Last Listing description (July 2021)
41 Napier Street, Cottesloe is a leisurely stroll from our stunning Cottesloe Beach, this enchanting 4/5 bedroom 3 bathroom two-storey family home is somewhat of a hidden gem, nestled behind a lush frontage that is far enough off the road whilst still within touching distance of both the Cottesloe Civic Centre and Cottesloe Tennis Club.
Adjacent to a tiled entrance lie large carpeted formal lounge and dining rooms that are both linked to one another. Featuring high raked ceilings, this space extend outside to a large courtyard with a viny pergola via two separate sliding doors. This paved outdoor courtyard also provides access to the most private of back gardens, inclusive of a paved drying and clothesline area and plenty of space to sit and quietly contemplate life under the trees.
The study at the front of the house has its own powder room, whilst a wooden door shuts off the formal spaces from the rest of the floor plan. Timber floorboards warm a central L-shaped open-plan family, meals and kitchen area that plays host to split-system air-conditioning, a gas bayonet for heating, stylish light fittings, another slider for pergola access, a servery window, built-in and walk-in pantries, tiled splashbacks, soft-closing drawers, double sinks, a water-filter tap, microwave recess, a gas cooktop, Westinghouse oven and a white LG dishwasher.
Between the family room and the back garden, you will also find a light, bright and carpeted second bedroom with built-in wardrobes, an original main bathroom with a bathtub and showerhead, a practical laundry with a linen press and external access to the rear, ample hallway linen storage and a separate toilet off an intimate master ensuite with a shower and vanity that complement a large, carpeted bedroom, a walk-in robe, a pleasant view out to the outdoor courtyard and back garden, plus split-system air-conditioning for year-round comfort.
Upstairs, two more carpeted bedrooms each comprise of built-in robes, their own split-system air-conditioning units and pleasant inland outlooks. A huge games room is also carpeted and leaves plenty of space for a pool table, alongside high raked ceilings, built-in book shelving, another split-system, a walk-in robe/linen press, a stylish fully-tiled third bathroom (with a shower, toilet, vanity and heat lamps) and a serene balcony deck where you can look out to the greenery with either a coffee or wine in hand, depending on the time of day. This room could also double as a 5th bedroom.
Walk to cafes, restaurants and public transport too, with shopping and top schools also within arm's reach of this enviable location. Terrific tranquillity awaits you here - and you wouldn't even know about it!
