148 Holden Road

The current owners had a vision, that vision was realised in 2002 upon completion of their dream home on a picturesque and relatively flat 1 hectare block amongst the rolling Hills, in the increasingly popular Perth Hills suburb of Roleystone. Superbly executed and strategically placed to maximise full use of the approx. 2.5 acre block with fantastic road set back, this home not only has a striking classic Queenslander inspired façade but as quoted by the owners 'was built to stand the test of time' and as such is deemed cyclone rated with solid steel frame construction and powder coat steel cladding, which you would bet on being weather board at first glance. The end goal was keeping maintenance to a minimum, cleaning far easier and to negate the risk of a termite attack. Internally the home is bursting with rustic charm with its predominately Jarrah and Pine finishings making it a truly timeless design. The cost of which, when taking into account building costs in the current climate would make your head spin. The two levels combined, offer a whopping approx. 438m2 internally along with presenting a very clever and functional floorplan. Multiple living zones include a generous open plan country inspired kitchen, dining and family hub along with separate cosy lounge room which could be utilised as an additional bedroom if required. The master suite is large and includes an ensuite, sitting/reading room and walk in robe. The two additional bedrooms both include large adjoining galley style study rooms and are both serviced by the large main bathroom with spa bath and separate toilet. Via a spiral staircase the lower level presents an unexpected and welcome surprise, where a convenient internal workshop with 3-phase power along with a fully self-contained granny flat are revealed. The granny flat is very generous in size and comes complete with open plan kitchen/family room, separate bedroom and bathroom, all of which can be isolated from the rest of the home providing the ideal scenario for accommodating extended family, teen retreat, guests or even as a potential rental income generator. What Queenslander would be complete without wide, wrap around verandas and dual interconnecting sunrooms? This home has been blessed with both. The verandah surrounds almost the entire home and are up to 3.5m at their widest point, which not only serve for idyllic outdoor entertaining but also provide some amazing rolling hill and treetop vistas. Externally the sprawling 9999m2 block is very picturesque and offers a combination of mature natives amongst meandering paths and semi-landscaped, bore reticulated gardens. The driveway off Holden Road continues past the home and loops inside the perimeter of the block, which in conjunction with the two car carport makes the parking and mobility of additional vehicles, boats, trailers or caravans very convenient. There is ample under croft parking (up to 7 vehicles) in addition to the 2 car carport along with some significant steel framework which could potentially provide a fantastic foundation for those who require a large detached workshop (subject to relevant authority approvals and conditions). Those familiar with Roleystone will appreciate that 2.5 acres on Holden Road is very desirable for those yearning the peace and quiet associated with semi-rural living, without sacrificing ease to local conveniences. The Roleystone village shopping centre and popular Cross Park Sporting complex are only approx. 1.5km, well within walking distance along with the Roleystone Community College approx. 1.4km. All the while only approx. 35-40 mins to the Perth CBD and approx. 25 mins to the Perth airport.
