Imagine living in one of Perth’s most beautiful and tightly held coastal enclaves, where the beach is at the end of your street, the magnificent wilderness of Bold Park is your backyard playground, and every day feels just a little bit like a holiday.

Now imagine doing it from one of the last remaining mid-century homes in South City Beach, exquisitely renovated in a sophisticated style sympathetic to its architectural pedigree, high on the hill amongst the treetops, with natural light flooding through its soaring walls of glass.

Welcome to 11 Callington Avenue.

There are only around 250 homes nestled in the dunes of South City Beach. Cradled against the Indian Ocean shoreline by the natural greenbelt of Bold Park, Cottesloe Golf Club, Swanbourne Army Reserve and the iconic City Beach Ovals, this is one of Perth’s rarest residential neighbourhoods. A secluded seaside village, almost hidden from the wider world, yet remarkably close to the heart of Perth City.

Somehow, it still feels like a little pocket of the world that time forgot.

Here, the streets are quiet, the gardens established, the houses individual, and the rhythm of life dictated as much by the tides and afternoon sea breeze as by the working week.

Throw a towel over your shoulder and wander down to the beach for a morning swim before work. Take your board down for a surf when the swell is up. Walk the dog along the shoreline or head through the Tuart forests of Bold Park for your daily nature fix.

Catch up with friends for coffee at the beachfront cafés, or wander down with the family for an evening meal as the sun sinks into the Indian Ocean.

These simple pleasures become part of everyday life.

And tucked away just 8 houses back from the beach track, high on the hill, is this very special home.

South City Beach’s original mid-century houses are increasingly rare as so many make way for contemporary replacements. Rarer still is one renovated with such integrity and sympathy to the period.

Rather than reinventing the home, the renovations celebrate everything that made its original design so appealing.

Clean architectural lines, soaring ceilings, exposed timber beams, polished timber floors and expansive walls of glass are complemented by an exquisitely renovated kitchen, contemporary bathrooms and considered modern appointments.

The result is a home retaining all the zeitgeisty excitement of its Mad Men era origins, when Australian coastal living was being re-imagined through the optimism and freedom of mid-century modernism, while providing the comfort and refinement of contemporary coastal living.

The main living room is simply gorgeous.

Soaring timber-framed windows look out into the treetops, while polished boards, exposed ceiling beams and a dramatic suspended fireplace create the feeling of a mid-century architectural retreat.

In winter, light the fire, settle into the lounge with a book and enjoy being cocooned amongst the greenery. In summer, open the doors to the entertaining deck and let the fresh ocean air drift through the home.

The renovated kitchen is crisp, contemporary and understated, its restrained palette and clean cabinetry sitting comfortably alongside the home’s original timber detailing. A generous island bench and adjoining living and dining spaces make this a wonderful place for family life to unfold.

Elsewhere, the bedrooms, bathrooms and additional living spaces continue the same thoughtful approach, creating a home that feels relaxed, refined and entirely at ease with itself.

Outside, the gardens have the wonderful maturity that only time can create.

Established trees, natural stonework, terraced lawns and secluded outdoor spaces give the property a sense of permanence and privacy. The covered entertaining deck invites long summer lunches, evening barbecues and gatherings with friends, while the gardens provide a peaceful green outlook from almost every corner of the home.

It is the sort of place where children grow up outdoors, where sandy feet and salty hair are part of the daily routine, and where friends and family gravitate on weekends.

And all of this is just footsteps from the water’s edge.

For all its holiday atmosphere, South City Beach is astonishingly central, being the closest beachfront to Perth’s CBD. The western suburbs’ finest schools, Claremont and Subiaco Villages and the commercial heart of the city are all conveniently close.

It is this extraordinary duality that makes South City Beach so special.

You can be immersed in the demands of a busy professional life one moment and swimming in the rejuvenating waters of the Indian Ocean the next.

There are very few places where these two lifestyles coexist so effortlessly.

And fewer still where you can enjoy them from a beautifully preserved mid-century home with this much architectural character and soul.

Homes like this are part of the fabric of City Beach. They tell the story of the suburb’s beginnings, of a simpler era of Australian coastal living, and of the lifestyle that first drew families to these dunes generations ago.

To find one so exquisitely renovated, in such a remarkable location, is a rare opportunity indeed.

Life is good here… Welcome to South City Beach.
