Lush garden seclusion & heavenly home near the sea
A peaceful street close to the beach is a heavenly place to be, especially when you can experience the total relaxation of this immaculate and beautifully individual resort-style home. Step in to the serene atmosphere created by unusually large light-filled rooms flowing out to the cool seclusion of shady tropical gardens. Thoughtful architectural design has led to a surprisingly extensive array of generous spaces, superb functionality and excellent flexibility, including the possibility of easy inter-generational living.
The sense of space is immediately striking: a double height void soaring over a very wide hallway, where the light honey-coloured West Australian karri timber is an unusual and beautiful choice for the flooring. The karri continues through to the vast open plan, where you feel you are part of the lush greenery in the tropical gardens that surround. To the north, the home opens seamlessly to entertainment decks for lounging and outdoor dining, and the sounds of flowing water from a series of ponds adds to the relaxation. A raised timber path leads past the lily pond to a gazebo hideaway, just perfect for curling up with a book, and there’s even a little putting green among the citrus and fig trees.
Inside, the vast kitchen features classic pale Caesarstone and huge amounts of storage, including a wall of pull-out pantry cupboards and drawers. The kitchen continues through to the long laundry/butler’s pantry, flowing out to the utility zone with raised veggie garden, drying court and garden shed. This kind of practicality is a wonderful aspect of this home, and the extensive storage is a real feature, including a series of walk-in storage spaces upstairs and down, as well as an oversized garage with workshop space.
Also on ground level is a large office or theatre room, and a spacious bedroom with en-suite – ideal if you prefer a downstairs master suite, or for guests or extended family. Upstairs, more gleaming karri floors lead you to the master suite with huge en-suite, walk-in-robe and private balcony; two more good-sized bedrooms, and the family bathroom. The upstairs living has a terrace to the east, a lovely spot for the morning sun.
Breaksea Drive is a delightful cul-de-sac lined with shady paperbarks - so quiet that the local children love to play in the street. With South Beach about five minutes’ walk away and Hollis Park nearby, you and your family can enjoy the active coastal lifestyle as well the social buzz of South Freo cafes, shopping and restaurants and Saturday nights at the South Beach Sunset Markets. Then just stroll back to the cool resort feeling of this exceptional home.
