4 Haining Avenue

Cottesloe WA 6011

Open by appointment, please call Deborah Brady to view this property. Located in the desirable central ward and nestled behind the old flour mill is the best street in Cottesloe to raise a family. From a bygone era, it has wide open spaces where your children can join in the play and roam with neighbours on a wide frontage. Under decades-old peppermint trees, providing a well-shaded and peaceful setting, 4 Haining Avenue, Cottesloe offers the new owner the opportunity to keep the current family home with the features described below. Alternatively, you may wish to redevelop this magnificent 903sqm site as a stunning single home with a North facing rear and massive street frontage, or potentially subdivide into two blocks (this would require Cottesloe Council and WAPC approval). The owners of this much-loved family home in Cottesloe have enjoyed its versatile and workable layout, which has evolved over the years to suit their growing family and changing dynamics. The split-level design offers distinct living spaces, perfect for families requiring their own space while maintaining a sense of togetherness and those seeking multi-generational living arrangements. With six bedrooms and two and half bathrooms, the inviting home boasts an impressive 903-sqm block (zoned R20) As you approach the entrance, you'll notice the terracotta tiled steps, which, together with the cedar cladding to the second level, add warmth and character to the property. The front lounge room features stunning jarrah floorboards and a gas fireplace, perfect for cozy winter evenings. Step through to the central family zone, where cork floor-tiling and the solid Tasmanian oak kitchen cabinetry provide a welcoming space for family and friends to gather. The utility nook, appliance cupboard and generous pantry provide ample storage space, and you'll appreciate the inclusion of quality appliances such as Neff double ovens and a Bosch dishwasher.Making the most of its idyllic north-south orientation, the home has external access from almost every room. The central living and dining area boasts expansive north-facing windows overlooking the sun-drenched rear gardens. A shade sail ensures shelter in the summer and warm natural sunlight in the cooler months.The second-storey extension is the perfect adults' retreat, quite separate from the hive of activity in the heart of the home. The bedroom's large bay window provides a leafy view of the front gardens and streetscape, with a window seat perfect for relaxing with a book. With a walk-through robe, ceiling fan, white timber blinds and new carpet, it's been designed with comfort and functionality in mind.Adjacent, at the landing, a study nook with a built-in desk and cabinetry is a great spot for keeping things organised, sewing or other creative endeavours, and there's also a second bedroom - ideal as a nursery with its proximity to the main bedroom.Find four further bedrooms downstairs, which provide enormous versatility for varying family arrangements. One features French doors that open out to the rear alfresco area, a sizeable room that will also lend itself to a games or activity space. On the western side of the home, the configuration of a private entrance, spacious living area, bathroom and two bedrooms provides a suitable basis for a granny flat or self-contained guest or au pair quarters.Another highlight of this exceptional home is the conversion of the original free-standing single garage into a teen retreat, home office or creative space. With a pitched roof and a ceiling fan, it has French doors with fly screens that allow for indoor-outdoor airflow, and power is on hand for charging devices or running small appliances. The adjoining garden shed adds further functionality, with the potential to become an ensuite bathroom, which would open up a range of home-based business opportunities or even a short-term accommodation income stream.The rear limestone-terraced gardens surround an expanse of lawn, and feature established tropical plants, including frangipanis, agaves, palms, bamboo, and a potted Japanese maple tree. An added bonus is the outdoor hot and cold shower to rinse off the salt and sand after a morning at Cottesloe Beach. Add the cedar-lined alfresco with a freshly varnished jarrah deck, and a bubbling water feature, and you have a tranquil and private oasis to enjoy throughout the seasons.
