181 Broome Street, Cottesloe WA 6011

Architect Designed Mid-Century Masterpiece

Showcasing the bold, clean geometric lines and simple functionality favoured by the Bauhaus movement, this unique Broome Street residence offers an incredible lifestyle in this iconic coastal suburb. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom, double-storey, 1950's era residence was designed by prominent Perth architect Van Mens as his family home, with only one other owner since.

Sprawled across multiple levels, you'll find classic hallmarks, including red internal face-brick, soaring ceilings with exposed Californian Oregon beams, original steel window frames and extensive use of solid timber. The home's upper level is crafted from West Australian Wandoo panelling, the floating staircase is Jarrah, with quarry tile flooring throughout the ground level.

In the front lounge room, the oversized fireplace boasts an impressive hammered copper hood with cast iron grate, industrial materials often incorporated into the designs of the post-war era. Also at street level, the spacious dining area opens out via French timber doors to the sunny North-facing courtyard, framed by lushly planted gardens. The functional kitchen includes quality European appliances and a walk-through scullery with timber cabinetry, and a convenient servery window to the meals area.

The lower level features two generous bedrooms, including the main bedroom that has lovely parquetry flooring and benefits from the glorious morning sun. The bathroom includes an oversized shower and a separate WC. Ascend the floating Jarrah staircase to the upper mezzanine-style level, where you'll find two further bedrooms, one of which overlooks the vast void to the family room below. They also share the second bathroom, which is fully tiled and has a shower over the bathtub, a WC and a skylight.

A quaint studio with a kitchenette at the rear of the property is perfect for guest accommodation, a teenage retreat or potting shed for a gardening enthusiast. There's a single lock-up garage and additional off-street parking accessible via the rear laneway, where you can take a handy shortcut through Grant Marine Park on your way to your morning ocean dip. Fully reticulated, the drought-tolerant gardens are ideal for the coastal location and include succulents, bamboo, yucca, agave, geranium and an established lemon tree. The side courtyard features a charming timber arbour draped in grapevine.

Moments from the shores of Cottesloe Beach and popular bars and cafes along Marine Parade, properties along this iconic Norfolk Island pine-lined street have desirable deep setbacks. Stroll to Daisies Cafe, Grant Street Station, Cottesloe Tennis Club and the OBH to take advantage of our stunning Indian Ocean sunsets. Shop nearby at the Claremont Quarter, Cottesloe Central and The Boatshed Market, and enjoy proximity to some of Perth's most exclusive schools.
