Nestled along a leafy, peaceful streetscape lined with character homes, you’ll find a classic 50s weatherboard cottage beautifully transformed for contemporary family living. Sitting pretty with an elevated aspect, imagine soaking up the sunshine with a morning coffee on the north-facing veranda or lounging out the back by the travertine-clad pool. It feels completely private yet close enough to all the action with Freo less than 10 minutes away and the welcoming community vibes of Valley living on your doorstep.
Step inside to historical charm effortlessly infused with modern style; jarrah floorboards flow throughout the original home, intricate ceiling roses populate the light fittings, white plantation shutters frame the windows and a black wood fireplace (against recycled, red bricks) in the front lounge room adds a homely touch. The kitchen is well-appointed with all the trimmings; waterfall island bench, soft-close cabinetry, and sleek appliances including a Miele dishwasher, electric oven and gas stovetop.
Everything just flows so well with the open-plan kitchen and dining leading to a huge undercover alfresco by the sparkling pool. Slide open the stacker door for seamless indoor-outdoor connection to the sheltered decking area where you can entertain with ease - there’s a built-in BBQ, bar fridge and outdoor tv point. The resort-style ambience creates such a laidback atmosphere while the terraced gardens, chicken coop, abundance of fruit trees and timber cubby house make the backyard a treasure trove of exploration for little ones.
Beyond the open-plan layout, a tranquil bedroom zone (sharing a large family bathroom) extends down the hallway with three good-sized bedrooms (all with ceiling fans) and a stunning master domain. Here, curtains glide open to unveil the pool below, adding to the sense of serenity in this peaceful parent’s retreat with private access to the outdoor decking. There’s soft carpet underfoot, a custom-designed walk in robe, air-conditioning unit, ceiling fan and luxurious ensuite for two with herringbone tiling, double vanity, toilet and a walk-in rainwater shower.
A wonderful bonus to this beautiful home is the huge studio out the back, easily converted to multi-generational living or an Airbnb offering (STCA). Currently used as a home gym and office, there’s a mezzanine level for storage, air-conditioning unit, large laundry with masses of storage, bathroom and external access to a drying courtyard. Nearby is a powered workshop with a roller door, workbenches and Sisalation under the roof - ideal for the home handyman to tinker away on projects.
Completing this home, eco-luxe fittings are accounted for with solar panels to keep power bills low and reverse cycle, ducted air-conditioning throughout ensuring year-round comfort.
Situated on a quiet, family-friendly street, this location is brilliant for its accessibility to Fremantle, the beach, weekend farmer’s markets, parklands, public transport and White Gum Valley primary school. It doesn’t get better than this with an exceptional lifestyle and location rolled into one.
A classic 50s beauty re-imagined for contemporary family living – this residence is a rare Valley find and won’t last long.
