17A John Street, Cottesloe WA 6011

When local award-winning architects Sharp and Van Rhyn received the brief at 17a John Street, they envisioned a residence that captured the essence of coastal living. They set about crafting a design story that was both superbly creative in form but remained highly responsive to the site and its natural environment. The outcome, a contemporary three-bedroom plus study, two-bathroom home metres to the sublime Cottesloe Beach, delivered this and so much more.

With direct north facing living spaces and a superbly private frontage, the double storey build enjoys both a sophisticated design palette and a highly functional floorplan. The mature white flowering Frangipani tree in the alfresco sets the scene for what is a cherished ocean side family residence that enjoys a unique balance of luxury finishes and the elusive laid-back genre of its prime Cottesloe position.

The oversized frosted glass front door opens to a clever fusion of spaces. The superbly appointed living and entertaining areas are flanked by large well-positioned stackable glass doors that blur the lines between in and out. The scale and composition of the main ground floor living area utilize both its sought-after northern orientation and a clever internal courtyard to deliver beautiful natural light deep into the space.

A depth of character is achieved in the kitchen area with a blend of delightful, rectified marble tiles underfoot, dark, and light finish stone tops and light grain timber cabinetry. The island bench with stone waterfall end and double bowl sinks anchors the highly functional 'command central'. As you would expect of its calibre, integrated appliances, ample drawer and pantry storage options and great workspace allow for versatile catering and 'on demand' flexibility.

The ground floor study positioned to enjoy both the internal courtyard and the abundant winter sunshine can also be converted to an optional Master Suite. Currently used as an executive home office, the owners had the foresight to install the required plumbing and services needed should one wish to create a ground level fourth bedroom suite.

The Master Suite and its north facing balcony is on the first level and is positioned to enjoy its leafy John Street outlook. The large, well-appointed ensuite bathroom includes an 'open plan' freestanding bathtub, private WC, and shower recess. Full height tiling, marble finish flooring and double floating timber finish vanities complete the executive master suite.

Two further generously sized bedrooms, a clever open laundry space and separate powder room on the same level are positioned to the rear of the home and are serviced by a large family bathroom.

The versatile below ground floor has an acoustically treated media room and a large walk-in storage and/or wine room. The flexible 'basement' living space has been finished with lush carpet, sound panels, gorgeous wallpaper, intricate ceiling profiles and custom built in cabinetry.
There is a double garage for two vehicles off the rear laneway which also opens to the side service area. The side passage accesses both the front and rear of the home and is fitted with a hot and cold outdoor shower.
