The perfect blend of century-old charm and modern elegance pervades this gorgeous 4 bedroom 2 bathroom character home on a commanding corner block in Cottesloe, doubling as the ideal property for those seeking to live close to the beach with their young family - footsteps away, in fact.
Separate gated entrances reveal access to the residence's front and back yards, adding an extra sense of security and overall peace of mind to a relaxed lifestyle. Brand-new lawn has been laid out front, overlooked by a large wraparound entry deck with feature leadlight panelling.
Internally, soaring high ceilings, solid wooden Jarrah floorboards, picture rails, decorative ceiling cornices and tall feature skirting boards help preserve the home's original nostalgia of yesteryear, with a spacious and versatile fourth bedroom the wildcard in the floor plan - also working well as either a study, second lounge room or a play room for the kids, complete with a feature fireplace and a striking ceiling rose.
The second bedroom is also generous in its proportions and has a ceiling fan and floor-to-wall-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes and storage cupboards, whilst a huge front third bedroom plays host to its own ceiling rose and fireplace. The master bedroom is massive in size and boasts standalone robes, a stunning fireplace, a gas bayonet for extra heating and an attractive ceiling rose in the centre of the room.
A stylish fully-tiled main bathroom comprises of feature subway tiles, a bathtub, showerhead, toilet, vanity and under-bench storage cupboards, having been cleverly revamped over time. The hub of the layout is a commodious open-plan family, dining and kitchen area, where most of your casual time will be spent. Here, leadlight windows, electric blinds and stylish light fittings are complemented by sparkling stone bench tops, glass splashbacks, double sinks, a water-filter tap, an integrated range hood, an integrated dishwasher and a stainless-steel Ilve five-burner gas-cooktop and oven combination.
Making the most of both the wall and floor space on offer is a combined second bathroom-come-laundry with a shower, toilet, wash trough and ample storage cupboards. Double doors from the family room seamlessly extend entertaining out to a delightful patio and pergola area at the rear, pleasantly overlooking a paved firepit courtyard and the most flourishing of lemon trees. The lovely backyard is also home to a remote-controlled double lock-up carport - with a hidden sauna and storage options - and a lock-up garden shed for good measure.
An opportunity to live in Cottesloe's sought-after "Paris" end awaits you here, only walking distance from beautiful South Cottesloe Beach, the sprawling Cottesloe Oval and the Sea View Golf Club. Bus stops, the Cottesloe and Mosman Park Train Stations, cafes, restaurants, shopping and both public and private schools are all nearby and within arm's reach, too. This is where your family's new chapter begins - and where many happy memories are destined to be made!
