VIEWS OF BREAKING SURF FROM HILLTOP ARCHITECTURAL HOME
PERHAPS THE MOST AMAZING OCEAN VIEW BUILDING BLOCK IN CITY BEACH WITH A COOL LIVEABLE HOUSE THROWN IN FOR FREE!
The ocean views are mesmerising and wonderfully protected by the sheer altitude of this intangibly warm and interesting one-owner hilltop family home. Watch the waves crashing over the dunes. Lose yourself in the horizon at Rottnest and beyond. Monitor the comings and goings of the container ships for the entirety of their route in and out of Gage Roads. Marvel after dusk as the ocean comes to light with an array of lights which traverse the horizon from Fremantle and Rockingham ports, Gage Roads, Carnac, Garden and Rottnest Islands, the City Beach foreshore and everything in between. These views are available from myriad vantage points on all levels of this intriguing City Beach home.
Architect designed in 1970 by Hobbs Winning Australia (of Perth Entertainment Centre and Sheraton Hotel fame), this home embraces its outlook wherever possible and is adorned with design concepts which were at the forefront of their time, such as ducted vacuuming and central ducted gas heating.
Built over three levels, the home features a 2-3 car undercroft garage built into the hillside at basement level. The first floor is level with the street at the front door and features formal living and dining areas which open onto an expansive ocean view balcony and soak up the mesmerising ocean views. Timber lined ceilings, metallic dividing sculpture-screens of the era and a curved feature fireplace create a warm ambience and personality. A copper wall panel adds intrigue whilst at the same time providing radiant heat from the central ducted gas heating system. Picture windows overlook the expansive pool and gardens to the rear. This same aspect is shared by the kitchen/meals, to which a second open fire place provides an undeniable homely charm.
Curved ply-wood walls envelope an architectural central spherical stairwell which appears to prop up the double ceiling void in this family meals area. Interaction with the second floor is easy via balconies hovering to either side.
Upstairs are 3 to 4 bedrooms (one of the larger rooms was previously two smaller ones) and two bathrooms, two of which open onto an expansive top floor balcony and again soak up the mesmerising ocean views. Halfway up the stairwell is an exit to an attic-style office space (perhaps more akin to an adults cubby house!), which again enjoys ocean views and interacts with the family meals area below.
A beloved one-family home for the last 44 years, the design of this home is without peers and the ocean views are simply irreplaceable. Situated on a generous hilltop landholding of 911sqm, it's largely a land value proposition yet provides you and your family the opportunity to live in one of the most interesting dwellings to hit the City Beach market in recent years.
