75 m from Marine Pde

Designed in stone by local architect Peter Van Rhyn is this super beachside retreat with a high level of detail, giving the home great currency after more than 20 years since its construction. There are two levels of living with a convenient guest bedroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, you have three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a retreat area - but it's the master bedroom with its huge size and balcony overlooking the ocean to the north and west that is a real standout feature. Just to sit on this balcony gives you such a sense of beachside calm that it's worth the effort to get here. Downstairs, you have the entry off the side past a small pond, which leads you to both a private night time area with a large open fireplace and bifold doors opening to the side terrace. To the left, you enter the daytime rooms with a kitchen, living, and dining, all opening through doors to the northern courtyard, which really operates as an all-round living area behind the private fence. The garden beds are spread around the garden with casual seating built in. That makes this a wonderful area for family and friends to commune after a day in the surf. All the courtyard and terrace areas are flagstone paved, which is a beautiful detail that sets off the stone and cedar detailing in the residence. There is a double garage and even space for a small boat or trailer at the rear of the laneway.

At the end of the street, you have direct access to one of the best swimming beaches along the coast, and you are in between the Dutch Inn Surf break and the false reef. For those with dogs, this is an ideal space to live as you and your faithful pet enjoy open access to the beach and the reef area. For lovers of the sea, this is the sort of house you need to experience - very easy maintenance, but one of the most peaceful and restful homes you could possibly desire. You enter into large open friendly living spaces that are so much more than you expect from the street. We look forward to welcoming you to South Cottesloe for true beachside living.
