Designed in the 1950s by acclaimed modernist architect Raymond Jones, this classic beachside bungalow has had the most stylish of reinventions in recent years. The feeling is contemporary and sophisticated, and there’s harmony between the mid-century character and up-to-the-minute luxury.
High quality features set the tone think dark chocolate floors, earthy cabinetry, Caesarstone bench tops, and smoked mirror finishes. When it comes to entertaining, push back the bi-fold doors and allow guests to spill from the living areas and onto an elevated alfresco terrace. Steps lead to the sun deck, salt-water swimming pool and backyard. There’s heaps of room for the kids to play on the grass and the entire area is totally private.
Perfect for accommodating a family and more, the main home contains expansive open plan living, a second lounge room, a 3-bedroom children’s wing with a bathroom, as well as the opulent master suite (featuring a stunning ensuite bathroom, walk-in robe and doors that open to the deck). Although the home is spacious, there’s an intimate atmosphere throughout.
The home is on a generous 815sqm block, which also boasts an additional studio suite with separate entrance. This contains the large fifth bedroom and another ensuite bathroom ideally set-up for relatives, a live-in au pair or even Airbnb. A gym/cellar provides additional space for the families activities.
A short walk from the white sand and sparkling surf of Perth’s most iconic beach, this location allows you to immerse yourself in the ultimate Australian lifestyle. The family-friendly street has no through traffic (local kids safely play on the verges) and shops, cafes, parks, schools and public transport are all within an easy stroll. The north-facing aspect of the home allows the gentle southwestern breeze to circulate throughout the hottest months, providing welcome coolness to the backyard and cross ventilation to the interior.
The appeal is undeniable I have a feeling this one will attract a lot of interest. Express your interest early!
