Palatial masterpiece in Peppermint Grove

ONE of Peppermint Grove's most exquisite homes, Chantry House, boasts all the grace and style of a heritage yet it was built from scratch only eight years ago.

Set on 1434sq m of prime soil within Perth’s most affluent suburb, this six bedroom home is just a short walk to the riverfront.

Ray White Cottlesloe Mosman Park director Jody Fewster said there was nothing like Chantry House on the market in all of Western Australia today.

With a buyer’s price guide from $8.5M, Ms Fewster said the current owners have not spared any expense in building their impeccable 19^th Century Georgian Italianate Boom-style architecture.

“This residence incorporates world-standard craftsmanship and globally-sourced antique fixtures of historical significance. That said, it still meets the highest standards of modern family living with the latest technology, security and spectacular open plan living and alfresco spaces,” Ms Fewster said.

The home owner said there was a vast light-filled living domains including the divine formal dining and lounge areas with regal-like quality, soaring elaborately decorated ceilings and walls with dentil and intricate ornamental detailing, antique chandeliers and exquisite drapes over tall windows and French doors.

“Built to exacting standards, the front elevation is noticeably grand, with a preponderance of details and topped with a Belvedere tower,” the owner said.

“Follow the solid black palisade iron gates down the sweeping grey cobbled driveway. “Black cast iron lace work, long arched double hung windows, trickling two-tier fountain and the glorious arched leadlight front door meld together with authenticity and enduring beauty.”

Heavily planted with mature ornamental pear trees, and enchanting “forest-like” private back garden, with meandering lawn spaces is perfectly placed to bring endless joy to people of every age and stage.
