THE POINT – FRONT ROW SOUTH CITY @ Beach Track #1
THE POINT – FRONT ROW SOUTH CITY @ Beach Track #1
UNDER CONTRACT OFF MARKET by SCOTT SWINGLER
Situated at the “Cottesloe end” of the South City Beach waterfront, on the equal highest hilltop ocean side of West Coast Highway, this home boasts perhaps the best ocean front site on Challenger Parade. On a generous 895sqm land holding this is an opportunity rarely available.
Right at the entrance to the Town of Cambridge beach track #1, the site enjoys a sweeping ocean and coast reserve panorama, taking in Fremantle, Cottesloe, Rockingham, Garden Island, Carnac Island and Rottnest, and the South City /Swanbourne lookout tower.
This original single level 1960’s home with a modern 1980’s extension provides ground floor ocean views from the existing house. (If you have ever tried to find a site with permanent ground floor views in City Beach you will realize how hard this is to procure!)
The opportunity is available for a future redevelopment, which would massively amplify views from the existing home. The home is situated on “The Point” on Challenger Parade, right out on the apex on the bend of the street. The existing house is built a long way behind allowable setbacks, so additional to “going up”, redevelopment towards the street and building line will allow a sweeping aspect up the coast to the north in front of all other houses on the street, due to the homes “Point-like” location. Live comfortably today, secure in the knowledge of your extreme future redevelopment potential!
Although perhaps a “block value” proposition, this is certainly a large, functional free flowing family home. Inside, the cool, “beachy” interior adds to the lifestyle that this location provides. Separation between minor and master living works perfectly, with 3 minor bedrooms towards the back of the home, and the master suite positioned ideally at the front of the home to attain the stunning coastal views.
Separate living areas provide an escape for both the parents and the kids, with a living and dining area on the first floor and, hidden downstairs, a living room with built in bar and private access to a paved entertaining courtyard “in the dunes” at the front of the home.
To the rear is a detached granny flat or guest studio with bathroom and air conditioning. Currently used for a live in au-pair, it would also make a perfect for guest suite.
Secure rear gardens and lawns are great for the kids to enjoy. An outdoor, timber decked beach shower is fringed by frangipani trees and suits the coastal lifestyle perfectly. There is even a chook run and large veggie garden to greet you at the front of the property!
The proposed City Beach beachfront redevelopment ( google “you tube City Beach development”) promises amazing lifestyle and capital gain opportunities for south City Beach property owners.
Ocean-front positioning of this caliber is not readily available. The lifestyle provided by this home, its proximity to the coast, the sites sheer waterfront elevation and unique position on “The Point” provide an opportunity too rare…so don’t delay!!

The juxtaposition of being the most central and closest beachside suburb to the heart of Perth City, yet abundant in nature, greenery and expansive wide open spaces is at the core of the allure of City Beach. Almost completely surrounded by a green belt, it is cocooned by an amazing natural buffer of Swanbourne Army Reserve, Cottesloe Golf Club, Bold Park/Perry Lakes/Reabold Hill, The Wembley Golf Course, the sparkling Indian Ocean and internally interwoven by a network of parks many of which meander all the way from one end of the suburb to the other without even crossing a road. City Beach is a suburb like nowhere else.
