Imagine living in one of Perth’s most beautiful and tightly held coastal enclaves, where the beach is at the end of your street, Bold Park is your backyard playground, and every day feels a little 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 soaring walls of glass.

Welcome to 11 Callington Avenue.

Only around 250 homes nestle in the dunes of this remarkable coastal hamlet. Cradled between the Indian Ocean and the greenbelt of Bold Park, Cottesloe Golf Club, Swanbourne Army Reserve and City Beach Ovals, South City Beach is one of Perth’s rarest residential neighbourhoods. A secluded seaside village, almost hidden from the wider world, yet on the closest beachfront 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. 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. Meet friends at the beachfront cafés or enjoy an evening meal as the sun sinks into the Indian Ocean.

Just eight 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 for 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 carefully considered modern appointments.

The result retains the zeitgeisty excitement of its Mad Men era origins, when Australian coastal living was being reimagined through the optimism and freedom of mid-century modernism, while offering the refinement of contemporary coastal life.

The main living room is simply gorgeous.

Soaring timber-framed windows look into the treetops, while polished boards, exposed beams and a dramatic suspended fireplace create the feeling of a mid-century architectural retreat. In winter, light the fire and settle in with a book amongst the greenery. In summer, open the doors to the entertaining deck and let the fresh ocean air drift through the home.

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

Outside, the gardens have the wonderful maturity that only time can create. Established trees, natural stonework, terraced lawns and secluded spaces give the property permanence and privacy. The covered entertaining deck invites long summer lunches and gatherings with friends, while the gardens offer a peaceful green outlook from almost every corner of the home.

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

For all its holiday atmosphere, South City Beach is astonishingly central, with Perth’s CBD, The Western Suburb’s finest schools, Claremont and Subiaco Villages all conveniently close.

You can be immersed in a busy professional life one moment and swimming in the rejuvenating waters of the Indian Ocean the next. Few places allow these two lifestyles to coexist so effortlessly.

Homes like this are part of the fabric of City Beach. They tell the story of the suburb’s early days, 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.
