Its hard to imagine a more spectacular position to enjoy the sun setting on the final hours of the day than from the elevated outdoor entertaining area at 52 Peppermint Grove Terrace, Peppermint Grove.
Vegetated sand dunes frame a mass expanse of sparkling blue ocean and the best part is the view can be equally admired from outdoors or in.
This really is a rare piece of earth with a pedestrian access to Peppermint Grove beach positioned directly across the road.
Located just south of Bunbury, near Capel, Peppermint Grove is a seaside village with the relaxed and casual atmosphere of a holiday park.
It is hard to believe it would be possible to enjoy this kind of harmony and seclusion at home when the cosmopolitan city of Bunbury and probably you place of work as well is just a short and easy drive away.
And what’s particularly special about the home at 52 Peppermint Grove Terrace is that it has been perfectly and uniquely designed to take full advantage of its magical views.
The current owners lived in an older house on the block for some 20 years before clearing it to make way for something more modern.
Having spent so much time there already, they knew exactly how the sun hit the property all year round and what design aspects would best capture the dramatic outlook.
The result is a neatly-constructed four bedroom steel frame home with lots of windows allowing the ocean views to flood inside, but clever inclusions to keep the sun our, ensuring comfortable temperatures evening the summer months.
It’s finished in modern blue steel wall cladding and a matching roof, creating a more rustic holiday home feel that lacks none of the everyday comfort factor.

The front door is found here and opens to a formal entry passage which draws you ere straight through to the open living area and that unforgettable water view.
Terracotta tiles have been used on the floor while here and throughout the home, beautiful ocean-inspired hues adorn the walls for a fresh effect.
