11 Pilbarra Street, White Gum Valley WA 6162

From the big gum tree framing the classic weatherboard exterior to the pretty veranda sheltered behind leafy greenery – this is the perfect setting for a graceful character home, nestled along a historic streetscape. Right on the doorstep of Freo and South Freo, enjoy the city and coast close by, with an endearing community feel that makes the Valley such a special place to live.

Originally built c.1922, its history has been beautifully preserved: high-ceilinged bedrooms, rich jarrah floors, Oregon doors, even a darling ceiling rose or two. Two big bedrooms embrace their northern outlook, with a traditional fireplace to the master, while two more bedrooms peel off the hallway – all with ceiling fans and air-conditioning.

Beyond, the heart of the home is spectacular, drawing light, air and movement into the lofty open-plan, before spilling out to the big backyard filled with birdsong. The kitchen is finely appointed with stainless-steel appliances, white shaker-style cabinetry and brushed-brass handles, with a large central island, perfect for meal prep, lit by a pair of woven rattan pendants. There’s air-conditioning and a ceiling fan for comfort, while adjacent is the laundry with exterior access and the family bathroom with a separate toilet.

Flowing outdoors, that lofty feel continues with a huge pitched-roof alfresco sheltering the timber deck. It’s a gorgeous setting: imagine lazy long lunches, summer barbecues or simply unwinding at the end of the day while the kids play under the jacaranda. A studio in the corner adds versatility – artist’s room, creative space or home office – with storage alongside.

Capturing the timelessness of its early origins with plenty of modern touches woven throughout, this Valley treasure presents a wonderful opportunity to make it yours.
