Described by its owners as the ‘ultimate beach house’, this enchanting cottage, clad in indigo-blue corrugated iron and recycled timbers, enjoys prime street elevation, ocean glimpses and golden sunsets. An outdoor shower, hybrid oak floors, breezy open plan living and an inviting front porch evoke supremely relaxing, coastal vibes. As children ride their bikes down the close-knit street, neighbours walk their pooches and the Freo Doctor makes its house-call for the day, the light-filled kitchen, with island-style plantation shutters and front-row views, takes it all in.
The kitchen is the greeting point. Overlooking an enchanting front garden (framed by a picket fence and tasteful landscaping), limestone paving (to accommodate an outdoor table), a fire pit, and of course, the elevated veranda – are the meeting points where endless cuppas and wine afternoons are common practice. Fitted with abundant white cabinetry and storage, a four-burner gas cook top and a double-drawer dishwasher, the kitchen leads to the open plan living and dining with duplicate views to the front garden, a free-standing wood fireplace, and double-door access to an enclosed rear alfresco.
Intentionally designed for a beach-loving lifestyle, this supremely private zone is laid in artificial grass and includes a huge wall mirror for the perfect yoga practice, water feature “surround-sound” acoustics courtesy of the neighbouring property, and a handy outdoor shower – tucked away from view above timber decking. From here, there is also ample storage for water toys and leisure equipment from the west-side pathway.
Each bedroom is laid in plush, cobalt-blue carpet and fitted with air-conditioning units, while the master suite includes drop-ladder access to a spacious ceiling attic (with power and sturdy marine ply flooring) and external side-corridor access for added breezeways efficiencies.
The generous, light-filled bathroom adopts classic beach-house aesthetics, with a free-standing, claw-foot bath, a generous shower and inclusions for a European laundry (there is a drying court located at the side pathway).
Other features include west-facing windows in the living room to attract maximum sea breezes and natural light, secure wind-out lockable windows, security mesh on all doors and keyless touchscreen front door, roller blinds on windows (plantation shutters fitted to all front windows), downlighting, and ceiling fans throughout the living, kitchen and dining (plus several air-conditioning units).
There really is something uniquely special about this endearing coastal pocket of Beaconsfield; just minutes from Freo’s eclectic dining, café and cultural scene, a direct stroll to South Beach, close proximity to the river and port attractions, and a primary school just one street away (Beaconsfield Primary School), plus access to an inclusive and vigilant neighbourhood community, makes living here akin to being on a relaxing, carefree vacation near the river and the sea.
