1890s character, garden oasis
SOLD - BY STEFANIE DOBRO, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS!
Nestled below the street behind a screen of tall greenery, this 1890 home is full of atmosphere. Sensitively renewed with generous living space and a relaxing indoor/outdoor room, it has a feeling all its own. The garden is a wonderful surprise - it just keeps on unfolding, with a series of decks and paved spaces in a quiet, green environment that is a delight to experience. A few minutes’ walk around the corner is the South Terrace street life of restaurants, cafes and shopping, or you can take a refreshing dive into the ocean.
The veranda frames the historic exterior of double-hung sash windows either side of the original front door, with thick walls creating a serene feeling inside. The jarrah floors are a real feature - very wide boards in keeping with the early construction of the home. Three large, high-ceilinged bedrooms all have built-in robes, plantation shutters and contemporary lighting. Through the central hallway arch, the home really opens up to a finely designed living space, with cabinetry built in around the gas log fire. It all flows to the large kitchen/dining under a white-painted timber ceiling: lots of white cabinetry, big stainless steel range, and a lovely green outlook to the long garden.
The modern laundry and bathroom are nearby, and next to the kitchen is a clever extension of the home’s living space. A semi-enclosed sunroom has tall shutters stacking open to enjoy the leafy view, and steps down to the garden. To have such enchanting treed spaces in this urban location is a gift - rambling greenery, leafy trees, decks, lounging and dining spaces, and room for a pool if you wish. There’s a handy garden shed, original outdoor loo, hills hoist an outdoor shower, plus side access.
This is classic South Freo: history retained, interiors refreshed for the modern era, warm community, and all the joys of the beach life.
