Peppermint Grove

A Residence of Presence, Privacy, and Effortless Design

Set high on its elevated corner parcel, framed by the graceful canopy of peppermint trees that define this tightly held enclave, this residence carries a quiet authority. It is a home that sits comfortably within its landscape — structured hedging, established gardens and softened architectural lines allowing it to feel both distinguished and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Originally constructed by Buildwise, the precursor to Giorgi, the residence reflects a pedigree of enduring craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Beyond its refined façade lies a home that is not only elegant in form, but exceptionally intelligent in function — thoughtfully designed for modern family life.

The approach is from the side — private, considered, and quietly grand. The entrance sequence opens deliberately before revealing the spectacular central living domain in a moment of genuine impact. Soaring ceilings elevate the space, while high-set feature windows draw layers of northern light deep into the home, illuminating expansive NSW Blackbutt timber floors throughout the day.

The living environment is generous and beautifully connected — an impressive L-shaped open-plan arrangement that brings together living, dining and kitchen spaces with effortless flow. Walls of bi-fold glazing dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, opening entirely to the alfresco terrace and swimming pool beyond. When the doors are drawn back, the home transforms into one seamless entertaining environment, allowing family life to move effortlessly between inside and outside.

Positioned alongside the main living space is a dedicated theatre or family rumpus room — ideal for movie nights, children’s retreat or relaxed entertaining — offering valuable flexibility while remaining connected to the heart of the home.

At the centre of it all, the kitchen has been designed as both a statement and a command centre. Installed by European Concepts in September 2020, the space is anchored by a substantial Statuario-inspired stone island — both sculptural and highly functional — and equipped with premium appliances including double ovens and a steamer by Swiss brand V-ZUG, Liebherr integrated refrigeration with ice maker, induction cooktop and two Miele dishwashers. A Zip tap provides instant sparkling, chilled and boiling water, enhancing the ease of everyday living and entertaining. A generous scullery provides exceptional preparation and storage capacity, allowing the main kitchen to remain beautifully composed when hosting. Cleverly integrated within the kitchen zone is a practical study nook — a place for busy parents to stay on top of emails, school schedules or household life while remaining connected to family activity around them. A well-positioned laundry nearby further enhances the practicality of this central hub, ensuring daily routines unfold with ease.

From the kitchen and living areas, sightlines extend clearly across the alfresco and pool, allowing parents to supervise children swimming or playing outdoors while continuing with the rhythm of everyday life inside. It is a home designed for connection — for long lunches that drift into evening, children moving freely between pool and lawn, and gatherings that feel relaxed regardless of scale.

Although the residence spans two levels, a significant proportion of everyday living occurs across the primary floor, allowing it to function with the ease and convenience of a single-level home. The layout is exceptionally intuitive, with carefully planned wings that create both connection and separation as family needs evolve.

The children’s wing provides a beautifully designed retreat of its own, featuring three generous bedrooms, each with soaring ceilings and walk-in robes. A well-appointed family bathroom with double vanity and bath services this zone, while an enchanting upstairs loft — illuminated by Velux windows — creates a magical hideaway where children can watch movies, gather with friends or spend hours building Lego masterpieces. It is a space that captures imagination while offering a degree of independence within the home.

Privately positioned, the master wing is truly exceptional. A dedicated study with bespoke cabinetry overlooks the canopy of peppermint trees, creating a serene setting for work or quiet reflection. The bedroom itself enjoys an elevated outlook across the treetops, with a beautifully appointed ensuite, generous walk-in robe and a charming Juliet balcony completing what feels like a private retreat within the home.

The lower level further reinforces the home’s exceptional practicality. The double garage is complemented by an adjacent space ideal for a third or vintage vehicle, currently configured as a gym, along with substantial storage and a cellar area. These flexible spaces provide the kind of functionality that supports modern family living without compromise.

In front of the garage, the secure gated forecourt offers an expansive and highly versatile outdoor area. It is large enough for children to shoot basketball in the afternoon, while also providing space for storing and washing down a tender after returning from Freshwater Bay Yacht Club. For those who enjoy homegrown produce, three raised vegetable gardens sit comfortably within this secure space, adding another layer of lifestyle appeal.

Although the residence offers impressive scale, its intelligent design ensures it remains equally appealing to a broad range of buyers. The ease of living predominantly across one primary level, combined with thoughtful separation of spaces, makes the home exceptionally well suited not only to families, but also to professional couples and discerning downsizers seeking a refined residence without compromise. It is a home that adapts effortlessly — providing comfort, privacy and functionality through every stage of life.

Positioned within easy reach of the Swan River foreshore and the Indian Ocean coastline, the home also enjoys convenient access to the cafés, restaurants and boutiques of Napoleon Street in nearby Cottesloe — whether for a relaxed meal at Il Lido or Sals, or an afternoon of local shopping.

Every element of this residence has been considered through the lens of longevity, functionality and liveability. It adapts gracefully as families grow, as children become teenagers, and as entertaining styles evolve.

Above all, the home embodies the understated elegance for which Peppermint Grove is renowned — elevated, north-facing and immersed in established greenery. It captures light, privacy and presence in equal measure, offering a residence designed not merely to impress, but to be lived in beautifully for years to come.
