16 Clarendon Street, Cottesloe WA 6011

Nestled on an elevated extra-wide site in highly desirable and tightly held Clarendon Street, this superb architecturally-designed property ticks every box. Set amidst lush landscaping, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom 3-level residence boasts exceptional attention to detail and premium finishes throughout.

Aside from a beautifully appointed guest suite, the entire ground floor is devoted to living and entertaining. Exquisite Travertine flows throughout the external and internal zones on this level, both as a honed floor covering and panels of raw wall cladding. Two interior living areas include the open plan family space and a separate lounge/activity room - both of which are north-facing and overlook the spectacular resort-style gardens, alfresco and pool area.

The designer kitchen will take your breath away, complete with gleaming porcelain benchtops and splashbacks, luxe soft-closing cabinetry, a suite of high-end integrated Miele appliances and a ZipTap with hot/cold/sparkling water. The adjacent butler's pantry hosts a second dishwasher, integrated Miele freezer and additional storage.

Outdoors, your entertainment is covered throughout the seasons with the impressive alfresco, encompassing a built-in kitchen with twin wine fridges, a grill, sink and a woodfired pizza oven - all beneath a stunning curved timber-lined roof. Oversized sash windows and glass stacking doors open up to seamlessly connect the indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The heated saltwater lap pool provides year-round enjoyment and features a timber bathing deck, frameless glass balustrading and wall-mounted planter boxes brimming with tropical greenery. You'll appreciate the outdoor bathroom for rinsing off between swims or after a refreshing ocean dip.

Upstairs, you'll find beautiful French Oak parquetry flooring in every room and Travertine in the wet areas. Three generous minor bedrooms all feature built-in robes and ceiling fans, with bedroom 2 having its own private ensuite. The opulent master suite is located on the eastern side of the residence and boasts every imaginable luxury, including a living area converted into a jaw-dropping, customised walk-in dressing room.

An expansive wraparound balcony crafted Pacific teak from the Solomon Islands offers a tranquil, leafy outlook that captures Cottesloe's iconic Norfolk Island pines and the home's own established gardens. The luxurious ensuite features privacy plinths in place of glass and a recessed bathtub positioned to enjoy the serene view and ocean breezes.

The basement level reveals some welcome surprises, including a wine cellar, a storeroom and further storage beneath the stairs. Stay in shape with the purpose-built gymnasium, or remove the stud wall and upgrade the substantial 6-car garage to a massive 8-car capacity - every collector's dream!

You'll love the peace of mind that comes with this knockout home's high-level security, from the internal alarm system and audio-visual intercom to the multiple high definition CCTV cameras around the perimeter. Another 'nice to have' feature is the 6-person lift that services the three levels, great for multi-generational families and handy for transporting luggage and heavy items.

Clarendon Street is one of Cottesloe's most sought-after locations, with properties in the locale rarely available. Stroll to Cottesloe Tennis Club and Civic Centre, North Cottesloe Primary School and of course, vibrant Marine Parade and the famous Cottesloe beaches. For shopping and dining, Cottesloe Central, Napoleon Street and The Boatshed are moments away, and Claremont Quarter is just a couple of kilometres up Stirling Highway.

The home is also well positioned for prestigious schools, including St Hildas, PLC and Scotch College, and the Swan River foreshore is also a leisurely stroll away.
