It looks like the holiday home of a New York socialite, but this Hamptons-inspired build is fresh on the Perth market.

Built just last November, the family-sized haven on Nedlands’ Princess Road is a masterclass in coastal charm and design flair, from its light white walls to its feature recessed ceilings.

Timber-look floor tiles bless the first-level open-plan layout with the aesthetic of sunbaked driftwood and introduces a rustic beach vibe to the kitchen, living and dining area.

Meanwhile, a series of bi-fold doors frame this space and brings quaint alfresco scenes and welcome sunshine into the breezy, simplistically styled room.

For Ray White Dalkeith Claremont Sales Executive Thomas Jefferson Wedge, the open-plan kitchen and living room is the crown jewel of 157 Princess Road.

“All of life can happen there at once and the family can easily be all together,” he said. “This double-storey home is perfect for growing and busy families that need beautiful living spaces which are super easy to maintain in one of the most highly desirable suburbs in Perth.”

Among the rooms most convenient for busy families is the thrilling kitchen – a vivid white centrepiece that is a cut above the rest.

Those putting away groceries will not cry for storage options, with cupboards for days stretching around the large space.

A beverage station, a pull-out double bin with hidden storage, a zip tap for sparkling, boiling and chilled water, and high-end integrated Miele appliances are just some of the features that will make cooking in this kitchen a breeze.

Along with functional additions like the five-plate induction cooktop and breakfast bar, home chef’s will also love the beautiful design elements, including stone sinks, subway tile splashbacks and sleek marble and stone benchtops.

Similar character pieces can be found elsewhere in the home, including the intriguing brick feature columns that border the wall-built television and open gas fireplace.

While there is a guest room with an ensuite downstairs, the majority of the home’s bedrooms sit on the upper level, clustered around a family room.

The master suite in particular will have buyers feel like they have just stepped into a five-star hotel, complete with a fully tiled ensuite, open rainfall shower, twin stone vanities and a freestanding claw-foot bath.

On the other side of the room, a mammoth walk-in closet with shelves stacked high means there’s a home for every shirt and skirt pulled off the rack at the department store, while the gargantuan bedroom itself boasts enough space for any extra cabinets.

Spanning roughly 313sqm, the Nedlands property prioritises low-maintenance living and includes a cosy alfresco area and wall-built swimming pool.

Without the stress of a large back lawn, Mr Jefferson Wedge said homeowners were free to enjoy the exceptional green spaces the suburb had to offer, including the immaculate Matilda Bay – a Perth gem right down the street.

“Look over the road and you will see the nearest bus stop, whilst world-class shopping at Claremont Quarter, trendy local cafes, restaurants and Loreto Nedlands Primary School are all just metres from your front doorstep,” he said. “Stroll to the Nedlands Golf Club too, with the picturesque Masons Gardens, our beautiful Swan River, the popular Dalkeith Village Shopping and Medical Centre and other exclusive sporting clubs all within reach.

“Oh, and don’t forget Nedlands Yacht Club, Christ Church Grammar School, Scotch College, Methodist Ladies’ College, hospitals or The University of Western Australia.”
