No. 10 Yilgarn Street, White Gum Valley, on the border of Fremantle, is a beautifully crafted, architect-designed home with all the character, elegance and style you could wish for - and ocean views as well!
This 2-storey, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has been thoughtfully designed to embrace light, views, and a flowing connection with the large courtyard and roof garden. The layout also offers very comfortable separation, with two living areas and a delightful studio bedroom.
Enter conveniently via the secure double garage, and you'll find yourself in a magnificent private courtyard where you can truly enjoy the beauty of this building. There are 4 banks of French doors opening onto the outdoor entertaining space, where there are multiple areas to sit and read a book or enjoy a banquet with friends.
The ground level houses a large, light-filled living room, kitchen and dining - all with beautiful exposed timber beams and pine lining-boards. The kitchen has a delightful modern country elegance with stone bench tops, crafted timber cabinetry and an array of Miele appliances. While it's a beautiful kitchen worthy of a magazine exposé, it is also superbly practical. There are cupboards and drawers for every item, and a deep corner pantry. The central island further extends the kitchen prep space and allows you to sit and enjoy a drink with the chef.
With French doors on two sides, a beautifully defined dining area sits opposite the kitchen and takes in the leafy courtyard views. Up the timber stairs, and you enter the second living space. This, too, has a leafy outlook and separates the two large bedrooms. Both rooms have deep-silled sash windows, with the main bedroom looking out across a balcony and roof garden to the ocean beyond. It's a surprisingly strong ocean view with the swinging masts of the yacht club evoking the rich history and relaxed vibe of Fremantle.
There are further surprises across the courtyard, with the 3rd bedroom built within converted stables, retaining the beautiful timber-lined arched ceilings. Romantic stable doors echo the property's original purpose as a bakery, and a whole new level of romance can be found in the adjoining bathroom, where you can soak in a deep tub with a view over the courtyard to the house beyond.
If you are looking for more garden to nurture, the bones of an even more magnificent garden are here: There's a flight of stairs leading to the generous roof-garden above the garage, where you'll catch the breeze and ocean views. There's also a set of raised garden beds, perfect for veggies. Down below is a deep garden verge with a winding path to the front door.
This is a magical home that emanates character and joy, and it's perfectly positioned on the border of Fremantle. It's an easy distance to Wray Avenue, and close to all of Fremantle's local attractions.
