Quietly nestled behind a screen of tall greenery and rambling gardens across wide verges, sits this charming home of yesteryear. Bursts of colour from native wisteria and surrounding grevillea on the brink of bloom unveil pathways curving towards the north-easterly veranda. This is a prime 868m2 corner block with elevated views across the Valley and convenient access to all the necessities for easy, modern living.
Period features accentuate the character of this 1950s home throughout; polished Jarrah floorboards, sweeping high ceilings and a red-bricked fireplace. Freshly painted white interiors provide a crisp, clean contrast to timber floorboards extending down the hallway to three, original bedrooms with either a ceiling fan, reverse cycle air-conditioning unit, or both, for year-round comfort.
The lounge sits separately at the front of the home, providing an idyllic space to curl up with a book or warm cup of coffee in front of the cosy fire place, enjoying leafy-green outlooks from the window. There’s also another reverse cycle air-conditioning unit here.
The beautifully renovated kitchen and dining adds contemporary style with fine finishings; timber bench tops, white soft-close cabinetry, gold fixtures and a neat, tiled splash-back. The original Metters wood-fired stove (in working condition) evokes a wonderful sense of nostalgia while high-end appliances include a Miele dishwasher and electric oven, and a Beko gas stovetop. Continuing through, the family bathroom features a bath-tub with shower, vanity and separate toilet with the laundry adjacent.
Coaxing you towards it, the outdoor deck is a standout feature of this home with breath-taking south-westerly views; ocean glimpses in the distance and the twinkling cranes at Fremantle Port. Sunsets drench the deck in golden hues while the elevated position makes the most of the Freo Doctor breeze.
Below, you’ll find more rambling gardens, established citrus trees, limestone retaining walls, paved courtyards and a huge powered shed. The current owners have even acquired planning approval for a studio out the back, providing the option of multi-generational living or an income stream from an Air BnB offering, with plenty of off-street parking available.
This location is another bonus; there’s easy walkability to public transport, shops, cafés and lush green parklands including Booyeembara Park and the Community Orchard. Fremantle and its vibrant street-life is a short 5 minute drive with your pick of beautiful beaches too. The Valley is centred around seamless integration to the natural environment and fostering a close-knit neighbourhood; local children play together while friendly neighbours often throw street parties and host community events.
