There are but a few Gentleman’s bungalows of this calibre left, yet this distinguished and impeccably preserved estate, circa 1927, sets an enduring precedent of regal family refinement and restaurant- standard entertaining on the cusp of lifestyle-rich St. Clair.

It also boasts the first-ever addition by custom builder Samuel James Homes, designed to honour the home’s original grandeur, and nationally awarded for best residential renovation in 1998.

A history tour includes blush-tinted and bevelled glass, exquisite woodwork, rich jarrah floors, bespoke window seats, picture rails and lofty 3.3m ceilings – the elegant entrée to an up to 5-bedroom residence bestowing just as many memoirs as it has modern-day luxuries.

A wide and grand entry hall flows from the stately formal lounge to the speak easy vibes of the formal dining room, each adorned in ornate fireplaces. The solid timber bar – the likes of which you’d see in a historic pub – is the crown to the home’s next jewel: a secret wine cellar below.

The gourmet kitchen incorporates swathes of marble stone benchtops, Miele and Smeg appliances and entertaining zone integration; and through a trilogy of north-facing French doors from the rear family room and master suite, is the event-ready pavilion where lifestyle is truly served.

By day, by night, or in fully enclosable electric blind comfort and ducted air conditioning, to the tune of he garden’s vertical water feature.

It won’t matter who’s in charge. The fully integrated commercial-grade, stainless steel BBQ kitchen, Goldstein grill, drinks fridges, Grand Forni convention oven and huge commercial rangehood will give any host 5-star restaurant credentials.

Built to echo the significant gables of its era, the enormous solid brick garage with attic storage, and adjacent carport with roller door storage, complement the tiled alfresco stage in a handsome display of custom craftsmanship.

And from the home’s days as captain’s quarters, you can imagine the first two king-sized bedrooms with unique slide-up entry doors off the verandah granting occupants private exits like ships in the night.

Today, as lenses to the garden, they’re architectural treasures.

Just like the enormous heritage-style bathrooms, each with granite vanity benchtops; the master ensuite with an indulgent step-up spa against the palatial dressing room.

With fully automated irrigation to the manicured and fully fenced grounds, automatic driveway gates, camera surveillance and Wi-Fi activated security, look to the future from a monumental step back in time…
