4 Chamberlain Street, Cottesloe WA 6011

Love those homes with old Cottesloe charm? Live a short walk to the beach and moments to shops, cafes and conveniences in this gracious character home on a fantastic north-facing corner block that is beautifully elevated with stunning views and ocean glimpses.

Built in 1935, this lovely home stands tall on the corner of Chamberlain and Eric Street, tucked behind limestone walls, peppermint trees and traditional gardens. Beyond the classic cream and white elevation with tin roof are charming, cosy spaces with a warm, welcoming feel.

With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, this is an ideal family home. The house will also delight design lovers who want a property where they can add their own flair, with wonderful bones, a solid build and character features including picture lines, fretwork and painted timber panelling. Lovingly looked after, you could move in tomorrow, begin a renovation or live in the home for a few years while planning your dream home.

A charming entry with leadlight window opens onto light-filled, enclosed wraparound sunrooms, where polished jarrah floors and painted timber panelling give a beautiful country house feel. Use these versatile spaces as a sitting room, a study or home office overlooking the garden, or as a kids play area.

Central is a lovely large family room with original craftsman fretwork flanking the doorway, painted stone fireplace surround, a quaint built-in bookcase and feature ceilings.

A Dutch door connects the family room to a comfortable kitchen and dining. The kitchen has classic white cabinetry with generous storage, appliance cabinets, five burner gas cooktop, plenty of benchtop space and a servery window to the family room. Open the door onto the back garden and relax under the patio. One of the lovely things about the home is its choice of multiple outdoor living spaces. Enjoy long lunches in the front garden while the kids play, relax on the parents retreat balcony or enjoy the sea breezes over a bottle of wine on the spacious main balcony near the kitchen, tucked amidst the peppermint trees.

The upper floor is a fabulous parents retreat as well as the fourth bedroom or ideal nursery. This is a beautiful big, airy space with soaring, panelled ceilings that feels private and tucked away, with enough space for a sitting area. Let in the sea breezes, sit on the balcony and enjoy the views across Cottesloe. There is a bright, north-facing ensuite with corner bath and decent storage and bench space.

The ground floor has two big bedrooms and a study. Two rooms have built-in bookcases, while the largest has a large built-in robe as well as a dressing room with cabinetry. These rooms are serviced by a family bathroom off the entry.

This is an exciting opportunity to acquire a timeless character house in a convenient location. Opposite Eric Street conveniences including medical facilities, pharmacy, hair salon, Cottesloe IGA and Eric Chamberlain coffee shop, the home is also walking distance to Cottesloe Tennis Club, Cottesloe Civic Centre, fantastic playgrounds and the heart of Marine Parade, with restaurants including Indigo Oscar, Il Lido and Longview.
