8 Bernier Rise, North Coogee, WA 6163

Set within South Beach Estate's exclusive enclave, laidback coastal living meets South Freo's vibrant lifestyle, and what a home to take it all in: beautiful elements of timber, stone and glass enhanced by natural northern light, an internal potted-plant courtyard and a serene upper level with a sheltered balcony made for those gentle sea breezes. Flourishing olive trees line the verge, creating a leafy screen of privacy the birds just love, and the soothing sound of waves lapping the shore nearby is ever-present in this blissful setting so close to it all. It's an easy stroll to local's favourite Barrow Park with its award-winning amenities, North Coogee dog beach, South Beach, and South Terrace's endless array of shops, cafes, bars, restaurants and bakeries, plus – Freo's town centre in minutes by bike or car.

Built in 2008 by BuildWise WA, a wide pivot door opens up to elegant, ocean-inspired interiors, jarrah floors and a guest powder room discreetly nearby. Natural linen sheers drape the windows throughout, with the bonus of Luxaflex blockout blinds, while the indoor-outdoor flow from the north-facing terrace through the open plan to the internal courtyard, invites the breezes and light. At the heart of it all, the stone and timber kitchen is exquisite: huge freestanding island, the finest Italian 'La Germania' cooking appliances, Asko dishwasher, and the laundry beyond. Outside, climbing jasmine vines add to the leafy serenity of the high-walled courtyard, as it wraps around to the double lock up garage at the rear (accessed via Darcy Lane). There's walls of storage for tools, kayaks and surfboards, with a handy shopper's entry through to the kitchen on the other side.

Upstairs, plush carpet leads the way to two lovely, light-filled bedrooms (each with built-in robes), study nook, linen cupboard with masses of storage, and a bathroom that continues the timber-stone look, complete with a mosaic-tiled bath, shower and toilet. At the end of the hallway, the main suite has been curated for total tranquillity with so much space: walk-in robe, ensuite for two in dreamy neutral tones, and a private balcony to sit and enjoy the atmosphere as the sun sets across the Norfolk Pine treetops curving towards the beach.

It's everything you'd hope for in this peaceful pocket by the sea: close-knit community, a lifestyle of oceanside leisure, and all the perks of South Freo living from the doorstep of this stunning, two-storey coastal retreat.
