Resort elegance, coastal seclusion

A brilliant series of indoor-outdoor spaces open up for entertaining and relaxation in a serene and elegant home with the ocean and the South Freo streetlife a walk away. Secluded behind a screen of colourful tropical plantings, this luxurious home unfolds over several levels, including a resort-style master suite opening to its own outdoor room, and a superb kitchen with a grand marble island. The atmosphere is quiet and secluded, but the inside-outside feeling welcomes the coastal breezes in this prestigious enclave by the beach.

Take the stone steps to the entry deck, and inside, parquetry-tiled floors add texture and warmth to the open-plan space. With an timber-decked outdoor room to the south and the barbecue area and pizza oven on the northern deck, this is made for entertaining. At the centre is a very finely-equipped kitchen, lavishly designed with masses of clever storage in traditional white cabinetry and a magnificent Falcon range. A large powder room is nearby, and beyond the laundry is the over-sized double garage below, accessed from Maret Lane at the rear.

Upstairs, the master suite is very spacious, with walk-in-robes, fine en-suite, and flowing to its own semi-enclosed outdoor retreat surrounded by plantation shutters. Also on this level is another lovely bathroom in tones of timber and charcoal, and a bedroom which could also serve as an office or nursery. There’s more on the level above – a very large loft bedroom with high triangular windows and extensive storage.

It is all very beautiful and wonderfully functional, in this desirable beachside neighbourhood, where you can walk through Barrow Park to South Beach for a coffee and a swim, and come home to peace, quiet, and luxury.
