Cottesloe WA 6011

At Cottesloe s highest point, the vista from the four upstairs bedrooms and sunroom takes in the whole of this sought-after suburb. The main house is surrounded by high walls and trees and set behind the office. The generous block length means that the courtyard, sleeping and living areas are protected from noise. This provides the best of both worlds with both quiet and private living, as well as wonderful positioning for a home-based business or a quick exit to Fremantle or the city via the rear laneway.
Both Cottesloe Beach and the Peppermint Grove foreshore are an easy walk a lazy 20-minute stroll gets you to dawn coffee at North Cott s popular beachside caf , Little SUP. A mere six minutes the other way has you at the Swan River with your sunset picnic. Perth s premier private schools are a quick walk/cycle away, as is North Cottesloe Primary which is less than 200 metres down the hill.
There are four bedrooms, however this could easily become a five or six-bedroom house. There are at least four living spaces as well as the courtyard and dinner party-friendly dining room. Those with a mid-century modernist eye will love the original cabinetry, windows, staircase, wrought iron gate and ceilings with which minimal restoration would attract the eye of architecture magazines.
The kitchen is a large yet cosy hub for family life spent together, something we crave in this digital age. It has a walk-in pantry and leads to the laundry room. Long benches surround the big table, wonderful for everyone pouring in and out for meals, homework, chats and snacks. Entertaining friends is a must here inside and out, and the neighbours are far enough away that you can turn the stereo up without disturbing anyone. Beyond the dining room a sun room opens onto the quiet, elegant courtyard with original pergola, a design element the architect was renowned for.
It is getting harder to find mid-century beauties of this size and calibre around Cottesloe, and once sold they come up again infrequently. This is a remarkable opportunity to experience living in a substantial and elevated Cottesloe location in an expansive, beautiful architect-designed house.
