41 Leake St, Peppermint Grove WA 6011

Step through the grand antique timber front doors into the fabulous limestone tower entrance and the promise pledged by the European exterior is fulfilled by an interior of casual grandeur and relaxed refinement.

Set over two levels, the ground floor comprises your secure 4 car garage, a guest bedroom with ensuite bathroom, two additional bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom, Playroom/Living area, and a newly fitted laundry. For all its classical charm, it is perfectly designed for the modern family, providing both space to come together and that desire for separation.

The heart of the home is on the second floor. A central landing at the top of the stairs and that is the end point for the passenger lift clearly delineates the living zones from the palatial master suite. To the left through double doors lies an expansive open plan living area. With warm timber hardwood flooring, a stunning marble fireplace and views across the treetops to the river beyond, this is where family and friends will congregate through the seasons.

Stunning French doors can be opened up in the warmer months to catch the breezes and bring the outside in. This is a large space, perfect for entertaining and serviced by a generous galley style kitchen. granite benchtops, solid timber cabinetry, professional quality appliances and walk in pantry combine to satisfy the most discerning of home chefs. The kitchen extends into an L shape, providing a passageway back through to the formal dining area. This is the space to create memorable dinner parties, where your guests can move through the bi fold doors to the private north-east facing deck.

Adjacent to the formal dining room and through another pair of doors, lies the magnificent master suite. A sitting room, complete with pot-belly stove, provides the perfect retreat on these colder evenings. The main bedroom is large and also enjoys access to the private deck. The ensuite bathroom, with its antique French bath, double shower, double vanity and dressing room enhance the spaciousness of the parents retreat.

Set within stunning gardens, surrounded by tall trees, the sense of peace this home provides is palpable. With rear lane access, parking for an additional four cars and plenty of room for a boat or trailer, this is a home that will sing to many. Surrounded by some of Perth's best private schools and with the river mere steps away, this is a rarity - a residence of relaxed refinement and certainly not to be missed.
