Rare Hilltop Sanctuary
Perched high on one of Cottesloe's most elevated positions, Clarendon Hill is a private residence of rare scale and timeless charm. Held by one family for 47 years, this landmark property offers sweeping outlooks to the ocean and hinterland, generous proportions throughout, and a sense of seclusion that is almost impossible to find in this tightly-held suburb.
From the original verandah and parquetry-lined entry foyer to the soaring ceilings and oversized living spaces, the home embodies an era of craftsmanship and permanence. Formal living and dining rooms sit proudly on either side of the entry, while a vast kitchen, family, and meals area opens north-west to sun-filled gardens designed for entertaining beneath the shade of a magnificent date palm. Upstairs, the children's wing offers expansive bedrooms and an attic rumpus - the perfect retreat for growing families.
Lifestyle Without Compromise
The 774 m² block - well above the local average - enhances the sense of openness, with rolling green verges and a leafy coastal garden creating a natural playground. Multiple garages, workshops and storage zones cater for modern living, while the sense of arrival is unmistakable - a true family estate in the heart of Perth's most coveted coastal suburb.
A Coveted Cottesloe Location
Step down the hill to Broome Street and stroll through Grant Marine Park to North Cottesloe Beach. Wander to the tennis courts, Seaview Golf Club, village cafés, boutiques, and the ever-popular Daisies. With excellent schools and train access close at hand, this is a location where every generation thrives.
