99 Eric Street, Cottesloe WA 6011

This stylish character home is filled with surprises. Beautifully restored and renovated, it brings together all the best parts of the old and the new, creating a superb residence for modern living. On a large 710sqm block, the backyard paradise is complete with a large swimming pool, covered entertaining areas and plenty of grassy space for swing sets and play equipment, all framed by lush gardens.

It’s an idyllic setting, directly across from North Cottesloe Primary School, and within 1km of PLC, MLC and Christ Church Grammar. The beach, river and Napoleon Street are all at your finger tips.

The home is affectionately known as Hawkesbury House, and the front has been carefully refreshed with absolute respect to its turn-of-the-century origins. Picturesque English-style gardens and a whimsical ocean-themed lead light create a welcoming entry statement. Inside, gorgeous character features include glossy wooden floorboards, picture windows and an ornate fireplace. The family bathroom is renovated in exquisite Federation style, complete with a claw foot bath, while the master bedroom has a luxuriously contemporary ensuite.

Likewise, the rear extension is unashamedly fresh and modern, with a crisp colour scheme, clean architectural lines and free-flowing living areas that spill out to the backyard. The kitchen is the pinnacle of functionality, with a huge island, expanses of deep drawers, a 900mm entertainer’s oven and easy lines of sight to the kids playing outside. There’s also an underground wine cellar and a second living area – perfect for a children’s retreat or inspiring home office, with a beautiful garden view.

This fabulous family home ticks every box – don’t delay in expressing your interest, it will be snapped up.
