This exceptional residence is a stunning four-bedroom, three-bathroom home featuring a separate self-contained studio at the rear, designed to accommodate modern multi-generational family living. The property is steeped in history and character, offering a unique blend of timeless charm and contemporary updates.

Located in one of Claremont's quiet and leafy neighborhoods, this distinguished home, known as the "Morgan House," was honored with an Architecture Design Award in 1989. The design inspiration comes from renowned Perth architect Brian Klopper, evident in the home's striking façade, which includes a tiled wraparound verandah and a leadlight feature entry door with panelling.

Inside, soaring high ceilings and rich timber floors complement the classic character details, creating an inviting and elegant atmosphere. The master bedroom is a spacious retreat at the front of the home, featuring a fireplace, dual walk-in wardrobes with extensive storage, and plantation shutters. The ensuite bathroom is large and bright, equipped with a walk-in rain shower, twin stone vanities, a heated towel rack, a separate toilet, and floor-to-ceiling tiling.

The second bedroom offers ample space for sleeping, studying, or storage, enhanced by a ceiling rose and fireplace. The third bedroom also includes a fireplace and has its own access to the front verandah. The main family bathroom has been tastefully updated and includes a bathtub with shower, twin vanities, a separate toilet, and a beautiful leadlight sash window. Additionally, there is a separate powder room and toilet for convenience.

The central atrium serves as a tiled entry foyer with a cathedral-style glass ceiling, providing a second main access point to the home. Double French doors open into an enclosed television room with parquetry floors and access to the side garden.

The heart of the home is a large sunken open-plan living area that combines family, dining, and kitchen spaces. This area is bright and airy, featuring a leadlight window, parquetry flooring, cathedral ceilings, and a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen is modernized with stone benchtops, ample storage, an integrated Blanco stainless-steel range hood, a new Smeg five-burner gas cooktop and oven, and a new stainless-steel dishwasher. Adjacent to the kitchen is a laundry/scullery with a Bosch dishwasher, under-bench storage, a microwave nook, and direct access to the backyard.

Upstairs, the loft serves as a fourth bedroom with cathedral ceilings, a leadlight window, plantation shutters, and a view down to the main living area. Multiple sliding doors open to the rear yard and side garden verandah, which includes a lush lawn and a newly tiled below-ground swimming pool with ample space for relaxation. There is also a large alfresco area with storage and an external powder room, as well as an adjacent courtyard with stairs leading to the cleverly designed studio.

The studio features double doors, cathedral ceilings, double sinks, open robe space, and a combined living, meals, and kitchenette area. It also includes an ensuite bathroom with a shower, toilet, and vanity basin.

Additional outdoor features include a rear tree-house, a gated storage area with a pool and garden shed, a side drying courtyard, and a hidden side courtyard for quiet contemplation.

The location offers easy access to Claremont Park, playgrounds, the Claremont Library, bus stops, the Claremont Bowling Club, and Freshwater Primary School. Nearby amenities include the Claremont Quarter precinct, Bay View Terrace, Swan River, yacht clubs, and prestigious schools such as Christ Church Grammar School, Methodist Ladies' College, Scotch College, and Shenton College.
