Comprising five bedrooms and three bathrooms, this graciously proportioned residence makes a commanding first impression.
“The home has a stately street appeal with a frontage nearly double the size of the other homes on the street” Realmark Urban Licensed Real Estate Agent Chris Pham said.
“The lush gardens and trees, along with the elegant character facade, are enchanting and make you wonder what beautiful home awaits”
A jarrah-lined verandah provides an introduction to the home, with Mr Pham saying it is the ideal place to sit and watch the world go by.
“It covers the full width of the home, the outlook to the street is filled with greenery and it is very tranquil” he said.
The leadlight door opens to a wide reception hall with high ceilings and rare jarrah detailing, allowing access to a lounge, a study with a gas fireplace or the heart of the home.
Ideal for entertaining, there is a light-filled dining and living area with coffered ceilings, as well as a modern kitchen with high-gloss parquetry patterned floors, a central island benchtop and a butler’s pantry.
Step through glass-panelled French doors out to the cosy alfresco area overlooking the rear garden, where a stunning pool and pavilion reside.
“The grassed area is great for the kids to run around, play cricket, soccer or football” Mr Pham said. “The pool area is an additional play space and the cabana allows you to have a resort feel where you can relax on deckchairs”
Back inside, a theatre room is a bonus space to kickback and relax, providing access to the ground-floor bedroom wing.
Nestled here is a luxurious master retreat – a secluded sanctuary with a dressing room and a recently renovated ensuite with double showerheads and a deep two-person bath.
Two minor bedrooms on this level share a bathroom, which also functions as a laundry, and a separate toilet.
Heading up the jarrah staircase, you will find two further bedrooms, a spacious shared dressing room and a stylishly appointed family bathroom.
Features of the freshly painted home include an alarm system, ducted heating and cooling, full reticulation, a secure triple car garage, generous off -street parking and a versatile wine cellar.
“It’s a large 5m by 4.4m room, which could make a perfect wine room, storage room or additional living area” Mr Pham said.
Renovated to bring the home into modern times, Mr Pham said it still retained features from the era in which it was built.
“It’s an elegant and refined home with a fantastic layout and multiple living zones, which is fantastic for modern family living” he said.
Set on 1232sqm, 8 Clive Road is close to the action of the Perth CBD and the vibrancy Beaufort Street, while still offering pockets of peace with its proximity to Forrest Park and Swan River.
