Shrouded by glass, the design brief called for a strong interaction with nature and the extraordinary views across the Indian Ocean, the swimming pool and the neighbourhood treescape. Enjoyed from almost every room in the house, these views provide a stunning and ever evolving backdrop, from sunrise to sunset.

Open planning was also a key component to the design, with little segregation between spaces and very few corridors, encouraging a sense of connection internally. Benefiting from a northerly orientation, the home's floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings and external glass balustrades accentuate an abundance of natural light whilst providing uninterrupted sightlines to the views outside. Multiple living spaces provide alternative areas to relax and unwind, all while reminding you of this distinctly West Australian coastal location.

With a desire to create an inviting home, materiality was closely considered, incorporating as many high quality and natural materials as possible. Marble, stone, concrete, solid timber, stainless steel and glass, work harmoniously together, creating a minimalist yet warm environment. ComfortGlass is used throughout, ensuring enhanced thermal and sound insulation.

Not only designed as a well functioning family home, the residence is all about maximising lifestyle. Its free-flowing indoor and outdoor areas and multiple living spaces are created for entertaining, whether with family or on a grand scale. The resort-style swimming pool and spa is the home's focal point - its placement was a key consideration of the home's design. Located on the first floor and enjoying an elevated Northerly position, the swimming pool sits adjacent to the kitchen and can be seen from every primary living area, whilst enjoying privacy from the outside world.

A new kitchen by InDesign WA features the best in German design and anchors the home internally. Imported quartzite infinity stone provides natural stone to the dramatic waterfall island and splashback, which is complemented by a Silestone Miami Vena bench top. Fenix white custom cabinetry is beautifully crafted and a hidden walk-in pantry provides abundant storage. An illuminated glass cabinet acts as a stunning feature cabinet, whilst a Falmec Milano range hood, Miele dishwasher and Bosch 90 cm oven and cooktop are integrated for effortless cooking and entertaining.

The kitchen is complemented by multiple dining spaces - an impressive formal dining area with views of the ocean and the swimming pool, a casual space for meals off the kitchen, a north-facing contemporary alfresco area overlooking the pool, and an intimate rear outdoor dining area. With a distinctly Mediterranean influence, the rear outdoor space features a grape vine-clad pergola allowing dappled sunlight, and a pizza oven for relaxed get-togethers. Whichever space you choose to enjoy, views of the Indian Ocean are captured at almost every turn.

Every day feels like a holiday in the generous and luxurious main suite. With its private balcony and views as far as Rottnest Island, you'll enjoy waking up to the sound of the ocean and taking in the postcard-esque views. Pure wool carpets, custom window treatments and a beautiful ensuite with twin vanities, a separate shower and lavish bath completes the picture.

A nearby living area provides a further zone to lounge and unwind, and features an integrated desk, making it the ideal breakaway zone for the family. There are two large secondary bedrooms, each with a built-in desk, generous wardrobes, and an extensive joint balcony overlooking the ocean.

A generously sized extra bedroom on the ground floor with an adjoining ensuite provides the perfect base for mature children or a home office space, gym or yoga studio. There's also a fifth bedroom on the first floor, which is ideal for visitors.

The home's clean lines and white coastal aesthetic are beautifully complemented by elegantly designed outdoor spaces by landscape designer Acanthus Green. Lush and green, the curated landscape design softens the home's architectural edges and provides a beautiful green colour contrast and connection with nature.

Making the most of its prime elevated site on one of City Beach's most exclusive streets, 49 Hesperia positions you just a short stroll to the beach and popular nearby restaurants, Odyssea and Hamptons. With easy access to leading private schools such as Scotch College and Hale School, daily commuting will be effortless. Located just minutes away from Bold Park, Reabold Hill and Perry Lakes, you'll enjoy long walks away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. A quintessential beach house in a sublime location, this is 49 Hesperia.
