Steeped in soul, rich in story and unforgettable, this breathtaking 4 bedroom 3 bathroom charmer with a separate 1x1 self-contained studio is more than just a home - it's a century-old journey through time, beautifully reimagined for modern family living.

Peacefully nestled within one of Claremont's whisper-quiet, leafy enclaves - where children can roam and play freely - the prestigious "Morgan House" is a residence of rare distinction, crowned with an impressive Architecture Design Award in 1989 and brilliantly inspired by acclaimed Perth architect Brian Klopper. Behind its striking façade with a tiled wraparound entry verandah and a leadlight feature entry door with panelling lies a world where soaring high ceilings, rich timber floors and timeless character details seamlessly intertwine with stylish renovations in all the spaces that matter most.

A huge master-bedroom retreat at the front of the floor plan boasts a feature fireplace, separate fitted "his and hers" walk-in wardrobes with floor-to-ceiling storage and folding double white plantation shutters that extend into a light, bright and large ensuite bathroom - with a walk-in rain/hose shower, twin stone vanities, a heated towel rack, a separate toilet and floor-to-ceiling tiling.

There is heaps of room for sleep, study and storage within a generous second bedroom - graced by a ceiling rose and fireplace, with the light-filled third bedroom playing host to its own fireplace and a separate access door to the front verandah. A separate toilet and powder area neighbour the impressively-updated main family bathroom, comprising of a bathtub with a showerhead, twin-vanity basins and a stunning leadlight sash window.

The central atrium doubles as a tiled entry foyer - or second main access point to the home - with a soaring cathedral-style glass ceiling, plus separate double French doors that lead into an enclosed television room with parquetry floors and double-door access out to the side garden.

It all overlooks a massive sunken open-plan family, dining and modernised-kitchen area that is light, bright and features a leadlight window, parquetry flooring, cathedral-style high ceilings, a burning wood fireplace, ample storage, sparkling stone bench tops, an integrated Blanco stainless-steel range hood, a new Smeg five-burner gas-cooktop/oven combination and a new stainless-steel dishwasher of the same brand. The connecting laundry/scullery off here features a white Bosch dishwasher of its own, alongside under-bench storage, a microwave nook and a direct backyard access door.

Upstairs, the cathedral ceilings continue within the loft - or fourth bedroom - with its own leadlight feature window, white plantation shutters and a void view down to the main living zone. Three sets of double sliding doors extend entertaining out to the rear yard and a side garden verandah, as well as lush green lawn, a new fully-tiled below-ground swimming pool with room to relax around it, a large separate alfresco with storage and its own external powder room and an adjacent courtyard with stairs leading up to the wildcard of the floor plan - the cleverly-designed studio.

Double doors open up to the extra accommodation, where a cathedral-style high ceiling, double sinks and open robe space complement the combined living/meals/kitchenette area. The ensuite/third bathroom is made up of an extra shower, toilet and vanity basin, for good measure.

A rear tree-house, a gated storage area with a pool/garden shed, a side drying courtyard and a separate hidden side courtyard for further sitting and quiet contemplation help complete the property's abundance of external features.

A short stroll around the corner reveals beautiful Claremont Park, playgrounds and the Claremont Library, with bus stops, the Claremont Bowling Club and Freshwater Primary School also an easy walk away, for good measure. Boutiques, cafés and restaurants at the world-class Claremont Quarter precinct and Bay View Terrace are also very much nearby, as are our picturesque Swan River and yacht clubs.

Christ Church Grammar School, Methodist Ladies' College, Scotch College, Shenton College, the University of Western Australia, the pristine sands of Cottesloe Beach and the Perth CBD can all be easily reached by train or bus, for the utmost in living convenience.

Warm, welcoming and wonderfully unique, this is a home with heart, heritage and absolutely everything you could wish for - all wrapped up in one extraordinary Claremont package!
