I don’t think this ad has a pic of the front of the home, just the gate –
nice gate tho!

Inside this home is an eclectic mix of traditional, provincial and contemporary furnishings and fixtures… Exactly how I like a home to be!


Internal sandstone walls, not often seen, beautiful.



The formal living room is quite feminine to me!
Soft sheers on the window make this room very elegant.

The casual living has simple styling…


I think the kitchen in this home is a “wow” kitchen…
I love the cabinet design.


From all angles, I think the kitchen is a winner…



Because there was no floorplan with this gorgeous home ad, I have to assume this aspect of the large home is the rear aspect, not the front…



The outdoor living in this home is clearly well planned…
just beautiful!




And why not finish up the tour with the good old fashioned grass tennis court!

AND what did the Agent say?

A SUPERB LIMESTONE MANSION IN THE HEART OF COTTESLOE

Features:

  • Inground Pool
The concept for this house was originally discussed in France over a delicious bottle of red around ten years ago, but it would be hard to imagine a home more suited to the Australian lifestyle than this elegant Cottesloe property.

Today, the home is a testament to the imagination and creativity of the owners and their architect, Tim Wright, and that day in France is commemorated by the graceful stone staircase leading to the tennis court – inspired by the label on the wine bottle that is now a treasured souvenir.

Well within the ocean precinct, and occupying a terraced 1416 sq.m. block in a tranquil, protected location, the imposing limestone home is on three levels with a Championship size tennis court on the lower level behind the house.

The interior is light and very versatile, with the spacious rooms on the ground floor flowing smoothly into each other and bi-fold glass doors opening up to create larger spaces when required.

The gleaming white galley style kitchen is at the heart of the home. Craftsman built and superbly fitted and equipped, this is the perfect setting for the production of great food while always being at the centre of family activities.

The placement of a living room with a north-facing aspect was a master stroke. This room has a wall of glass that opens onto a spacious loggia with a stone fireplace – creating a very special area for alfresco living and entertaining even in winter.

On the upper level, a wide stone terrace overlooks the fully marked and lit tennis court and provides a view of the surrounding area including the famous Norfolk Island pines that dominate the Cottesloe skyline. There is also a small kitchen on this level to cater for those watching tennis or just relaxing and enjoying the outlook.

The striking symmetry of this beautiful home fits perfectly into the landscaped grounds, creating the ideal environment for a family that enjoys entertaining and a relaxed lifestyle in magnificent surroundings.

WOWEE

    Wow! I wouldn't even know what to do with myself in such a grand place! I do love that gate though – I may just be partial to the star on it though. 🙂
