach. It was hand crafted and created by Italian stone masons from locally quarried stone and put together piece by piece to form the home that is there today. And the quality of the craftsmanship is evident in every single detail. And while you could tweak it to make it even more special, the hard work is done – someone with a skilled eye will be able to create the most amazing of properties here.
Look closely and you will see so many stunning design elements from this era – from the high ceilings and unique wide curved ceiling cornices to the stunning polished jarrah floorboards and the multiple natural wood heating options.
Better still, since it was purchased last, the owners have completely removed the old fibro roof and replaced it with a high quality Colorbond roofing system that transitions this home to a whole new level and modernises it, without losing one ounce of character.
And we have not yet touched on the manicured grounds and excellent foothills location – this property is so close to everything that you need and over the years key infrastructure has sprung up around it. Indeed here you are less than 25km to Perth yet only minutes from the original Hills village of Darlington so on weekends you can enjoy hills life which must include the finest of coffee and brunches, superb restaurants, pubs that draw crowds or just pop into one of the many local craft and Artisan markets that this Hill is known for.
To see this beautiful home, all you need to do is call, text or send an enquiry to me, Andrew Fisher exclusive listing rep and we will book you in for a personal tour of the property. We look forward to hosting you at 2 Ward Avenue Greenmount in the near future – don’t delay and I strongly suggest you do not wait for an “open home”!
