This high-end quality home makes it mark on a sweeping bend of calm waters in Leeward Canals, facing in a northerly direction.
Jarrah joinery including windows, bi-fold and sliding stacker doors and internal French doors, provide maximum views of Mandurah’s unique canal lifestyle, whilst allowing the whole house to be completely opened, further enhancing the vista.
This custom designed and crafted house is feature filled to cater for your every lifestyle demand. The impressive kitchen with expansive stone benchtop work areas incorporates wide breakfast bar, 2.5m bi-fold servery windows (to Alfresco), cast double sink, dishwasher drawer and high end appliances, inc. Electrolux fully automated oven, 900mm hotplates with separate oversize wok station, concealed exhaust, soft blue glass splashbacks and Alabaster cabinetry with soft-close drawers and cupboards, evoking a cool Mediterranean feel to the heart of the home. A scullery leads of the kitchen and boasts a wall of custom storage sections for pantry items, cooking equipment etc. A double cast sink and another dishwasher drawer plus external shopper access combine to make this the perfect “butler’s” domain.
The kitchen overlooks the stunning meals area that would accommodate a 12 seat dining configuration, which then opens through a 4m wide arch to a large Family/TV area, all with French doors opening to stunning canal views, or privacy with timber slat panel blinds.
French doors lead to one of the most desirable Alfresco’s on the canals. Measuring 8.5m x 4.5m this area comprises a marble tile benchtop with jarrah cabinetry, sink, wood fire place with marble hearth, bi-folds and huge sliding stacker doors (2 sets), one set leading to a balcony that gives the impression of being right over the water. The bi-folds open to an arched courtyard providing indoor/outdoor entertaining zones. The piece de resistance is the custom woodfired pizza oven with the arch opening set into an end wall and the actual oven housed in its own room for wood store. Fuel for the oven is accessed in the Alfresco via an antique Metters baker’s oven door. This wood hutch also services the fireplace. Twin R/C air-con outlets, an antique timber look ceiling fan, as well as TV and piped music with separate volume control. If you love entertaining, this area of the home will make you the envy of your friends and neighbours.
The homes comprises three generous bedrooms – the impressive Master Suite itself would be more at home in a 5 star hotel, measuring 5m x 5m with a private parent’s courtyard, accessed via sliding stacker doors. A spectacular Ensuite featuring full height custom tiling, huge bath surrounded by windows facing the courtyard, large shower, 2.5m double vanity with stone benchtop and ample cupboards and drawers.
