SHOW STOPPER

Nestled on this quiet, tree-lined Doubleview street is the perfect combination of quality construction and design mastery, it’s 9 Auborough Street. When a celebrated builder and vintage restoration expert is the brains of his own family home you can be sure to have a result that appeals to all of the senses, with style, function and reliability melded together perfectly.

As you walk down the driveway, past the recycled brick garage and onto your Jarrah verandah, you will feel a sense homeliness that you don’t get with many of the new developments in the area, step inside to enjoy an array of clever spaces shrouded in rustic charm. A classic entry foyer with warm Jarrah floors is at the centre of the property, flowing onto a well-equipped kitchen and breakfast bar with ample storage, stainless steel Smeg appliances and all the modern conveniences one needs to cook up a storm. While preparing Sunday roast the head chef overlooks a comfortable living space filled with natural light that’s great for kicking back after a swim at the beach just up the road.

Your homely living space feeds onto an elevated Jarrah decked alfresco with a sizeable pool, perfect for a BBQ with friends and family on a summer’s evening. A low-maintenance garden is enough for a furry friend to stay entertained or plant some lime trees for a constant supply to use in the Mojitos you’ll enjoy on the deck during summer. Also outside is your modern air conditioned granny flat, with low-maintenance flooring, extra storage and a well-equipped bathroom. This is great for keeping guests out of the house when hosting pool parties.

Tucked away at the other end of the home are four more well-lit bedrooms with high ceilings and timber floors, with the master boasting sizeable built-in wardrobes to keep the fashion hoarders happy. Another one of these rooms boasts separate access via the side of the home, perfect for maturing children that work late or independent family members. These bedrooms are easily interchangeable, with the current owners using two as an extra wardrobes and study space. All four comfortable bedrooms are serviced by a central, fully renovated stone bathroom with mosaic tiling and stylish modern fittings.

Already in great condition when purchased, the builder planned on living here long-term and spared no expense in the restoration, with full LED lighting, ducted air conditioning and everything rewired to be even better than a brand new home. This impeccably built abode, coupled with awe inspiring design and architecture will continue to drop the jaws of guests and soothe the souls of the residing family for many years to come.
