288 Marmion Street, Cottesloe WA 6011

Stroll home from the beach to this character three-bedroom home offering endless scope and space on one of Cottesloe's most desirable streets.

Situated on a substantial 589sqm allotment with a rear ROW and a dreamy street front vista of wide verges and mature Norfolk Pines, this is a rare walk-everywhere offering in a spectacular lifestyle location.

Built in 1938, this solid brick and tile residence is graced with charming period features including high ceilings, wide jarrah floorboards, an original fireplace and a selection of lovely timber windows.

It is presented in liveable condition with an impressive wide entry hall, three large bedrooms, a skylit, air-conditioned formal lounge and a central bathroom with a large tub and overhead shower.

The bright and sunny eat-in kitchen is a loving ode to retro style and is welcoming and nostalgic with its white painted timber cabinetry, jarrah floorboards and joyful wallpaper sporting colour and pattern.

It leads to an expansive sleepout at the rear which incorporates a separate WC, a handy second shower and a laundry area.

The large backyard has plenty of northern exposure, is relatively flat and has rear laneway access for vehicles making it a dream new home site.

There is also ample shedding, a rear carport and a generously proportioned outhouse which would work well as a separate home office, powered workshop or an extra activity/TV room.

Largely untouched for many years, the coming-to-market of this quaint property is a noteworthy occasion given it has been in the hands of the one family for decades and is perfectly positioned at the northern end of Marmion Street just a short stroll to Daisies and only 700m from one of Perth's best beaches.

North Cottesloe Primary School and some of the top secondary schools in WA are within walking distance along with Grant Street train station, waterfront restaurants such as The Shorehouse, plus golf, tennis and surf clubs.

In comfortable enough condition to rent out while considering the many options, this coastal gem offers the perfect blank canvas to work your magic on.

While it will instantly appeal to families looking for their dream home site, it is not beyond the scope of DIY enthusiasts looking for a renovation project to add value to a large landholding in one of Perth's most picturesque and exclusive suburbs.
