12 Tenth Avenue, St Peters

Auction 25 October - 10:30am

Located on a substantial 1071sqm allotment along tree-lined Tenth Avenue, St Peters, this c.2008 custom-built home has meticulously recreated the quality and charm of character homes of the era and area. Privately set behind a picket fence with an electric driveway gate and embraced by a flourishing established front garden, the return verandah façade creates a welcoming sense of arrival, while side access provides ample secure off-street parking and an additional garage to the rear.

Inside, a wide arched hallway with striking hardwood Karri floorboards sets the tone for a home of warmth and refinement. Every detail has been perfectly replicated, from the deep cornicing, high ceilings, ornate ceiling roses, leadlight sash and casement windows to the decorative and functional construction techniques which elevate the level of quality in this build.

The floorplan is thoughtfully designed, with three well-appointed bedrooms and a versatile study/guest room. The private primary retreat includes a spacious walk-in robe and ensuite, while bedrooms two and three feature built-in robes and ceiling fans, ensuring comfort and convenience for the whole family. Both bathrooms have heated towel rails and stone-topped vanities with a full bath offered in the family bathroom.

At the heart of the home, the northern rear aspect brings in an abundance of light into the open-plan living and dining which connects effortlessly via French double doors to the outdoors and all-weather entertaining area. The family room's gas fireplace with timber mantel and heritage tiling is in keeping with the home's period charm, while the well-appointed modern kitchen, anchored by a granite island bench is a culinary centrepiece! Featuring extensive granite benchtops, a butler's pantry, filtered water, plus a full suite of Smeg appliances, including twin ovens, induction cooktop and microwave. A generous laundry with extensive storage has direct access to a side service area.

To the very rear, double doors lead you to a multi-functional second living space overlooking the garden and with direct access to the undercover entertaining zone. Formalise this room or use it as a family activity space for a home theatre, hobbies or pool table.

Outdoors, the rear garden is a sanctuary framed by six majestic golden elms that form a natural canopy and walking path. A sparkling tiled pool (with glass fence) and integrated spa, sit perfectly within the garden, designed for year-round enjoyment with saltwater chlorination, a 22kw heat pump, and gas spa heater.

Lush established plantings, fruit trees including fig, avocado, lemon, plum and nectarine, plus a designated private service space, an ideal spot for a vegetable patch, offers a variety of uses. A single garage (that technically could be accessed for the car enthusiasts out there) is to the rear of the allotment with an additional garden shed for storage.
