Some homes just feel right the moment you walk in, and this stunning Glendowie property is elegant and timeless, yet with a relaxed coastal ease. Originally built in the 1960s and completely reimagined by Scarlet Architects, it feels brand new, balancing connection and privacy and the changing needs of your family. At its heart, this is a generous five-bedroom haven on 809m², with multiple living zones across two levels and seamless outdoor flow to an elevated deck and a family-sized concrete pool below. But what sets this home apart is its ability to transform. When required, part of the ground floor can be closed off to create a fully self-contained two bedroom apartment — with a family-sized kitchen, laundry, open-plan living, and direct access to the outdoors and pool. With a separate internet connection, alarm system, and thoughtful acoustic treatment, it offers genuine independence and privacy. Whether it’s extended family, adult children, long-term guests, or even a live-in tenant arrangement, it’s a rare level of flexibility that’s difficult to find. Upstairs, the home opens into a light-filled living space anchored by a beautifully considered kitchen with customised storage, a striking benchtop, and a fully equipped butler’s pantry that keeps everything in its place. Defined living and dining areas flow naturally to another standout feature — a sheltered outdoor room framed by adjustable shutters, allowing you to control light and breeze throughout the day. This level also houses a stunning master suite, two further bedrooms, and a dedicated study. You will love the interior styling, carefully crafted with a bespoke approach that elevates every room, including custom built-ins and beautifully finished bathrooms with classic wainscoting and tiling. And finally, there’s the location. Positioned on a peaceful, tree-lined avenue between Churchill Park and Glendowie Reserve, you’re just moments from green spaces, coastal walkways, top local schools, cafes and clubs. This is a fabulous family home that not only works for today, but evolves with you — thoughtfully designed, highly functional, and ready for whatever comes next.
