Cottesloe WA 6011

Old Cottesloe, New Possibilities

Arguably the best street in Cottesloe

Magnificent Norfolk Island pines line this beautifully peaceful street located a short stroll to the waters edge. Built almost a hundred years ago in the California bungalow style, a classic home presents its elegantly symmetrical façade to the street. It is ideally situated at the front of the block, north-facing, and with rear access from Doscas Lane. This rare property offers a range of exciting options: embrace the character of the original and create a second storey addition for the views, or design and build a new home in one of the best positions in Perth’s premier beach suburb.

Step up to the deck, which wraps around three sides of the home with indoor-outdoor flow through French doors from the lounge and all three bedrooms to the side verandas. Pairs of original double-hung sash windows frame the front door, opening to a central arched hallway and jarrah floors throughout. Rooms are spacious, with high ceilings and a smaller room is an ideal study or nursery. Beyond the kitchen/dining and bathroom is a jarrah deck looking to the rambling rear gardens, where a brick outbuilding contains the laundry, storeroom and outdoor loo. A white picket fence has gated access to the lane, with paved parking for two cars.

The setting is unequalled: green and serene, with mature trees and abundant birds, and the wonderful bonus of expansive native gardens adjacent, which lead up to one of Cottesloe’s earliest historic homes next door. Walk to the John St Café, Vans, and beachside restaurants, or just stroll down the hill for a swim. This is simply a beautiful spot and offers a rich opportunity to contemplate all the possibilities of bringing new life to 49 John Street.
