On an elevated block in the high part of Hilton, a 50s brick and tile has just been transformed with cool style, clean design lines, and serene indoor-outdoor living. Jarrah floors add character to the fresh white interiors, which include a brilliant new kitchen, bathroom and laundry, all finely equipped and beautifully designed. Rear laneway access adds flexibility, and there is even more scope to take it to the next level for ocean views across to Garden Island. It’s a quiet, neighbourly street and a really walkable location, with fresh produce, primary school, transport, and all the handy amenities nearby.
Exterior tones of white and deep grey hint at the total makeover you’ll discover inside. Beyond the fenced lawn and garden, step up to the jarrah veranda and classic etched glass doors and windows. Enter to a sense of space: long, high-ceilinged living and dining with original ceiling details, jarrah floors, wood combustion stove, air-conditioning, and built-in storage seating under a northern window. Ahead, floor to ceiling glass adds transparency and openness, as the room expands to the spectacular kitchen: masses of storage in touch-opening white cabinetry above and below, sleek Corian benchtops and sink, long central island, and a suite of high end appliances, including induction cooktop, integrated dishwasher, wall oven and grill.
Glass stacker doors make it even more spacious, opening up to the new jarrah deck. This is ideal outdoor living under a raked white ceiling, perched above immaculate lawn. Ceiling fans and automatic blinds make it an all-weather space, and there is more white cabinetry in the alfresco, with concrete benchtop, drinks fridge, and gas-plumbed barbecue. Inside, designer style continues in the beautiful bathroom, with freestanding bath, frameless glass shower, charcoal-toned tiling and a marble wall recess. There are two jarrah-floored bedrooms: the master with its own etched glass door to the veranda, and the second bedroom with air-conditioning and built-in robes.
At the bottom of the garden is a large workshop that can also serve as a garage, plus a grey-painted sea container offering all kinds of possibilities for office or playroom. Rear access is a bonus, with double gates to the laneway, and there is driveway parking for two cars out front. What an opportunity to enjoy a mid-century character home where all the work has just been done with such quality and taste.
