Perched high on a hill, with uninterrupted city and treetop views, 15 Barnsley Road is a rare opportunity to secure a position in this coveted locale, adjacent to the historic Christ Church playing fields and Cottesloe Golf Club and close to City Beach. Two side-by-side '60s houses have been architecturally reconfigured to create an expansive 774sqm extended-family abode on a massive 1,743sqm landholding with 60m street frontage and potential for future subdivision.
Set in spectacular gardens, the property is ideal for multigenerational living or accommodating family and friends from afar. Extensively upgraded by the current owners, it blends mid-century aesthetics and contemporary influences. Generous proportions and abundant natural light create an exceptional sense of space and connection to the outdoors.
The versatile floorplan offers flexibility, functionality and separation, with multiple living areas, five bedrooms, three bathrooms (plus powder room), two kitchens, two laundries, an expansive deck and cabana, a pebbled terrace with pavilion, a 15m saltwater pool, a spa, outdoor shower, pond and waterfall.
There's room to entertain in style, dine a deux, observe the local wildlife or simply relax and unwind in peace. Swim naked, take a spa, shower outdoors and feel completely free; privacy is a given, with no sightlines from neighbouring properties.
Located just steps from the historic Christ Church playing fields and Cottesloe Golf Course, a stroll away from Lake Claremont, Bold Park and Mount Claremont Village and a short ride to North Cottesloe Beach, City Beach and the retail and dining precincts of Claremont Quarter, Cottesloe and Floreat Forum, this impressive home is also within easy reach of excellent school and medical facilities.
