Solid retro among the trees
This is a lovely green spot in the valley: Stokes Street is lined with gums and peppermints, and this corner block also sits on a special part of Samson Street, with a treed outlook to the green space in the centre of the wide boulevard. With the same owners since it was built in the seventies, the home has been meticulously cared for and is a real time capsule: retro tiling, impeccable kitchen, bathroom and laundry, and even an authentic array of the decorative light fittings of the day. In a welcoming neighbourhood, this is an exciting prospect to consider all the possibilities that are yours to explore in this well-positioned property.
Built in solid brick and tile and neatly rendered, the home opens to a hallway featuring the jarrah architraves and amazing original quality tiling that firmly place the home in its era. Sliding doors open to the living, with a green outlook through big picture windows. Beyond is the kitchen and dining, in completely original condition with timber veneer cabinetry and 70s orange to the fore. Three bedrooms all have timber-look floors, and there is more spectacular tiling and bold colour in the bathroom, toilet and laundry, in keeping with the home’s Portuguese heritage.
The single garage leads through to an additional room with cabinetry and sink, and the outdoor areas are paved, with a garden shed. Security screens are fitted to the doors and windows, with high fences for privacy. It is all highly functional and practical to rent or live in right now, while considering the future of this corner block: walk to Valley Park, the Community Orchard and White Gum Valley Primary; stroll down to public transport on South Street, or take a short drive to central Fremantle and the beach.
