GLORIOUS FAMILY RESORT WITH POOL
DISCOVER YOUR NEW HOME…
One of the best and most elevated sites on the South City Beach Waterfront...Oceanside of Branksome with your own private gate onto the dunes. Situated such that you enjoy supreme privacy from your north and south neighbours whilst still taking in an uninterrupted sweeping ocean view of the South City Beach coastline.
This big family home is designed to embrace ocean views, capture northern sun, create fantastic lifestyle separation and protection from the elements. It's a good one!
Large walled privacy gates greet you on entry and provide sanctuary from the world outside. Within, a cedar-lined undercover walk way guides you to the formal entry via an internal piazza of secret gardens, alfresco dining and lounging areas & pool, which all enjoy a Bold Park bushland/sunrise aspect and are useable all year round due to being in the lee of the prevailing weather.
Inside, two storey ceilings open up to dramatic heights. 6m walls of glass open or overlook private terraces on both levels flooding the central living spaces with warm, natural light. A kitchen/meals/lounge at the home's western end, has a traditional central marble fireplace and flows effortlessly onto oceanview verandas, lawns and the coastal dune/park network beyond.
The daily and seasonal moods of the Indian Ocean are every present throughout the home.
A fourth living space and guest suite open east onto the pool terrace completing the ground level.
Upstairs a master suite, en-suite and parents retreat open to a huge first floor ocean view entertaining balcony to the west and also east onto a north facing roof top terrace and garden which is a warm winter suntrap. A kitchenette/bar concealed behind built in cabinetry and is a fantastic spot for entertaining with friends, pre-dinner drinks, or a leisurely Sunday morning coffee with the paper.
The kids' bedrooms are at the other end of the home, providing wonderful family separation. All are generous, have high ceilings, private doors onto first floor balconies/ terraces and pool piazza views in the foreground which give way to Bold Park and sunrise views beyond.
High quality, natural materials throughout such a Canadian red cedar, American oak, travertine, marble and granite bench tops in wonderful earthy tones, provide a rich, warm home that is a timeless classic - a family estate that will provide the most pleasurable of lifestyles for you right now, and also for generations to come.
Features 5 bedrooms, four living areas, cellar, triple garage, pool and myriad alfresco ocean view balconies, pool decks and even a rooftop sundeck.
EXPERIENCE THE LIFESTYLE YOU WILL LIVE HERE…
City Beach is the closest beachfront to the heart of Perth City. So central, yet so spacious and private, it is cocooned against its vast 5Km long shoreline - the longest of any beachfront suburb in the Perth - by the wide green expanses of Bold Park bush reserve, The Wembley Golf Course, The Cottesloe Golf Course and the Swanbourne Army Reserve.
Of the total 2200 within City Beach , only around 250 (roughly 10%), are on the oceanside of West Coast Hwy in the highly sought after of hamlet South City Beach, mere footsteps to the spectacular City Beach Waterfront cafe strip...The Hamptons, Odyssea, Clancys et al. overlooking the iconic and timeless beachfront architecture of the City Beach Surf Club, City Beach Groyne, Groyne Tower, and the iconic South City Kiosk by Tony Brand. Our suburb's best lifestyle location where you and the kids can swim in patrolled areas, surf at the groyne where the best sandbanks are, grab a meal or a drink at a moment's notice - all only footsteps away.
Along the waterfront in "South City" there are a limited 28 homes on the oceanside of Branksome Gardens - front row properties with gates opening onto a network of oceanfront parks and coastal dune systems. The most sought after 28 homes in the suburb.
Of these, 46 Branksome is one of the largest landholdings on one of the highest hilltops. Blessed with deep valleys in the natural dune systems opposite providing unimpeded ground floor views to Rotto which are not necessarily available from all the homes on The Strip - this is a once in a lifetime beauty! A rare view to the iconic City Beach Groyne Tower anchors your outlook to this famous stretch of beachfront and provides a real grounding and sense of place to your aspect.
A sense of place. A sense of home. An appreciation of good fortune. Living here is a rich and raw oceanside experience of peace, remoteness and wilderness that is multi-sensory and hard to describe… The aroma of the dune vegetation. The audible roar of the ocean and the crashing waves on the shoreline. The vivid visual allure of the sea at dawn and dusk, sunrise, and sunset. The visual kaleidoscopic burst of colour in the dunes at springtime with the golden acacias and dune flowers in bloom. The familiar feel of the beach sand squeaking under bare feet on the way to your morning swim. The wholistic rejuvenation of immersing yourself in the therapeutic waters of the Indian Ocean daily. The permanent sense that you have provided your kids an experience to grow up amongst which enriches their development in intangible way that you could have never predicted. The sense of parental pride and accomplishment this brings.
Does or could life get any better?
Personally, I'm not sure it could.
Experience the next couple of decades here and you won't regret it, forming wonderful family memories that will shape the back catalogue of your life. Coastal living in Perth City doesn't get much better.
Life is good here...Welcome to the South City Beach Waterfront
