This award-winning residence holds a brilliant oceanfront position, yet is also tucked away on a peaceful and exclusive cul de sac.

No need to draw the curtains, just enjoy the views and feel like every day is a holiday.

The environmentally-friendly home directly overlooks North Cottesloe Beach, and is centred around dazzling Indian Ocean vistas.

The rooftop, an unbelievably chic terrace, sets the scene for any mode of entertaining.

For a quiet night in, simply soak up the spectacular west-coast sunsets from the spa pool.

The standard of finish and innovation exceeds expectation even for such a high calibre home. The six-car garage comes with a car lift (there's also a passenger lift running between each level).

The curved zinc roof not only offers immense visual appeal; it also is a clever design trick concealing the rooftop zones while still allowing light into the ceilings through double-glazed clerestory windows.

There are no corridors, every centimetre of the interior is light-filled and fully functional.

On the main alfresco balcony, glass balustrades automatically slide up to protect from the weather (becoming full-height glass walls if required) or down to allow the cooling breezes of summer. As a fully enclosed space, it is an enchanting spot to watch wild winter storms roll in off the ocean.

The home is exceptionally well proportioned. Its four-bedroom four-bathroom layout not only provides privacy & separation, but also flexibility to suit changing needs over the years. Parents, children, relatives, and guests can all be accommodated in comfort.

This is a location will never become tiresome.  Steps from the pristine sand and gentle waves of Western Australia's most iconic beach, and walking distance to dining hotspots such as The Shorehouse and The Blue Duck and local gem, Daisies Cafe, is also a short stroll away.

Claremont Quarter, one of several golf courses, or prestigious schools including MLC, PLC, Iona, Christ Church Grammar and Scotch are a within a few minutes drive.
