THE LOCATION
In my 25 years of selling South City Beach properties, these are the best ocean views I have seen bar-none! This huge 1022sqm landholding is only metres from the beachtrack and sits atop the highest hill in South City Beach. Due west, Bodmin Ave (the suburb’s tiniest street, only three homes long) is your direct route to the beach track and ensures that there will never be any homes in between you and the beachfront protecting your views forever!
South City Beach is the west coast’s most secluded coastal hamlet. This closest beachfront to Perth City comprises a finite 250 homes, oceanside of West Coast Highway, nestled in the dunes and cocooned against the shoreline by an expansive, green buffer of The Swanbourne Army Reserve, Cottesloe Golf Club, Bold Park bushlands and the iconic beach front City Beach football ovals. Within this precinct, this site is the best of the best!
THE HOME
Designed by Alan McDonald and built by Charles Allia, this huge, three level family home has an amazing design which is so in sync with the surrounding coastal topography of its oceanside hilltop, each and every floor seamlessly interconnects with the gardens and outdoors.
Incredible ocean views are available from every conceivable location within the home. (Removal of trees from your own front garden could even magnify them even further!) On the entrance level a minor bedroom wing has two big rooms sharing a family bathroom, both with sliders onto wrap around ocean view balconies. At the other end, is a guest suite with its own kitchenette, bathroom and office/lounge. Perfect for an au-pair, live-in parents or young adults or your international/interstate visitors. This suite can easily be separated into a guest wing and an additional bedroom. On the ground floor, a gymnasium on the ground floor could double as a second office or another extra bedroom. The garaging is cavernous with room for four cars plus a workshop space plus two walk-in storage cupboards. There is additional parking at the side for you boat, trailer, or caravan. The top floor is level with the rear pool and gardens and the choice of three huge living spaces is a dream! One for everyday living and lounging is open plan to the kitchen. This and the formal lounge and formal dining both open onto wrap around oceanside verandas with spectacular ocean views. The third living space is an indoor/outdoor room which bi-folds east to lawns and bbq area and north, to verandas overlooking the sundrenched pool terrace. Always protected from The Fremantle Doctor, this space is both for lounging and dining (think Christmas lunch, the kids 21st or even the grand final!) and has built-in drinks fridges and a projector with big screen for watching your favourite game. The master suite is also on this level and offers extreme privacy allowing you to gaze out over the ocean without another home in sight.

THE POTENTIAL
This amazing family is ready for you to move in and live now and will suit all your family needs long into the future. Additionally, the bones are incredible for a large-scale cosmetic transformation – ask us for examples of concept designs we have had done for similar properties. Due to the truly rare and aspirational nature of the landholding, it is not at all inconceivable that buyers will purchase purely as a site for their future dream home with capacity to be one of the very best homes on the entire Perth coastline. We believe that the rear of the property has the potential for another level under current building guidelines. (Please confirm with your architect.) Even better views than these? The mind boggles!
