3 De Bernales Walk, Cottesloe WA 6011

Inside, a series of archways meet textural lime plaster walls, solid brass hardware, Black Japan-stained jarrah floors, and windows adorned with Belgian linen. To the right, two minor bedrooms are separated by frosted glass doors – each flowing outdoors, north and south, to the gardens. The living also opens north via its own set of double doors, while a spiral wool-clad staircase rises to the master suite with ocean views, extensive built-in storage, and a reading nook. White-painted timber creates a clean, minimalist canvas, with a moody black ensuite in dramatic contrast – complete with rainfall shower, vanity, toilet, and discreet, integrated storage that is such a feature throughout.

The kitchen is exquisite: Danish oak cabinetry topped with stainless steel, high-end appliances including a Miele dishwasher and electric oven, with PITT gas burners integrated into the countertop. The laundry/bathroom continues the craftsmanship, with a separate WC, while the dining extends outdoors to the rear garden through steel-framed double doors. Out the back, a single carport accessed via John Street is sheltered by a leafy canopy of passionfruit vines, and includes a handy EV charger. There's also a private single car bay for use, via Broome Street.

This is a home both rare and remarkable – a coastal hideaway steeped in natural beauty with a rich, storied past, and every detail imaginable for a life of quiet luxury by the ocean.
