Class, comfort and community in coastal setting

This Sorrento residence is all about modern coastal living, featuring a thoughtful design and an enviable location mere moments from the water.

Haiven Property North Director Jenny Hughes said the dwelling, which stood proud on a 448sqm block, was just over six years old and presented as brand new.

“Its newness makes it very easy to live in,” she said.

According to Ms Hughes, engineered timber flooring, high ceilings and expansive light-filled spaces are amongst the house’s many enviable features.

Floor-to-ceiling glass on the facade makes for a grand welcome, which is enhanced by an elegant floating staircase greeting you upon entry.

Ms Hughes said the home’s two-level design was ideal for families with older children, with amenities and living rooms on each floor making it easy for parents and kids to enjoy separate domains.

At the heart of the ground level, family members will naturally gravitate towards the open-plan zone, where the kitchen, dining room and lounge come together.

The kitchen is a home chef’s haven pairing style with substance.

“There’s lots of bench space, clean lines, quality Siemens appliances and plentiful storage,” Ms Hughes said. “The kitchen flows through to a functional and fabulous butler’s kitchen leading into the laundry.”

You will want to linger in the dining room, which is designed for social time and relaxation to continue well beyond the final course.

“The dining room is set up with a bar area featuring a magnificent 178-bottle Miele wine fridge,” Ms Hughes said, adding that the adjoining lounge elevates the serene ambience.

The fully equipped theatre room is an ideal spot for indoor entertaining, comprising double doors, surround sound and a built-in projector.

For larger gatherings, spread your celebrations out to the exterior zones and easy-care gardens.

The alfresco is equipped with cafe-style blinds, a ceiling fan and a built-in barbecue, while its counterpart – a standalone patio – boasts casual seating, plus a pizza oven and roasting apparatus.

“The alfresco area gets a lot of northern sunlight in the winter months,” Ms Hughes said.

Outdoor living can also be enjoyed to the fullest on the upper floor, where a family room with a kitchenette opens to a substantial balcony overlooking the ocean and distant Rottnest Island.

“When you see the ocean views, you immediately feel like you’re on holiday,” Ms Hughes said.

Sharing the balcony and framed by water vistas, the main suite comprises a walkthrough robe and a hotel-style ensuite with a freestanding bath, a walk-in shower, and his and her vanity units, plus a concealed laundry chute.

Two minor bedrooms – one with a walk-in wardrobe and the other with a built-in robe – offer respite, while the study could be used as an extra bedroom.

An activity room with a study nook functions as a great kids’ retreat.

Completing the level is a family bathroom with a shower and twin vanity units, alongside a separate water closet.

A downstairs bedroom with a built-in robe and an adjacent bathroom creates a private oasis for extended family members or guests.

Rounding off the residence, a secure double garage offers ample space for vehicles and storage.

With the vast waterscape setting the scene, the best of Sorrento’s community lifestyle is just beyond your door.

“You can stroll to Sorrento and Marmion beaches and see the waves,” Ms Hughes said. “The Hillarys Boat Harbour marina is an easy walk away via the beach.

“There’s a very community-centric feel in the area with Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club and all the marina’s facilities.

“The property is also near the new Ora Sorrento development, which is going to have a sensational choice of restaurants.”
