116 Broome Street, Cottesloe, WA 6011

Come home to a local landmark and enjoy living in this iconic, grand Cottesloe residence, just a short stroll from the ocean and close to everything fabulous Cottesloe has to offer.  Built on a generous 974sqm landholding, much larger than the typical Cottesloe block, this stately three-storey home is admired for its timeless character, elegant interiors, and warm, welcoming ambiance.

Originally constructed as a limestone and brick cottage in the 1940s, the home has been beautifully extended, restored, and fully landscaped, with renovations completed by acclaimed architect Meaghan White. There are also fully approved Council plans to extend the home with a fabulous new elevated swimming pool and deck area.  The façade, framed by tall palm trees and tropical gardens, features archways, terraces, balconies, and paned windows, blending classic Colonial charm with a touch of old Hollywood glamour.

Stepping through the jasmine-wrapped gate and double panelled doors, you're greeted by a vintage-style vestibule and a bright, grand entry hall lit by a statement glass pendant. Inside, character features abound: 100-year-old jarrah panelling from the historic Parker and Parker Law Firm, solid brass fittings, and custom jarrah joinery give the home a unique sense of history and soul.

The ground level offers a versatile family room with custom jarrah shelving, a second lounge/teenage retreat, and French doors opening onto the rear terrace and garden. Despite its heritage, the home feels open and airy throughout, with high ceilings, skylights, and a timeless neutral palette highlighting the irreplaceable jarrah floors.

The upper floor opens into a vast, light-filled open-plan space housing the kitchen, dining, and living areas with panoramic views. Overlooking the Civic Centre gardens, Cottesloe Tennis Club, and Norfolk Pines to the ocean, it's a dream setting for entertaining. Multiple terraces and balconies offer spots to enjoy the sea breeze, including a rear BBQ balcony with Caesarstone benches and city views.

At the heart of the home is the chef's kitchen, complete with ILVE range, marble splashback, Caesarstone countertops, Italian tapware, scullery, walk-in pantry, and two dishwashers. A hidden bar with a concealed fridge adds a touch of luxury. The adjoining living area features a marble-surround gas fireplace and a separate family room ideal for relaxing with a movie.

Designed for privacy, the upper-level main suite is a tranquil retreat with a walk-in robe, hotel-style ensuite, heated flooring, and its own private balcony with sunset views. Also on this level is a study or optional sixth bedroom with its own bathroom, perfect for guests or working from home.

Downstairs, four spacious bedrooms each feature built-in robes. Two front-facing bedrooms overlook the garden and share a semi-ensuite with marble finishes, while two rear bedrooms, ideal for children, include built-in desks and French doors opening to the garden. A luxurious family bathroom completes the level.

The landscaped gardens are an oasis, with large lawns, a eucalyptus centrepiece, fragrant magnolias and frangipanis, and lush tropical plantings. Entertain outdoors with a built-in BBQ, fire pit, alfresco area, and hot outdoor shower, all with a stylish Beverly Hills flair. 

On the lower level, whitewashed limestone walls frame practical yet stylish utility spaces: a large laundry with chute and dual machine setups, a home gym with garden access, a mudroom, wine cellar with rustic finishes, and a storeroom. Internal access leads to a spacious double garage, with additional off-street parking available.

This home offers exceptional versatility for families of all sizes and ages, with multiple living zones, ample accommodation, and a floorplan designed for comfort and connection.  Set in the heart of Cottesloe, you're minutes from the beach, cafés, restaurants, schools, and all the charm this prestigious seaside suburb has to offer.
