THE "PALM TREE HOUSE":

A CITY BEACH LANDMARK FACING THE BUSHLAND AND THE OCEAN.

AN ORIGINAL CITY BEACH MIDCENTURY BUNGALOW OF TIMELESS BEAUTY!

The house that has been associated with the "Gate" to Old Central City Beach, and is part of City Beach's history as "The Palm Tree House" due to the 3 gigantic date palm trees surrounding it.

The palm tree theme, blended with the image of a family home, has always been inspiring, as found in the works of the most influential painters like Joan Miro ("House with Palm Tree", 1918) and in our times, in the detailed restoration of the iconic "Palm Tree House in Vaucluse" by Madeleine Blanchfield Architects.

YESTERDAY...

The finale of the Commonwealth Games in Perth in 1962 and the City Beach Games Village, the accommodation establishments for the athletes and their entourage, brought City Beach into the spotlight and a wave of visionary newcomers started building homes next to the few existing ones in Old Central City Beach - the segment that sits across the main beach, between Oceanic Drive and The Boulevard.

5 Templetonia Crescent, an original bungalow design, was among the first houses built in that era and one of the few remaining ones, standing out for its authenticity, character and impeccable location and aspect.

TODAY!

Today, there are only 3 City Beach addresses at "The Gate" to Old Central City Beach, just across the lively Empire Village shopping centre, and 5 Templetonia Crescent is one of them, sitting on the corner of Templetonia with one of the most iconic City Beach streets: Dampier Av.

The 951 m2 corner landholding is located in front of the park that signifies the entrance to the coastal mega-bushland of 77 hectares that runs all the way from South City Beach, up to Hale Rd. and it has direct open horizon to the trees, the lawns and to the ocean from a potential second storey.

THE PROPERTY

A bungalow that homages the past in the most authentic expression. A culmination of nostalgic domestic silhouettes that form the canvas for a sophisticated transformation in the hands of a skilled architect or a design enthusiast.

Solid as a rock, the structure of the building incorporates the "old school" building standards, when builders would not cut corners, leading to "immortal" constructions surpassing in durability and robustness homes that were built many years later.

The corner landholding of 951 m2 has a facade of 49 m. on Templetonia Cr. and Dampier Av., providing abundant natural light but also absolute privacy as there are no houses across the block.

Smoothly elevated, the land gifts the current single-storey house with a height advantage and views from a potential second-storey - thanks to the open horizon of the park across.

THE POINT OF DIFFERENCE

This is a significant piece of City Beach's history but also a landholding in the most privileged location in the suburb, combining direct access to the park, the bushland, Empire Village shopping centre and City Beach Primary School.

It's only one of the very few addresses where you can walk to the beach across or catch the bus from the bus stop in front of the property and be on the main beach and the restaurants within 5', or commute to the city without taking your car!

THE OPPORTUNITY!

Properties of this calibre and potential do not reach the market often, and when they do, they sell fast. Whether you renovate and keep or use this property as a "landbank" or build your dream home at "The Gate" of Old Central City Beach, this address will be life-changing for you and your loved ones!
