18 North Street, Cottesloe WA 6011

Perfectly tailored for family life on the coast, this charming 4 bedroom 2 bathroom single-level home on a spacious corner block combines timeless character with a fresh, modern twist.

This beautifully-renovated and cleverly-extended residence also blends original nostalgia with contemporary comfort, creating a warm and inviting space for everyone. Gorgeous gardens grace a securely-gated front yard with lawn and heaps of room for a future swimming pool - if you are that way inclined - all overlooked by a delightful north-facing entry verandah.

Inside, gleaming original wooden jarrah floorboards warm the front part of the house., soaring 3 metre ceilings throughout help preserve the residence's classic nostalgia of yesteryear. Benefitting from a lovely northern aspect is the spacious front master-bedroom suite which features a ceiling fan, split-system air-conditioning, front-yard views and folding doors that reveal a "his and hers" walk-through wardrobe and connecting ensuite bathroom, boasting a shower, vanity, under-bench storage and access into the two-way powder room.

Nearby double doors flow into a huge formal lounge room, reserved for those special occasions, and comprising of an open wood fireplace, an original wall mirror and another split-system air-conditioning unit for climate control. Bi-fold doors off this room lead out to an enclosed indoor-outdoor alfresco with custom pavers and lots of space for year-round entertaining. This area also offers direct access out to the backyard and carport.

Back inside, a feature barn slider shuts off the massive open-plan family, dining and kitchen area, where most of your casual time will be spent. There, split-system air-conditioning, polished concrete floors and stylish pendant light fittings all complement an immaculately renovated culinary hub that features sparkling stone bench tops, an island breakfast bar, double sinks, subway-tile splashbacks, a large walk-in pantry, a Miele Induction cooktop, quality Miele double ovens (including a steam/conventional combination oven) and integrated fridge, range-hood and dishwasher appliances of the same brand. Separate sets of double doors connect the main living zone to both the alfresco and a shaded rear pergola area, for further entertaining.

Polished concrete floors dominate the other sleeping quarters, with a barn slider shutting off the spare bedrooms from everything else. Enormous second, third and fourth bedrooms are all of the queen-size variety and have ceiling fans and fitted built-in robes. The second bedroom even has a split-system air-conditioner.

A fully tiled and revamped main family bathroom features a walk-in shower, a separate bathtub and heat lamps. A separate toilet and separate powder vanity complete the area.
The study has new built in cupboards and could double as a fifth bedroom. The laundry is positioned off the kitchen and has ample storage options, as well as enjoying external/side access for drying.

Just moments from the surf and sand at Swanbourne, and Cottesloe, this is the kind of place where beach days turn into cosy nights, and where classic quality meets the practicalities of everyday living. The Transperth bus service stops a few metres away from the home. The Grant Street Train Station and various cafes, eateries and shops are within easy walking distance. Various parks, including sprawling Allen Park, with its fantastic community sporting facilities, is only walking distance away. Many highly regarded schools are also accessible within a matter of minutes.

This one is more than just a home - it's a family's dream playground near the sea and all things coastal, ready to be loved for generations to come!
