5 Lillian Street, Cottesloe WA 6011

All offers invited by 12pm on Tuesday the 26th October 2021 (unless sold prior).

5 Lillian Street (otherwise known as 'The Crest') is located in what the local community call the 'Paris End' of Cottesloe. This enchanting character home is located in a very green and leafy locale, only minutes from the Deane Street beach, parks and the new bike paths.

A spacious north-facing return veranda is the perfect place to sit back and let the sensual sea breezes drift past you. Inside, the front door reveals soaring high ceilings, solid wooden floorboards, decorative ceiling cornices and feature skirting of yesteryear. The large formal front lounge room is reserved for those special occasions with its stunning leadlight windows, a striking ceiling rose and central fan and a feature fireplace built into the wall.

Brilliant in its flexibility is the downstairs master bedroom that is huge in size and has its own fan, along with ample built-in-wardrobe space. Upstairs lies what is a second master, guest wing or fourth bedroom with high angled ceilings, split-system air-conditioning, two skylights, roof storage access and a large deck area with a winding staircase leading down to the backyard it so pleasantly overlooks.

Also on the top level is additional storage, a second bathroom with a skylight, heat lamps, a shower, toilet and vanity. This room opens to a balcony which has vistas of the city skyline. Back on the ground floor, a contemporary main family bathroom with a bathtub, showerhead, toilet, timber storage and a charming vanity services the remaining bedrooms, inclusive of the generous minor with ceiling fans. One of these bedrooms has its own ornamental fireplace, shelving, ceiling rose and space for a study desk, too.

At the end of the hallway and past the laundry, powder room and under-stair storage space, you will find the parquetry jarrah wood floorboards of an open-plan family, dining and kitchen area where split-system air-conditioning and custom book shelving and media storage meet double sinks, a powered appliance nook, a stainless-steel Qasair range hood, a Smeg five-burner gas cooktop/oven and a stainless-steel Asko dishwasher. Bi-fold doors off here extend out to a private backyard with heaps of room for outdoor entertaining, inspired by a rustic and Mediterranean-style paved courtyard beside a trickling mood-setting water feature and pond.

The home is walking distance to the beautiful South Cottesloe Beach, Harvey Field 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. There is nowhere else you would rather be!
