There are few homes which create as striking a first impression as this Karrinyup residence – with its travertine steps, wooden overhangs and bold colours, it feels like it has arrived from faraway shores.
Unique Construction and Eco-Friendly Design
THiNC Real Estate Principal and Licensee Brian Murray said the abode’s unique construction was bright, cheerful and carefully considered, with the current owner having chosen its Mexican-style aesthetic.
“It’s thermal concrete with polystyrene in the middle, which is a natural insulator,” he said, adding that this eco-friendly approach encompasses double-glazed windows and doors throughout.
“It also has aggregate concrete in the living and dining area, as well as an ironbark timber staircase and landing.”
The property is a place of visual contrast – against the vivid exterior, the inside takes a more modern and sophisticated, yet no less delightful, approach.
Three Levels for Flexible Living
Three floors facilitate an easy-going, adaptable lifestyle for families, with the undercroft level perfectly suited for multi-generational living.
Alongside a double garage and a sunken courtyard garden, it features a sizeable living area with a kitchenette – perfect as a teenager’s retreat or even a granny flat for older family members.
There is also the potential to ready the space for short-term accommodation, subject to council approval.
This theme of flexibility continues with the expansive and elegant ground floor.
A connection point for family and guests alike, the main entrance flows through to the open-plan kitchen and dining zone, alongside the enclosable lounge.
Deep blue accents in the kitchen, which pop against neutral walls and aggregate concrete flooring, create an air of tranquility.
Stunning Kitchen and Master Suite
“The big kitchen has stone benchtops and a lot of overhead cupboards, which is a really good feature,” Mr Murray said.
“It has a semi-island bench, dual sinks and a dishwasher, plus two ovens, a large gas five-burner stove and a huge rangehood.”
This level contains the sensational master suite, which combines a secluded position with a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite to create the ultimate in daily relaxation.
Adding to its appeal, the bedroom opens to both the front porch and a large rear alfresco area with timber screening, providing a private space for close gatherings.
Luxurious Upper Floor
Ascending to the upper floor, the luxury of its three bedrooms is of a calibre rarely seen.
With each boasting an ensuite, a walk-in wardrobe and a private balcony, they are more akin to hotel suites than ordinary bedrooms.
In addition, the trio are connected by a second lounge or activity area – the perfect place for younger family members to gather together or catch up on homework.
Prime Location
Despite the home’s Mexican-inspired presentation, outside the front doors is not a distant land but a place of suburban peace and convenience.
Mr Murray said the home was in one of Karrinyup’s most desirable areas, close to shops, the coastline and public transport.
