The iconic property at 12 Caithness Road, Floreat in Western Australia has hosted several visits from NASA astronaut Buzz Aldrin, a legacy the current owners have referenced with the use of vintage-style star-shaped tiles throughout the property’s renovation.

The five-bedroom three-bathroom home on 804sqm of land is being marketed by Ray White Cottesloe agent Helen Hemery with an early to mid $3 million price guide.

“This house is really something special - to know that the second person to ever walk on the moon visited this property is something pretty special,” Ms Hemery said.

“The contemporary coastal-inspired home pays homage to a classic Cape Cod-style design and offers comfortable family living.

“This home is in a family-friendly street and the next owners will be over the moon with their choice!” she said.

She said the entire floor plan had been redesigned for modern needs, and every surface and finish had been carefully selected to breathe new life into the original architecture.

“From the gated entrance, visitors are welcomed by a Tristan Pierce formal garden, a central garden and a large lawn area,” Ms Hemery said.

She said other renovations included new ceilings, flooring, a Colorbond roof, roof insulation, and air conditioning.

“A spacious modern kitchen overlooks a heated, resurfaced magnesium swimming pool with new water-lined tiles,” Ms Hemery said.

On the first floor there is a master bedroom with a large ensuite, and a second bedroom with an ensuite built-in robe, she said

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, one which is currently being used as an activity room, an open-plan study nook and family bathroom with separate toilet.

“Nothing has been missed with this renovation, it’s the perfect home for a family looking to live in a premium location,” she said.
