5 Bournville Street, Floreat, WA 6014

This enchanting 5 bedroom 2 bathroom (3 toilets) Floreat Park stunner with brilliant solar-passive design has taken its own history and spectacularly rewritten the next chapter, completely rebuilt beyond its original facade with inspiration from a boutique builder and the considered eye of a quality architect, with mature, landscaped gardens.

Generous room proportions unfold from a wonderfully wide entry foyer beneath soaring 12-foot ceilings, where recycled and re-milled Jarrah floorboards meet beautifully-restored original cornices, high skirting boards, doors and handles, alongside elegant picture rails and statement art-deco archways that ensure the home's soul was never lost along the way. Framed by only two neighbours, there is an unexpected sense of space and seclusion here - but the real plot twist waits beyond the rear gate, where a private local "secret" Class A reserve known largely to surrounding families and their lucky kids becomes an almost-hidden extension of relaxed everyday life.

Beyond a pleasant north-facing frontage and huge entry verandah lies a custom built-in study nook - with a timber desk and over-head storage, off the welcoming foyer. A spacious north-facing second bedroom - with ceiling fan, ceiling rose and four sliding doors of built-in wardrobes sits opposite a neutral main family bathroom with walk-in shower, shower niche, twin marble vanities and under-bench storage.

Also facing north, the third bedroom is huge and features a ceiling fan and triple-sliding-door built-in robes, whilst a massive fourth bedroom has the same - and additional over-head storage cupboards. Adjacent to a powder room - with a Caesar Stone vanity, under-bench storage - and four hallway sliding doors of linen storage with more over-head cupboards, the expansive fifth bedroom doubles as a potential home office with its own double-door external access for clients, via the side garden.

There is also drop-down-ladder access up to a very large, handy - storage attic, preceding the enormous rear master retreat, where double-glazing, fan and fitted walk-in robe meet a giant modern ensuite with walk-in rain/hose shower, a niche, separate bathtub, separate toilet, twin marble vanities and under-bench storage.

In terms of living zones, double doors off the entry foyer lead into a spacious formal lounge room, warmed by an open wood fireplace and graced by a decorative ceiling rose and mouldings. A massive open-plan dining, family and kitchen area is graced by a warming pot-belly wood-fireplace heater, ceiling fan, skylight and striking feature light fitting, with the classy kitchen itself oozing quality in the form of sparkling Caesar Stone bench tops, breakfast bar, computer nook, walk-in pantry, double sinks, additional pendant lights, sleek white Miele dishwasher, integrated Qasair range hood, stainless-steel six-burner Smeg gas cooktop and stainless-steel side-by-side double self-cleaning NEF ovens.

In between the two main spaces, a second powder room, double-sliding-door linen/broom cupboard plus over-head storage - hug a functional laundry with an internal clothesline, over-head and under-bench cupboards, subway-tile splashbacks and side access for drying.

The family room seamlessly extends outdoors to a generous alfresco-entertaining area with two ceiling fans, a built-in bar/kitchenette, bi-fold servery windows (with fly-screen) to the kitchen and full view of the mature, landscaped gardens, shimmering below-ground swimming pool with room to laze under the summer sun, framed by a huge frangipani and hot/cold water garden shower.

Perched within the Floreat Park Primary School catchment zone, as well as the Shenton College intake area, this unique abode is within arm's reach of other lush local parks (plenty of them), bus stops (including a route directly to world-class Optus Stadium), picturesque lakes, Herdsman Central and Floreat Forum, Sporting Globe, Wembley Hotel, first-class sporting facilities, Wembley Golf Course, Bold Park Aquatic, Perry Lakes Reserve, Perth High Performance Centre, cafes, restaurants, glorious beaches and the city.

Rich in provenance, architectural personality and modern family finesse on the most sprawling of blocks, this is old-Floreat romance reimagined with remarkable respect - with one very special surprise waiting out back!
