Ripster

Margaret Street is a short street, nestled into the first hollow behind the first sand dunes of North Cottesloe Beach.

For the quintessential Cottesloe life - sand, surf and sun (not to mention cappucino, Eggs florentine and Mango smoothie); (or boardies, bikinis and Havanahs) this is the place to be. A short walk to the beach and surf club - close enough to carry your waveski, close to Daisy's cafe - who make the ultimate muffin (white chocolate and rasberry), and close to all the action when you want it.

For beach front pubs, restaurants, cafes and the regular Sunday session Cottesloe is the spot. It can occassionally seem a bit crowded and busy, but living in a street like Margaret Street you can escape the bustle just as Harry Potter escapes the Muggle world by jumping onto platform nine and three quaters!

The small relaxed and pleasantly worn houses are making way for larger, more modern places that make the most of the views, but Margaret Street is managing to retain its character. The relaxed and fun atmosphere is unlikley to ever change.

Enjoy!

Beautiful tree lined, with 2 parks on the street. These are Masons Gardens complete with long necked turtles in the pond and the Rose Gardens complete with Roses and swings - what more could you ask for.

Accessibility is the great advantage. Easy to get to city, river, ocean, shopping and eating districts.

The street can be a bit busy but I've lived there for 15 years and never found it a problem. The houses are nicely set back and noise really isn't an issue.

Cycling distance to schools - and no major streets to cross. Walk to the shops for a coffee or paper. Walk to the closest bus stop.

Golf club, football oval, cricket nets, bike shops, restaurants, shops, all within 1km.

A great spot to live, and a bit more affordable than the very similar but slightly quieter streets nearby.

We think this is the ideal location. Close to work for those in the city, close enough to cycle to the ocean and walk to the river.
It is only a few hundred metres to the beautiful Swan River where playgrounds abound, the kids can ride their bikes, we can paddle the kayaks, have BBQs and enjoy the sunny outdoor Perth lifestyle. Fantastic schools nearby, the University of Western Australia on our doorstep, and Restaurants and Entertainment not too far away.
The big plots on Browne Ave mean there is room for our youngsters to run around in the garden, kick the footy, have a small vegetable patch and a few fruit trees; I've even got my own big back yard shed! Others have pools, tennis courts and there are many beautifully manicured gardens and fantastic homes along the street.
So an absolutely lovely neighbourhood that suits us perfectly.
