Are we in Mykonos? No, actually we're in Mullaloo but there's definitely a touch of the Greek Islands vibe going on! With the white rendered walls, courtyards, arched gated entry, wrought iron, terracotta tiles and crazy paved terraces it's time to crack open the Retsina...gazing through the vine clad pergola over roof tops, palms and towards the Indian Ocean as the sun sets - simply magnificent! Best served with with crusty bread, feta and Kalamata olives. We're Sold!
If you appreciate an original 'retro' 1970s home and the increasing demand for this type of home and build quality then this is going to be your new home.
Situated only minutes from one of the finest stretches of white sand, yet close to public transport and a short walk to local shops and conveniences, the location is premium.
Enter via a curved, deep drive and find a large, separate tiled roof garage with an attached workshop area (charmingly named 'the library') - could be converted into a separate dwelling.
A high gate directs you up steps to a wonderful front courtyard with a pretty water feature - relax here for breakfast and coffee in the morning sun.
Inside, is a charming entry hall with original slate floors which run through the living areas of the home - perfect for thermal control - warm in winter, cool in summer.
The central kitchen has exposed brick and arch over the cook top, meals area with a large pantry and over looks the family room...with the second courtyard and ocean outlook.
The more formal living areas have 28 course windows both front and back and are filled with light and delightful vistas, connecting with the master bedroom and en suite at the rear of the house... sliding glass doors open to a captivating blue and white painted outdoor shower to complete the Mediterranean theme.
The rear pergola shades the high terrace with beautiful crazy paving and steps down to another courtyard, ideal for summer barbecues...and on the lower level is a completely private pool with another shady spot for lounging.
Three minor bedrooms and family bathroom are positioned at the front of the house.
If you want a large, modern home, this isn't the one for you. If you love cottage, holiday, retro, unique, original, charm, ocean sunsets, warmth and character you've found it. Eureka!
