Beyond a limestone wall and classic white picket fence sits one of Mosman Park's most cherished character cottages. Built in 1910, this warm-hearted home has spent the past twenty-nine years as one of the suburb's most beloved bed and breakfasts. Now, for the first time in nearly three decades, RoseMoore Cottage is ready for its next chapter.
Step inside and the sense of history is immediate. Jarrah floorboards run underfoot, vaulted pine ceilings soar overhead in the bedrooms, and original features remain beautifully intact, from the leadlight door to the classic pine fire and stove surrounds and the stained-glass moments tucked into corners.
The main residence unfolds warmly around a country-style kitchen, a light-filled living and dining area, and two comfortable bedrooms which could also serve as a home office or a secondary living area. Doors open to a magnificent jarrah verandah framed by hand-crafted Gothic-arched timberwork, the kind of outdoor room that invites long, slow lunches and quiet mornings with a cup of tea.
Beyond the main house, three additional bedrooms, two with their own ensuites and all with independent entries offer remarkable flexibility. Whether you envisage continuing RoseMoore as a going-concern bed and breakfast, welcoming extended family in a self-contained multi-generational setup, or reimagining the property as a substantial four-bedroom, three-bathroom character residence, the layout supports every direction.
Set on 442m² in a prime spot, the location is genuinely special. Victoria Street Railway Station and the Stirling Highway bus routes are within an easy walk, while just a short drive puts you at the Swan River's edge or on the sand at Cottesloe Beach. The Coles shopping centre and Glyde Street's cafes, restaurants and bars are also a short stroll.
Homes with this much soul and versatility rarely come to market. Whether you're a family seeking a home with heart, a savvy investor after a proven bed and breakfast, or somewhere in between, RoseMoore Cottage is one to see for yourself.
