Listed with price hopes of $32 million to $35 million, the property at 56 Duncraig Road in Applecross is a former nurses’ quarters that’s been transformed into a glamorous six-bedroom, 10-bathroom home. Should the $35 million guide be achieved, the property would become Western Australia’s second most expensive home. A mansion in the Perth suburb of Mosman Park sold for $57.5 million in 2009. It would also surpass the Applecross house price record of $19.5 million. Called Duncraig House, the property is situated on a 3204-square-metre parcel of land and is the former nurses’ quarters of Heathcote Hospital. Built in the 1920s, the quarters were designed to house 36 nurses and were later transformed into three boutique residences. The current owner has since converted the residences into one mansion. Agent Jefferson Wedge says Duncraig Road is one of the “most tightly held and prestigious streets” in Perth. Agent wears gas mask to show off eyesore home 'only for the brave' An iconic piece of Aussie history gets a new lease on life Going, going, gone: The Perth suburbs where houses are selling like wildfire “Applecross is a prestigious suburb south of Swan River. The property’s elevated riverfront ensures you not only get views of Swan River but also the city skyline,” he explains. Domain’s latest data reveals the median house price for Applecross is $1.45 million, highlighting an increase of 5.8 per cent over five years. The property is situated behind a sweeping driveway and is described on the listing as a “regal home” that blends “modern-day finishes with the timeless charm of yesteryear”. Completed in 2022, Duncraig House has undergone a meticulous renovation with architecture by Hocking Heritage and Architecture, interiors by Gameface HQ and Leah Paige Designs, as well as landscaping by Paul Bangay. Interiors feature panelled Jarrah walls, designer lighting and arched doorways. Wellness is at the forefront of the home with a dedicated “wellness lounge” on the basement level. The listing states the wellness lounge, that comes complete with an infrared sauna and steam room, is “accessed via a glass extension with travertine limestone floors and a floating staircase”. Jefferson Wedge reveals that the vendor, who is known for restoring classic Bentley cars, “particularly loves the infrared sauna after travelling”. He also says that in the prestige market it’s important for homes to have a feature that is “unique and different” and that the wellness lounge ticks this box. The basement level also contains a 25-car garage, workshop, gym and lounge with a bar and DJ station. Other entertainment zones include the 12-person spa, infinity-edge pool and alfresco kitchen with pizza oven and barbecue. There is also a 1200-bottle wine cellar to ensure guests don’t go thirsty.
