Originally designed by important Western Australian architect, Marshall Clifton, who lived here with his family for more than four decades and possesses many a Spanish influence that Clifton indeed brought back from his travels in Europe.<br/><br/>A private, gated and secure front yard has lawns for the kids to run around on, while you keep a watchful eye from the comfort of the study, complete with a feature corner fireplace off the home's entrance. From here, you can access a generous and versatile storeroom or fifth bedroom that enjoys a semi-ensuite passage through to a contemporary "fourth" bathroom with a shower, vanity and two-way toilet.<br/><br/>A large and carpeted formal front lounge is reserved for those special occasions, much like the adjacent formal dining room that is even more epic in its already-expansive proportions. A massive sunken conservatory-like family room with elegantly-high soaring ceilings doubles as your central meeting place and has access up to the mezzanine, as well as the back garden via three separate sets of gorgeous double French doors.<br/><br/>Functional in every single way, the kitchen plays host to split-system air-conditioning, a feature skylight, quality bench tops, ample storage options, a range hood, an integrated dishwasher, a five-burner gas cooktop, AEG Competence ovens and enjoys access to the casual-meals area - and eventually the large library on the other side of the layout. There, split-system air-conditioning, a gas fireplace and a ceiling fan complement three lots of double French doors for access to a pleasant entertaining courtyard.<br/><br/>Your hidden sanctuary is completed by a shimmering below-ground salt-water swimming pool at the rear that can host your entire family at the same time. A timber-lined poolside cabana merely enhances your entertainment options in this most serene of settings.<br/><br/>Upstairs, it's your choice of master - or "guest" - bedroom suites with the alternative "fourth" bedroom retreat comprising of a ceiling fan, ample built-in-wardrobe space, a shower, toilet and vanity to its intimate ensuite bathroom and an enclosed balcony that overlooks the riverside parklands.
