A quiet cul-de-sac five minutes’ walk from the beach is an idyllic place to live, and this impeccable resort-style home offers total relaxation. Bamboo floors, fresh white interiors, indoor-outdoor flow, heated pool/spa, theatre room and a third-level lookout to see the ships heading into the harbour are just some of the features that make this home out of the ordinary. The location is unbeatable: so peaceful that the kids play in the street, and you can stroll up to South Beach and enjoy the community vibe of South Freo cafes and shopping nearby.
Perfect lawn frames the exterior, and through the wide pivot doorway is an immediate sense of space. New bamboo floors flow in the extra-wide hallway, and the master suite is restful and glamorous: coffered ceiling, plantation shutters, double walk-through robe and a beautifully spacious en-suite featuring the extensive cabinetry and masses of storage which is a real feature throughout the home. Nearby is the theatre room or large home office, and a powder room with striking metallic mosaic tiling. More vast storage is found under the stair, as well as in the large family laundry, and in an additional storeroom accessed from outdoors.
As the home expands to the open-plan space, the resort vibe really comes into its own: seamless flow to an outdoor room, lined with tropical plantings, sheltered for all seasons, and with an outdoor kitchen to make for truly fabulous entertaining. Relax on the built-in lounge under the frangipani and immerse yourself in the heated plunge pool/spa, secluded by a screen of bamboo plantings.
Inside, the pristine white kitchen is vast and finely equipped, including masses of cabinetry, a stack of wall ovens and clever storage in two pull-out pantries. It presides over the living and dining areas, in two zones wrapped around the pool.
Extended family will love the second level: bamboo-floored living room with balcony and kitchenette, three bedrooms, and another glamorous bathroom in charcoal and white. The real surprise is up above, where a ‘lookout’ room would be a fabulous place to work, with slices of ocean and glimpses of the islands, glorious sunsets and watching the storms roll in in winter.
Every detail has been considered to make a home that is both immaculate and beautifully functional, and the perfect match for the privileged coastal location.
