110 High Street, Sorrento WA 6020

SORRENTO SPLENDOUR

The cleansing smell of ocean air, a magnificent gum tree and a secret, descending pathway that leaves the streetscape behind are all part of the welcoming committee to this magical coastal home.

The current owners' labour of love is apparent at every angle, from the recycled red brick features throughout the home, the Green Head jetty timber repurposed as shelves and no expense spared in all the details, from small to large.
Downstairs, a guest bedroom that could easily be the master considering its size, ensuite bathroom and separate powder room, and built-in robes. It overlooks the front garden, shaded by the gum tree's outstretched branches and surrounded by coastal natives that create a beautiful green space and require zero reticulation and minimal maintenance.
Further down the sunny hallway, lit up with natural light and smooth underfoot with polished concrete floors, is the laundry, opening out to the side garden. Here, you'll find an outdoor shower because let's face it, you'll be a frequent visitor of the beach when it's only an 800-metre walk away. Another thoughtful touch in the laundry is the extra bench space that allows it to double as a scullery.

However, you'll only need the extra space when hosting a large party as this kitchen has an abundance of storage (mostly soft-closing drawers) and surrounds a large island bench that doubles as a breakfast bar. Open plan living at its best, the coastal-toned living and dining areas seamlessly connect around the eye-catching feature of a gas fireplace, lined with the contrasting red of the recycled bricks.

The home perfectly captures the outside-in lifestyle, with bi-fold doors opening out into a multi-levelled outdoor space. Fiji mahogany, known for aging gracefully, lines the enormous rear deck that has been created to take full advantage of the spectacular Sorrento sunset. The current owners frequently hosted summer dinner parties, taking in the sunset with drinks before retreating to the lower space and built-in barbecue for meals. Beneath this area is a concealed double garage that was custom built with higher ceilings to cater for four-wheeled drives and roof racks - because surf boards and kayaks don't walk themselves to the beach, even if it is 800m.
Back indoors and up the pale oak-lined staircase, the blissful vibes keep on coming. The master bedroom is bright and breezy, with white shutters allowing plenty of afternoon sunshine to flood in over the built-in reading nook. The ensuite bathroom is open plan for good reason as the luxurious bathtub, front and centre, deserves to be seen. For a more discrete bathing experience, a separate shower complete with rain showerhead is tucked behind the bath. Completing the master bedroom is a spacious walk-in wardrobe with a seriously impressive shelving section for shoes.

The other two upstairs bedrooms also have built-in robes with the bonus feature of wide windows taking in further angles of that glorious gumtree. The bedrooms share a bathroom, with another option for a heavenly bubble bath there, and separate powder room so there'll be no queues in the morning.
While the outdoor spaces here will undoubtedly continue to be well-loved, it would be remiss to not mention the white sands and turquoise water of Sorrento beach, only a short walk away. The current owners were members of the Marmion Angling and Aquatic Club, which is situated at the end of the street, and provides a most idyllic way to see the sun sinking into the ocean. For more culinary adventures, Hillarys Boat Harbour is a short drive and Island Market Trigg just minutes in the other direction.

This is coastal living at its best, with a high quality 2015 build that considers all the details to make living here a dream.
