A captivating blend of period architecture and modern design has created one of the most appealing homes to be offered in North Cottesloe this year. This character 3-4 bedroom home has been meticulously transformed with no stone left unturned. A cleverly planned layout is simply perfect for families seeking an extraordinary coastal lifestyle, or Downsizers requiring superb single level, ocean-side living.

This original double fronted bungalow is perfectly positioned on an elevated 700sqm lot and has been charmingly restored with a modern touch. Striking high ceilings with ornate features and cornices cleverly combine with polished jarrah floorboards within the original section of the home. A majestic master bedroom is irresistible and has a beautifully appointed en suite and large walk-in-robe. There are two further bedrooms and a study or activity room that could easily be utilised as a fourth bedroom. These bedrooms are serviced by a large modern bathroom and a large laundry providing plenty of storage.

The imposing open kitchen with stone bench tops and huge 4.5 metre walk in pantry flows effortlessly into the spacious light filled dining and family room areas boasting pristine Italian floor tiles and feature recessed ceilings. Expansive commercial stacker doors create a seamless transition from this main living area to a superb travertine paved outdoor entertaining area with built-in timber seating.

An inviting salt water pool helps you cool down, or entertain in the hotter months and a detached storeroom can easily double as a bunkhouse or teenagers retreat. A double carport and front paved yard is accessed via an automatic security gate and a beautiful wide verge offers further parking options if required.
