71 Farnley Street, Mount Lawley.

Imagine a time when elegant dinner parties and croquet were common pastimes, and you'll gain a sense of the grandeur within this double-storey five-bedroom, three-bathroom Federation residence. As the decades progressed, this home was renovated and extended, catering to modern living, with the current owners lovingly restoring this home and maintaining it to a luxurious standard reflective of the surrounding homes in this affluent neighbourhood. Sprawling over an 860sqm elevated block offering views of leafy Mount Lawley and the city, this home reflects its heritage with large room sizes, high decorative ceilings, timber flooring, stained glass, plantation shutters, French doors and decorative fireplaces dotted throughout. Crisp white walls and tonnes of natural light add to the tranquillity, and despite the luxurious finishes, it maintains a homey aesthetic designed for family living. Snuggle up for movie nights in the elevated sitting room, hang out in the family room or soak in your deep bathtub. Host epic gatherings in the gourmet kitchen and open-plan living room that flow out to alfresco dining and the fenced pool and spa, and relax knowing this gated property and generous lawn area surrounded by a private hedge caters well to your family and guests of all ages. Add intimate wine tastings to your social calendar once you discover the expansive subterranean wine cellar beneath the home. One unexpected feature is the flexible way you can live in this home, with a range of bedrooms and living spaces across both levels.
