On one of Cottesloe's best streets is where you will find this immaculate 3 bedroom 2 bathroom two-storey home with a rustic façade, a commanding presence and a fantastic sense of space and flow that everybody will absolutely love, less than a 500m walk away from Grant Street Beach/Grant Marine Park and just a leisurely stroll a little further north up to Swanbourne and great food at The Shorehouse.
A gated front yard makes an instant first impression as a lovely sunlit area where you can sit and relax, amidst low-maintenance gardens and preceding a double security-door entrance into the house. Gleaming Blackbutt floorboards warm most of the interior here, whilst a massive carpeted front study or home office doubles as a potential formal lounge, media room or even a versatile fourth-bedroom option that allows your guests to wake up to a splendid garden aspect.
Only inches away lies a huge wine cellar with custom built-in racking for bottles and split-system air-conditioning for climate control so your favourite drop can be enjoyed at the perfect temperature. Moving through a terrific floor plan past a fully-tiled powder room, double doors reveal an enormous king-sized master-bedroom suite with a ceiling fan, electric security roller shutters for peace of mind, gorgeous double French doors that lead to the rear of the property, an extravagant walk-in dressing room-come-wardrobe with ample storage space and a sumptuous fully-tiled ensuite bathroom - bubbling spa bath, double shower, twin granite vanities, heated towel rack and separate toilet (also with floor-to-ceiling tiling).
Soaring high ceilings grace an expansive open-plan family and dining area - with a gas log fireplace - that is stunningly overlooked by a huge kitchen and its sparkling granite bench tops, double sinks, water-filter tap, appliance nook, island bench with sink and breakfast bar, large walk-in pantry, integrated double-drawer dishwasher, integrated LG microwave, Miele oven, a steam oven of the same brand and contemporary Kleenmaid induction cooktop and range-hood appliances. Double French doors off here seamlessly extend entertaining out to a fabulous cedar-lined alfresco-entertaining area at the rear, as well as a shimmering below-ground salt-water swimming pool. On one side of the pool, a spectacular cedar-lined "pavilion-like" poolside cabana with built-in seating and storage provides extra summer shade and privacy, as does the magnificent gazebo directly opposite.
Upstairs, sensual sea breezes from the front balcony are complemented by a separate fully-tiled powder room and a fully-tiled main family bathroom, comprising of a shower, separate bathtub, heat lamps, twin granite vanities and semi-ensuite access through to a huge and carpeted second bedroom with a ceiling fan and fitted walk-in robe. Completing this exceptional coastal package is a spacious carpeted third bedroom with its own fan and two sets of built-in double robes. There is no such thing as not enough storage under this roof.
The Grant Marine Park, Daisies, Grant Street Train Station, the local IGA Eric Street supermarket and the lush Allen Park fields are all nearby and within arm's reach, as are the likes of Cottesloe Beach, the iconic North Street store and Kirkwood Deli, North Cottesloe Primary School, shopping at Cottesloe Central and the vibrant Claremont Quarter precinct, other highly-regarded schools, our picturesque Swan River, Fremantle and everything in between. There really is no other location quite like it!
