Iconic Sorrento Tradition Meets Architectural Innovation
The fusion of history and luxury is a rare find, and this captivating Sorrento cottage, believed to date back to 1895, offers precisely that. Once home to a local dairy farmer, its walls have witnessed over a century of change, with its storied past integrated into a spectacular architectural transformation that pays homage to its history while elevating it for modern-day coastal brilliance.
Beyond a traditionally elegant facade, the contemporary allure is evident with the richness of wide board oak flooring complementing the endearing character within the sitting room, featuring an original fireplace that has been modernised with a gas replica, a study nook, and a large primary suite complete with sky-lit ceilings, robes and a lavish ensuite. Three additional bedrooms feature built-in robes within the hallway, served by the central designer bathroom that exudes effortless style with handmade clay tiles and terrazzo heated flooring. A courtyard with a striking 2m WA grass tree serves as a visual and physical transition between the traditional front and the awe-inspiring modernity of the rear, where the wow factor truly unfolds.
Rammed earth walls, crafted by the same tradespeople behind the Sorrento Hotel, rise to meet soaring 4m Westport red cedar ceilings, where extraordinary natural light floods the open-plan living area through floor-to-ceiling glass, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. The gourmet European kitchen, featuring premium integrated appliances, backlit shelving, and a hidden cocktail bar, is perfect for hosting. The main lounge, enriched by a gas fireplace framed with corten-coloured porcelain and a solid 5m ironbark shelf, flows effortlessly to the alfresco deck, complete with a built-in BBQ kitchen.
Meticulously designed outdoor areas offer a private sanctuary for both relaxation and entertainment. Whether gathering around the fire pit, taking a dip in the heated plunge pool, hosting a BBQ, or retreating to the guest cottage, there's room for everyone to enjoy their own space. The guest cottage, with its own entrance, ensures privacy and comfort for extended family stays or visiting friends.
Hidden behind a sliding wood-featured facade, car enthusiasts will appreciate the three-car garage with its high-span ceiling and workshop area, perfect for storing and working on a collection of vehicles.
Pick up a coffee and the paper from St. Pauls General Store and enjoy the close proximity to bay and ocean beaches, as well as Sorrento Village. This residence masterfully balances historic charm with contemporary living in one of Sorrento’s most sought-after locations.
