Soak up sweeping ocean views from this top-quality family home, perched on one of the highest points in Coogee and just a short walk to the beach.
It is on a big block (approx. 974sqm), with fantastic outdoor entertaining spaces, grand proportions and a relaxed Mediterranean design. Boaties will be over the moon, as the two driveways and two double garages provide space for the toys and even a caravan. The main garage, which has direct access to the house, comfortably fits two full-size 4WDs. Down the back, there is also a stainless steel fishermen's bench and sink for cleaning and gutting the day's catch.
On the market for the first time since it was built in 1999, the home was designed with quality top-of-mind and it has been lovingly maintained. There is space and separation for a family, with formal living, formal dining/music room and enormous open plan kitchen/dining/living that flows outside. The layout is extremely versatile - the formal living room could serve as a home office, extra bedroom or home theatre.
In addition, there is a dedicated parents' retreat upstairs, featuring a living space and a large veranda with spectacular sunset views across the ocean to Carnac and Rottnest Islands. The master ensuite is complete with a luxurious spa bath that also catches this million-dollar view. Meanwhile, the children have their own wing downstairs, consisting of three good-sized bedrooms, a bathroom, separate toilet and a powder room.
This home was built to embrace the outdoors and the north facing alfresco area is just the spot to entertain on any scale.
A large, undercover dining space features a large, plumbed gas barbecue and a Croatian-style wood fire for grilling meat and fish to perfection. A second gazebo at the back of the garden offers the children their own place to hang out.
The property's stunning established gardens are all on automatic bore reticulation, and include high-yielding fig and lemon trees and a vegetable patch with various tomatoes, chillies, cucumbers, zucchini, salad onions and culinary herbs. The secret to the soil's fertility - fish bones!
But that's not all! The home also has:
- A 3.5kW solar power system connected to the government's buy-back scheme.
- Reverse-cycle air-conditioning throughout (two zones - living areas and bedrooms).
- Impressive street presence, with a wide verge, formal garden and double door entry, which leads into a grand foyer with double-height ceiling void.
- Big family kitchen with wide granite bench tops, walk-in pantry, five-burner gas cook top, Miele oven.
- Quality throughout - floor-to-ceiling tiles in the bathrooms; extra thick glazing; soaring high ceilings; thick blinds on heat-bearing windows.
- Storage galore - including a storeroom off the garage, linen cupboards lining the hallway, a huge under stair cupboard, generous built-in or walk-in robes to every bedroom.
This is a truly wonderful family home in the midst of a bustling seaside community that is experiencing high-growth. Its location could not be better -adjacent to a large park and playground, a short walk to the beach, the jetty, surf lifesaving club, boat ramp, yacht club and cafes. The area has highly-regarded schools, cycle-ways to Fremantle and beyond and a new boutique shopping centre coming soon to Port Coogee. Act now to secure this slice of paradise!
