18 Lyons Street, Cottesloe WA 6011

Nestled in serene and sought-after North Cottesloe just minutes to Grant Street beach, this picturesque white weatherboard cottage is a charming haven that exemplifies effortless coastal living. And it’s ready for you!

A sprawling 721sqm allotment with a 1950s bungalow provided a perfect canvas for the owner’s masterful vision of a dreamy, modern beach-house with bright and spacious rooms that flow seamlessly from the indoors out.

With open verandas and manicured gardens, this home is an haven of blissful interior living with sunny open spaces that consider the needs of growing family life and easeful entertaining.

Fresh white walls, solid Victorian Ash timber floors, high ceilings, designer bathrooms and a tropical-style alfresco overlook a resort-style swimming pool, bringing seaside holiday vibes to every aspect of this custom-appointed home.

Excellent spatial separation begins from the front of the property, where a generous wide entry leads through french doors to a lovely sitting room alongside a private wing for two secondary bedrooms, separated by a luxury bathroom styled in travertine tiles and a bespoke free-standing tub.

The allure of vast open plan living is intentionally seen from the wide entranceway, where sliding doors offer glimpses to Cottesloe’s iconic Norfolk pines that flank the gardens and alfresco beyond.

Flooded with natural light, the open plan living kitchen and dining areas make for easy family living and entertaining. Anchored by a generous island bench the kitchen is awash in natural light and reams of classic white cabinetry, subway tiles & charming rattan pendant lights. Inclusive of European appliances, the kitchen melds into several alternatives for dining and entertaining – casual style from the vast island bench, more formal from the dining area or transition into the outdoors.

Large commercial grade double-glazed doors open effortlessly to a huge decked alfresco area with outdoor kitchen (inclusive of built-in Weber BBQ, wine fridge & Miele oven). Enjoy relaxing or entertaining on the back deck while the kids play in the heated salt-water pool surrounded by reticulated landscaped gardens and lawns.

Sharing sparkling pool and garden views, the luxury master-suite has a resort-style mood all its own. A generous walk-in-robe, sumptuous double vanity ensuite, travertine floors and huge walk-in frameless shower with rain shower head complement a pretty window seat (with storage), additional built-in storage and white plantation shutters.

The fourth bedroom is the perfect guest retreat with an adjoining bathroom, doubling as a powder room.

A large galley-style laundry with ample built in storage with courtyard and rear garage access completes the balanced floorplan of this highly functional home.

Other features include north-facing travertine terrace, expansive lawn areas (front and rear), fully reticulated gardens, quality double-glazed windows, ultra-quiet “Haiku Big-Ass” fans to all bedrooms & large built-in robes in secondary bedrooms, a generous two car carport, plus an extra automatic single garage (with rear access), loads of (recycled) brick paved off-street parking, plantation shutters and ducted (zoned) reverse-cycle air-conditioning throughout.

Walking distance to everything Cottesloe has to offer including the beach, North Cott Surf Lifesaving Club, a host of cafes, restaurants & bars and shops (Daisies, Eric Chamberlain, IGA, The Shorehouse amongst many others) and easy access to North Cottesloe Primary, private schools and transport, this is effortless seaside living in one of Cottesloe’s most family friendly streets.
