Prime Potential | Original Cottesloe Beach Cottage
This charming two bedroom, one bathroom cottage captures the essence of carefree, breezy beach days from a bygone era - surrounded by sprawling gardens, generous patio spaces, and Cottesloe's iconic Norfolk pines. Revered for its ample verge setback and wide streetscape, this coveted location is just steps from one of WA's most desirable beaches and offers extraordinary potential to develop or renovate on a sizeable 503sqm block.
Take a leisurely stroll over the hill to North Cottesloe Beach, dive into a lifestyle of beachside walks, café cuisine, and sunset drinks, or walk to local schools and playgrounds, this prized land provides the perfect foundation to create a dream build to capture a northern aspect and views over the pines - or enjoy the existing charm of this enigmatic home and the enriching lifestyle it brings.
Original matte jarrah floors and high ceilings complement an interior refresh of warm whites with a quality fit-out.
A modern galley-style kitchen, appointed in gloss white cabinetry, a Belling oven, 4-burner induction stove, and Euromaid dishwasher, extends to the dining room where French doors reveal a huge patio area and original wash house which has been converted into a functional laundry and workshop, complete with ample bench space and storage.
The adjoining bathroom evokes coastal spa-retreat vibes with travertine-look floor tiles, a modern vanity, and the addition of a separate toilet that offers dual access to the patio and interior.
From the sunny entrance foyer, a spacious bedroom with generous separation from the rest of the home enjoys elevated views overlooking the garden and terrace from large-set windows.
Preserving the home's traditional floor plan, an original brick surround fireplace anchors a cozy central lounge room - bathed in natural light from a sizeable sash window.
Tucked away at the far rear, the master bedroom, with a split-system air-conditioner and ceiling fan, has optimized a perimeter void by installing a vast dressing room with ample storage and independent access to the front veranda.
The tiered garden, awash in unobstructed northern light, offers potential in spades, with ample room for a pool, a veggie garden, or a tranquil seaside oasis, while right-of-way access to the double carport is a bonus.
Other features include modern ceiling fans throughout and a video doorbell at the entrance.
