Exceptional and unique are often overused in real estate vernacular, however this is truly a once in a life time opportunity to become part of the fabric of Peppermint Grove’s rich history.
Owned by only a handful of families since it was first built in the mid-1930s, this expansive family home is a stunning example of the unique beauty of pre-World War II Art Deco architecture.
One of this suburb’s grand old homes, lovers of the rich character of historical homes will relish the opportunity to add their own personal touches and style to this elegant beauty.
Home to the same family for over three decades, the time has come for a new set of hands and eyes to breathe new life into this grand family home and to transform it into a home for the next generation.
Set in the middle of one of this prestigious riverside enclave’s largest and most sought after land holdings, it is one of only five existing properties in Peppermint Grove that remains on such an exceptional parcel of land. Properties in this echelon of the market are tightly held within families, rarely making it to the open market.
Designed in the mid-1930s by award winning Perth based architectural firm, Powell, Cameron and Chisholm Architects, this welcoming family home was designed to embrace the needs of a growing family with its generously proportioned living and accommodation spaces and acres of lawns and gardens to while away lazy afternoons beneath a lush canopy of greenery.
Front and rear stairways lead from the lower to upper levels and gives way to a spacious floorplan which accommodates six bedrooms and four bathrooms in the main residence.
Though the home is unequivocally grand in both style and proportion, the spectacular grounds that surround this unique property are what elevates it to another level altogether.
This property boasts expansive terraced gardens and a canopy of decades’ old mature trees and incorporates a beautiful Japanese garden, vegetable garden, tree house and protected lawned area, ideal for everything from glamorous soirees to relaxed family gatherings.
Set just minutes from the beautiful Peppermint Grove foreshore, Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, Cottesloe Village and walking distance to some of the city’s most prestigious private schools and colleges, it is both a pleasure and a privilege to offer this home to the market.
