7 Corry Lynn Road

HOME OPEN CANCELLED There is a particular confidence that comes with nine decades on the same corner. 7 Corry Lynn Road wears it effortlessly. A rare and significant 1925 Federation residence on a sprawling 1,196m² corner block in the riverside heart of Claremont, this single-level brick home is nothing short of spectacular. Absolutely private with soaring ceilings, wide wrought iron-lace verandas, and lush established trees, it imbues the unhurried authority of a house that knows exactly what it is. The architecture is exquisitely classical: original jarrah floors running the full length of the home, decorative ceiling roses, fireplaces, generous sash windows, and elegant heritage detailing all beautifully retained. At the front, a grand bedroom and large formal lounge anchor the home in its era, each with an original fireplace and filled with northern light. The master bedroom is generously proportioned, carpeted for comfort, with large French doors capturing city skyline glimpses and opening directly to the front veranda and garden. The master ensuite is quietly theatrical: arched windows, a freestanding bath, natural stone benchtops and perfectly illuminated. The remaining two bedrooms are equally considered, each large with classical windows, heritage features and a separate study or wardrobe alcove, all looking out to an exquisitely landscaped courtyard and wall garden that changes with the seasons. The family bathroom is a study in natural light and restraint with its curved glass and natural stone benchtops. The vast open-plan kitchen, living and dining flows seamlessly to the alfresco through three sets of elegant French double doors, creating the kind of indoor-outdoor life that Perth does better than anywhere. The kitchen is full of light and promise: refurbished floors, new oven, gas hob, and generous storage space. A scullery and laundry adjoin it neatly. Outside, the estate reveals itself further. Stone paving grounds a shaded pergola and outdoor dining space. A large separate fire pit sits ringed in limestone, tucked amid roses and greenery. The jewel in the crown? A secret cellar hidden beneath the home - a fully temperature-controlled limestone-lined speakeasy, lit low, with a formed concrete bench. The swimming pool is salt water, heated, semi-raised and surrounded by lemon trees and bay hedging. A two-storey separate structure at the rear serves currently as a shed, but reads just as convincingly as a home office, art studio, or self-contained guest quarters, au pair accommodation, or an Airbnb. The location, of course, needs little introduction. Methodist Ladies' College and Christ Church Grammar are just minutes away on foot. Claremont Quarter, the Swan River, Claremont train station - with trains running every six minutes at peak - and Stirling Highway for a swift run into the CBD complete a picture that is, by any measure, the finest kind of Claremont life. Few homes earn the word estate. Fewer still earn it on a single level, in the heart of riverside Claremont, with wrought iron lace and a limestone cellar and enough garden to lose an afternoon in. This Federation classic is family life at its absolute best - sprawling, generous, and utterly irreplaceable. HOME OPEN CANCELLED
