Offered for the first time in 40 years, this Federation era home built in 1908, is a rare opportunity for lovers of character homes to own one of the most iconic residences of the sought after South Cottesloe precinct.

With its unrivalled street appeal, oversized verandas and soaring ceilings, this exquisite property bears all the iconic charm of the Federation era, and so much more.

Elegant and spacious with a real sense of history, this stately residence is also a warm and welcoming family home that celebrates its heritage with a nod to the demands of modern family life.

From first sight you are wowed by its remarkable stately presence, with north facing vista looking out onto mature, windswept trees, and the incredible close proximity to the stunning Indian Ocean.

As you enter the home, you are struck by the well-preserved character features of yesteryear - soaring high ceilings, ornate ceiling rose and cornices, original sash windows, and stunning leadlight flourishes. Modern features such as ducted, evaporative air conditioning in the living space and upstairs, as well as plantation shutters afford modern convenience and comfort.

At the front of the home, a formal lounge with original fireplace which has been converted to modern gas for ease and comfort, and to the right a large bedroom. Continuing down the hall, a second large bedroom/ study with built in robes and original picture rails.

As you continue on, the home opens out into the second large living space with sweeping garden views. This large family area was added in 1992 under the guidance of renowned federation architect Carolyn Marshall, beautifully in keeping with its original era.

The backyard is wide and open, punctuated by a vista of greenery and towering mature trees, as well as a family-sized swimming pool and limestone accents.
A lock up garage with space for two cars can be entered from the right of way, via an electric door.

Back inside, an open plan kitchen with marble bench tops overlooks the living space and through to the elegant garden. Beside the kitchen is a side entry which serves as a second, practical entrance when returning from the beach with sandy feet, or bringing groceries straight through to your kitchen bench.

Also downstairs, an oversized laundry and bathroom, with separate guest toilet and side door that opens directly out to a clothesline, for practical ease.
Up carpeted stairs is an impressive main bedroom with double French doors, which open out on to the large balcony, a perfect spot to sit and enjoy the cool breeze on a warm summer's day.

Also upstairs are two well sized carpeted bedrooms, perfect for children or guests. A large family sized bathroom complements the upstairs layout.

At once elegant and stately, and warm and welcoming, it could be argued that the real luxury of this home is its versatility. It affords boundless options for a small or large family to create the lifestyle that meets their unique needs and truly make it their own.

This is your chance to live the dream Cottesloe lifestyle, in one of the most prestigious streets in this coveted locale. A truly superb location, only a few minutes' walk to the beach, close to leafy parklands, ovals, Seaview Golf Course and nearby to trendy Napoleon Street. Excellent schools are all within a stone's throw, yet the home feels secluded and tranquil.

This is everything you could truly imagine and more! This rare beauty represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It won't be on the market for long.
