A couple of years ago, we were lucky enough to peek inside Booth House\u2026<\/p>\n

Originally built in 1970, the City Beach home was designed by iconic Perth-based architect Iwan Iwanoff \u2013 but over the ensuing 50-plus years, it had lost some of its glimmer. <\/p>\n

When we last took a look at Booth House in 2023<\/a>, it had just been thoughtfully reimagined by interdisciplinary design practice State of Kin \u2013 peeling back layers of insensitive renovations and rebuilt brick-by-brick, reinterpreting Iwanoff\u2019s original design into a new age.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s entering yet another era: Booth House is now officially on the market!<\/a><\/p>\n

Located at 59 Oban Road, the four-bedroom home\u2019s appeal transcends its impressive modernist design, with a 948sqm block just a stone\u2019s throw from Floreat Beach.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Iwanoff\u2019s signature concrete blocks remain a feature, offset by the warmth of teak panelling and sumptuous stone surfaces.<\/p>\n

The layout looks to Iwanoff\u2019s original floor plans, although opens up spaces like the kitchen and dining room to reflect a more contemporary mode of living.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Similarly, the emphasis between the connection between indoors and outdoors is heightened: a ubiquitous contemporary expression, sure, but one integral to modern liveability \u2013 especially when the outdoor space looks like this. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A loggia runs along the southern wing of the home, the large primary bedroom suite within overlooking the pool and alfresco. <\/p>\n

Like an upscale hotel room, the ensuite is separated from the bedroom via sculptural timber vanity \u2013 that to us, evokes mid-century kitchens, and even timber-veneered kitchens in other Iwanoff homes. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A smaller bedroom has been tucked away behind the primary suite \u2013 looking out onto the garden, it\u2019s been transformed here into a light-filled home gym. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While the other two bedrooms look to the front of the home, they\u2019re no less tranquil \u2013 and feature their own stylish built-in cabinetry with reeded glass.<\/p>\n
