The Artists Abode

Designed and purpose built for a prominent Perth family of artists, designers and performers, this showstopper of a house has hosted numerous exhibitions, concerts and two weddings in the 20 years since it was built. While it shines when the occasion calls for it, this beautiful home is just as comfortable with a quiet family movie night or a solitary afternoon watching the birds from the deck with a cup of tea.

From the treetop deck through one of the twin doors which open into the heart of the house, you are led through over 90 square metres of adaptable space out to the rear courtyard. It is an incredible room in which to party, showcase art or to fill up the soaring cathedral ceiling with music, however a thoughtful rearrangement of furniture and dividing the space around the 7 metre high, double-sided fireplace can easily transform it into a series of intimate corners and relaxing zones.

The rear section with its room-wide north facing glass, becomes a comfortable family space leading directly to a large chef's kitchen with stunning stone bench tops and 4 metre long walk-in pantry.

To one side of the main space, the master bedroom, with double doors out onto the deck for your morning breakfast with birdsong, accesses a large ensuite bathroom with luxurious free-standing bath, through a capacious walk-through robe. The separate powder room allows for visitor access without compromising privacy.

On the other side of the house, a substantial home office with its own entrance has hosted a thriving design studio which could easily be converted into a library or large bedroom. Accessed from rear of the family room, the secondary bedroom wing contains two good sized rooms, each with double built-in robes, bathroom, separate toilet and laundry.

Upstairs, the huge mezzanine studio is the perfect inspirational space that has been the envy of many of Perth's artists. With north facing windows providing natural light at the back and views through to the tree tops at the front of the house it feels both connected to the household activities while keeping any creative clutter out of view. The galleries which line each side of the main room at this level provide some of the more than 80 metres of picture hanging track installed throughout the house as well as space for book shelves or an appreciative audience for whatever fabulous spectacle is happening below.

Set into the hill under the house is an enormous lockable garage with adjacent large workshop, perfect for anything from woodworking to wine cellar or D & D tournaments to drum practice.

At just under an acre, this property is part of one of the original Kalamunda blocks with mature trees and permanently running creek available for reticulation. It is also home to quendas, echidnas, flocks of black cockatoos and many other native birds and animals to be found in the Darling scarp. With room to park up to 12 cars and a sweeping driveway through the trees it is a property designed to impress visitors as well as to delight owners.
