DUNCRAIG HOUSE

Litrato ni: 'Carlia Knowles STUDIO CK'

Walang kahirap-hirap na elegante, maliwanag, mainit, at nakakaengganyo, ang Duncraig House ay isang marangal na tahanan na pinagsasama ang modernong pagtatapos sa walang kupas na alindog ng nakaraan. Dinisenyo ng Hocking Heritage + Architecture at itinampok ang mga interior ni Gameface HQ at Leah Paige Designs, ang bahay na ito ay perpektong pinagsama ang pamana at kontemporaryong estilo. Ang disenyo ng tanawin at hardin ay gawa ng kilalang Australyanong si Paul Bangay, ang pinaka hinahangad na taga-disenyo ng hardin sa Australia. Kilala sa kanyang kahusayan sa sukat, balanse, porma, at kulay, hinugot ni Paul ang kanyang buong buhay na pag-aaral sa natural at klasikal na mundo upang lumikha ng mga hardin sa buong mundo.

Isa sa pinaka-nakakaakit na katangian ng Duncraig House ay ang koneksyon nito sa labas. Halos bawat silid ay nagbubukas sa malawak na wraparound balcony o verandas, na humuhuli sa simoy ng dagat at natural na liwanag, na nagpapataas sa nakakarelaks na ambiance.

Matatagpuan sa prestihiyosong Duncraig Road, ang pederal na taas ng bahay ay kaunting pahiwatig lamang sa mga sorpresang nasa kabila ng mga pader nito. Ang isang malawak na driveway ay nagtatapos sa mga bays para sa hanggang anim na kotse, o gamitin ang pangalawang daan patungo sa undercroft garage, na dinisenyo upang magkasya ang 25 kotse na may elektrikong turning circle. Kasama sa garaheng ito ang isang workshop, gym, sauna, at isang lounge na may bar at DJ station, perpekto para sa hindi malilimutang mga party.

Ang basement ay nagtatampok din ng wellness lounge na may sauna, steam room, at shower space na may lining na Bisazza mosaic tiles, na sumasagisag sa karangyaan. Ang pag-access sa pamamagitan ng isang kontemporaryong glass extension na may Travertine limestone floors, isang floating staircase, at isang limang-taong lift ay nagdaragdag sa karangyaan ng tahanan.

Ang opisyal na pasukan ay nagtatampok ng mga panelled jarrah walls, isang malaking hagdanan, at bookmatched Noir Saint Laurent marble floor. Isang nakatagong pinto ang nagtatago ng isang malaking laundry. Malapit dito, ang isang marangal na library ay nagsisilbing isang mapayapang home office na may custom-designed desk, na nag-aalok ng mga tanawin sa buong Swan River.

Ang foyer ay humahantong sa marilag na opisyal na living at dining area na may marble dado wall panelling at isang maingat na ginawang bar. Ang isang 1200-bottle, temperature-controlled wine cellar at isang kaakit-akit na powder room na may pressed metal walls ay nagpapahusay sa pamana ng tahanan.

Ang naibalik na jarrah floors at marble wall panelling ay nagha-highlight sa sitting area na may fireplace. Katabi nito ay isang nakamamanghang lounge room na may modernong timber wall panelling. Buksan ang mga pinto patungo sa mga hardin na may gumagapang na damuhan, isang 12-taong spa, at isang infinity edge salt-chlorinated pool, na ginagawa itong isa sa pinakamagandang lugar para sa outdoor entertainment sa Perth, na may mahigit 750m2 ng French Pattern Travertine pavers. Bilang pagkilala rin sa lokal na kasaysayan, ang outdoor alfresco ay nagtatampok ng recycled Jarrah beams mula sa Old Mandurah Bridge.

Ang alfresco kitchen na may honed marble bench tops, woodfired pizza oven, barbecue, at katabing dining space ay perpekto para sa pag-eentertain.

Ang bahay na ito ay ideal para sa malakihang pag-eentertain, mula sa mahabang mesa ng mga Christmas lunch hanggang sa mga company party na umaapaw sa mga damuhan. Ang maramihang mga pakpak ng silid-tulugan ay ginagawa itong perpekto para sa mga pamilya o bisita. Magugustuhan ng mga bata ang paggalugad sa malawak na lupain na may nakakapagpahingang water feature.

Ang upper floor landing ay nagtatampok ng isang maluwang na family room na nagbubukas sa front balcony, umaagos sa open-plan kitchen at dining area. Ang marikit na kusina ay may kasamang black marble island, brass at timber open shelves, integrated wine fridges, at ang pinakamahusay na mga appliance ng Miele.

Ang pangunahing suite ay sumasaklaw sa western wing, na may walang patid na mga tanawin at isang magandang ensuite na may freestanding bath. Kasama sa suite ang isang marikit na dressing room na may bespoke cabinetry at mga tanawin ng tubig. Tatlong pangalawang bedroom suites, bawat isa ay may bespoke robes at marangyang mga ensuite, ay nag-aalok ng access sa wraparound balcony.

Ang kanlurang bahagi ng bahay ay may kasamang kitchen garden na may raised beds at tanawin sa buong Swan River. Nag-aalok din ito ng pribadong access sa isang ancillary dwelling, isang marangyang 'granny flat' na may malawak na mga tanawin ng ilog, sariling foyer, open-plan living, isang bespoke kitchen, at isang ensuite, na ideal para sa mga matatandang kamag-anak o bisita.

Isang minsan-sa-buhay na pagkakataon na magmamay-ari ng isang landmark na tahanan na dating bahagi ng isang ospital ay handa na ngayong maging susunod na kabanata sa kuwento ng iyong pamilya.
