Original foundations and features blend comfortably with a modern extension built for the ideal lifestyle that this sought-after location encapsulates.

Walking distance to the beach, walking trails, nature reserves, the Swan River foreshore and some of the suburb's most popular parks, this is a home that exudes warmth, character, and atmosphere and that will comfortably house a growing family for years to come.

Move straight in and enjoy all of the space and features this family home provides or look to the future and place your own stamp on its solidly built and nurtured foundations. Comfortable and spacious with generously proportioned rooms throughout and the trademark high ceilings and floor plan characteristic of its era of origin, the best of this home's original features have been preserved, enhanced and built on to cater for the needs of a busy modern family.

Elevated above street level with a rear vista that captures the iconic beauty of the Cottesloe pines in the distance, this home is well positioned to capture Western Australia's iconic, year-round natural light and the daily insulation of this coastline's iconic sea breezes.

From the retro Indy cycle resting in the front yard, to the fire pit in the rear courtyard, this is a home that is built for neighbourhood get togethers, children playing and relaxed, informal entertaining.

The elevated front verandah features white painted fretwork set against a sophisticated palette of grey and black and provides natural interaction with the street and a vantage point to watch the neighbourhood children play. More akin to the suburban family life of decades ago, the street is a haven for local children and a social gathering point for locals and visitors alike.

Host to many a street and neighbourhood party, this is a home that has welcomed and celebrated with friends and neighbours keen to preserve the welcoming concept of community.

A classical stained glass front door leads into a traditional floor plan characteristic of the era with spacious bedrooms either side of a central corridor with pressed tin ceilings and generous proportions.

Three large double bedrooms are located at the front of the home, two with traditional fireplaces and all featuring original sash windows and period features. The master bedroom blends the classic features of its original era with contemporary finishes including black wooden built-in robes, modern touches and split system air conditioning.

The second and third bedrooms are equally generously sized, again with trademark high ceilings and robes and offer the versatility of size and a classic style to adapt to the incoming needs of the new owners. A fourth bedroom in the rear of the house features timber French doors opening out onto the rear courtyard and could easily double as a study or home office space.

The bathroom has been given a contemporary makeover in a classic palette of white and black and mixes timeless white tiling, with black slate floors and a traditional claw foot bath.

The renovated kitchen provides the anchor point between the traditional and modern and is the hub around which family living radiates. Generously sized with ample storage, it features a white central island bench and dining space that opens effortlessly onto a rear living space and study or fourth bedroom.

Relaxed and informal with classic timber floorboards and high ceilings, it blends exposed brick with references to its history and origin and opens directly onto a paved outdoor entertaining space set up for year-round use.

Timber French doors open out onto a rear paved entertaining space facilitating an easy movement between indoors and out.

A large rear yard comfortably houses a garden shed and trampoline with an elevated aspect looking back towards Cottesloe and the streets beyond and offers plenty of potential to add your own touches.

Set on a spacious 430 north south facing block with elevation from street level, there are options for further extension or an additional floor to capture the vista across the suburb and Indian Ocean beyond.
