Simply stunning...A classic 1920's character cottage, spectacularly transformed to a masterful synergy of old and new where original character blends effortlessly into powerful contemporary spaces; a remarkable fusion showcasing architectural vision, industrial flair and creative design ingenuity from architect Jonathan Jones.
Greeted by a modern black timber front door, soaring ceilings, gleaming jarrah floors, feature fireplaces, deep skirtings, picture rails and beautiful ceiling roses which sit easily alongside ultra-modern spaces featuring stone, tile, glass and timber.
Three gorgeous bedrooms open from the long, traditional hallway at the front of the home. The sumptuous master is a sophisticated adult retreat with a floor to ceiling open fireplace as its striking centerpiece, an elegant dressing room and luxurious en-suite. The two children's bedrooms are generously sized, with tall windows and custom cabinetry.
Where jarrah melds seamlessly into tile, walls of glass frame the open plan spaces with spectacular outdoor entertaining areas beyond. A striking Basalt stone fireplace wall takes centre stage in the stunning living room whilst a dramatic, streamlined, superbly appointed kitchen in black with statement 4m island in contrasting pale stone firmly anchors family dining. Walk through the concealed door in the timber feature wall to find a scullery with second dishwasher, sink, floor to ceiling storage, space for a bar fridge, and large practical laundry opening to a separate drying courtyard.
Huge black framed glass walls in family living areas slide open to a magnificent decked and timber lined alfresco creating seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. The wraparound deck and verandah feature a fabulous outdoor kitchen with BBQ and Vintec fridge set into a granite counter and cabinetry. A servery window above cleverly connects the outdoor and indoor kitchen. To the rear, the deck gives way to honed concrete steps leading to a glorious garden playground with plenty of room for the kids and dog. Timber steps lead down to the private, solar heated pool.
The incredible upper floor offers another inspired living proposition - two fabulous king size bedrooms with wall to wall storage, a huge 3rd living room with study area and elegant bathroom. An absolutely perfect space for teens to retreat, guests, extended family or au pair. One king bedroom and the living area open to a gorgeous timber lined balcony under the roof line with spectacular views across Cottesloe, iconic Norfolk Pines to the ocean beyond.
Superbly situated just moments from Grant St Station, North Cottesloe Primary School and just minutes to Napoleon St, Cottesloe Beach, restaurants, cafes, excellent private and public schools, Claremont Quarter and cosmopolitan Fremantle.
A masterpiece of effortless style, understated elegance and modern splendour; an outstanding residence of distinction and a simply spectacular family home epitomizing relaxed, yet luxurious Australian living at its best.
