This elevated Cottesloe veranda residence occupying two separate lots with a combined landholding of 789 sqm, offers a rare convergence of scale, character, privacy and future optionality.
Set behind a limestone wall and framed by verdant, established gardens, the home rises gently from the street, creating a sense of arrival and private retreat that is increasingly rare in the heart of any suburb, let alone Cottesloe! Ascending through the gardens, you are welcomed onto a three-sided verandah, entering the home from the east, where morning light filters across the original rooms.
The residence retains its classic proportions and intimacy, accommodating:
A dedicated study
Master bedroom
A formal dining room
All reflecting the charm and volume of the home’s early considered construction. Circa 1910.
To the rear, the home opens into a substantial addition, seamlessly expanding the accommodation for modern family living. This latter living wing delivers generous living and bedroom spaces, allowing the house to function effortlessly as a large family home while preserving the identity of the original Residence.
More recent enhancements further elevate the lifestyle offering, including:
A north-facing lap pool, and
A private alfresco entertaining area, creating an outdoor sanctuary that captures sun, shelter and privacy throughout the day.
Vehicle access is discreet and practical, with a large double garage entered via the rear laneway, reinforcing the home’s privacy and freeing the main frontage for gardens and reflective living.
Importantly, while the property comprises two distinct lots-offering future potential (STCA)-the existing home is substantial, cohesive and highly desirable, standing comfortably as a long term family residence in its own right. There are ornate ceilings, wide jarrah boards, open fireplaces and beautiful aspects across the verandah to the spacious garden hidden from the street, a truly magical experience.
This is a true family beachside retreat – private, established and elevated – set within the beating heart of Cottesloe, moments from beaches, schools, cafes and village life, yet remarkably removed from the pace beyond its limestone walls. Between the Golf course and the tennis Club and midway between Broome Street and the Beach.
It is hard to imagine a home offering more for a family who loves living at the seaside in harmony with the coastal environment.
