11 Barrow Crescent, North Coogee WA 6163

Natural luxury: coastal family home

Quality contemporary homes line the quiet streets around award-winning Barrow Park, in a peaceful environment where a stroll to the beach is part of the everyday coastal life. This is a home with a relaxed feeling that fits right in to the location: elegant natural-toned décor, secluded master suite, north-facing open-plan wrapping around a private alfresco, and a second living area with balcony upstairs. It all has a tranquil atmosphere, but it’s easy to dip into the buzz of South Fremantle restaurants, cafes and shopping nearby.

The elegant exterior with limestone features and touches of red cedar, leads to the lofty double-height entry and an expanse of porcelain-tiled floors. Secluded at the front of the home, the master suite features a large walk-in-robe and en-suite with spa. An additional powder room and walk-in storage room are nearby, and mirror panelling on the hallway walls enhances the sense of space.

Beyond double doors, the open-plan flows in distinct zones for dining, lounging, and creating wonderful meals in the fine kitchen: stone tops in sparkling aggregate, masses of cabinetry, six-burner Smeg range, a walk-in pantry, and splashbacks in glass and stainless steel. The living and dining wrap around the alfresco, where the same porcelain tiles continue to create an inside-out feeling. With repeated plantings and limestone garden beds, the courtyard is low-maintenance and private.

Upstairs has some clever features for family harmony, with the bathroom divided into three distinct spaces: vanity room, separate toilet, and another room for bath and shower. Three light and bright bedrooms are nearby, plus a study nook and more extensive storage. From the upstairs living room, you can step out to the glass-walled balcony for spectacular sunsets.

It’s a great layout for family living; practical as well as luxurious. Around the corner is the beautifully landscaped community hub of Barrow Park and, best of all, beyond that is the ocean.
