36 Orsino Boulevard, North Coogee WA 6163

Atop a limestone wall above the street is just the place to be when you are looking straight out to the Indian Ocean. Elegant architectural angles and detailed feature stone mark the exterior as something special, and inside is a family home that is all about flexibility, generous space, natural light, and the view. A series of outdoor spaces for different seasons, two kitchens, brilliant upstairs terrace, and a thoughtful layout all mean that this home can enfold your family in the way that suits you best. And the location couldn’t be better: stroll to the beach in just a few minutes and snorkel on the Omeo wreck, take the kids to the wonderfully creative park two doors down, dine at Coogee Common close by, or head over to the marina and take the boat out.

The unusual timber and glass front door is an example of the bespoke approach to designing and building this home, and inside you can experience how that really works. Floors are gleaming blackbutt, and an expanse of northern e-glass welcomes the light. A multi-purpose room with its own kitchen opens to the oceanside lower terrace, and also leads to the protected inner courtyard to the north, with waterfall and daybed. There are three bedrooms on this level: one facing the ocean, one opening to the northern courtyard, and another leading to its own private sitting space to the south. Bathrooms are simply luxurious with neutral finishes in coastal tones; dual access powder rooms are convenient for guests, and there is absolutely masses of storage.

Up the open timber stair, the ocean and island vista unfolds even more from the spectacular open-plan living, where guests can spill out to the terrace, enjoy pizza straight out of the oven and admire the view. Inside, the kitchen is really something: masses of cabinetry, stone waterfall island (with an extra sink perfect as an ice-bucket) and an extensive suite of appliances including integrated coffee machine. The master bedroom, with spa en-suite, is also on this upper level, and that separation from the other bedrooms and second kitchen downstairs gives the home great flexibility. The double garage is accessed from Minstrel Lane, with an additional gated area for parking boat, trailer or vehicle, or as another courtyard complete with outdoor shower for sandy feet after a swim.

Swimming, cycling, fishing, walking, boating, entertaining … summer beckons, and this luxurious coastal home is just the place to make the most of it.
