6 Challenger Rise, Coogee WA 6166

Family homestead on the hill

Rising up from the coast above Woodman Point, a quiet cul-de-sac is the perfect place for a family to spread out in a generous two-storey homestead with pool, games room, bar and vast alfresco entertaining areas. Opening to verandas on both levels, you can make the most of the airy elevation, with ocean glimpses from the upstairs terrace to remind you how close you are to the beach.

The jarrah-floored entry lobby leads to living and dining on a grand scale, warmed by a gas log fire. Surrounded by windows to the veranda, the dining flows to an enormous kitchen, recently renovated with engineered stone tops, butlers sinks, shaker-style cabinetry and a handy study nook. Beyond is a second living area or games room, complete with built-in-bar, opening to a huge alfresco. Step up to the pool area, set high above the landscape and a fabulous place for entertaining the crowd, with an expanse of paved areas and a separate spa. Also on ground level is a powder room, and the family laundry, elegantly renovated with the same quality finishes found in the kitchen.

Upstairs, the inside-out feeling continues, with two of the four bedrooms opening to the balcony, enjoying long treetop views and glimpses of the ocean beyond. All bedrooms have built-in-robes, there’s a corner spa in the family bathroom, and an en-suite to the north-facing master bedroom.

This is a welcoming neighbourhood in a cul-de-sac where the kids can play, walking distance to Coogee Primary and a three-minute drive to the beach. And this is a home with all the space and just the right layout to be family central up on the hill.
