These photos give only a taste of the treasures so abundant on this wonderful 4,360sqm block set in the gentle hills of Carmel, a select suburb adjoining Lesmurdie and within easy commute of the CBD.
The one-owner home was architect-designed and built in 1975/76. The owners lived in an old cottage (since demolished) with an outdoor dunny, which has survived and can be seen in all its glory!
Over the years, like Topsy, the house has ‘growed’, size-wise, from a 3X1 to a 5X2 with study, en-suite, walk in robe and balcony.
The gardens too have matured and boast numerous natives, including wattles, marris, grevilleas and bottle-brushes to name just a few and a plethora of ‘exotics’, including roses, hydrangeas, cannas, camellias, ferns, nasturtiums, azaleas, magnolias, liquid ambers – and that is by no means an exhaustive list!
To illustrate that Carmel is the fruit and wine bowl of Perth, the new home owners can indulge in grapes (10 vines), grapefruit, plums, apples, figs, quince, apricots, mandarins, oranges, lemons and with a roll of drums, a most prolific MULBERRY TREE & about 12 BANANA PLANTS
The house itself is far from bland. The rich hues of timber, tiles, stone bench tops and stained glass, give a boost to the spirit.
One picture, according to Confucius, is worth a thousand words. These were taken on an uncharacteristically wet, windy November day and illustrate the all-weather aspect of the home. Imagine the different image of the outdoors with blue skies!
The new main bedroom suite with study, walk-in-robes and ensuite has the added advantage of a large balcony overlooking the pool and woodlands. The games room opens out into a secluded garden protected from the strong summer sun, with a profusion of grapes and sweet smelling creepers. This area overlooks the fenced pool area a reserve which stretches out across the front of the property.
A four-car carport adjoins the house at the back and behind that is an old Perth tramcar which provides a wonderful haven of privacy for adults or children. The R5 zoning allows the property to be divided into two half acres and the proposed subdivision plan is attached. Enjoy the one acre ambience, without paying extra rates, until you’re ready to subdivide. As part of your Super Plan, this could be a winner.
We urge you to come and see this immaculate property. Where else in the world can you get all these benefits and space for so modest a price, so close to the centre of a capital city?
