2/122 Petra Street, Bicton WA 6157

Garden townhouse by the Swan

The river sparkles at the end of the street, and a few moments’ walk up the hill from the water you’ll find a tempting opportunity to secure a place in this exclusive spot on the East Fremantle border. Secluded at the rear in a small group of three townhouses, on a sprawling 1391sqm block, is a two-storey home that feels like a garden oasis: north-facing, looking out to curving lawn and tall trees, and with glimpses of the river beyond. This 70s brick-and-tile townhouse has been completely refreshed inside and feels light and bright, and an inspired outdoor transformation at the rear has created a generous space for entertaining. What a location: a stroll to Bicton Baths, tennis and cricket clubs, walks along riverside parkland, fine local schools, and a range of excellent shopping, cafés and services just down the road.

It's a lovely surprise to discover such beautifully serene and expansive gardens, set right back from the street. This townhouse is ideally positioned to enjoy that setting, as the living space opens to a northern sitting area to relax amongst the trees and the green outlooks. The air-conditioned living flows to the dining area and kitchen: genuine granite tops, breakfast bar, gas cooktop, new oven, and lots of white cabinetry. Those fresh stylings continue in the laundry, and there is a separate toilet on ground level.

Outside, a limestone wall frames a private alfresco area and curved raised garden bed, leading to an indoor-outdoor room. The high-pitched roof, timber floor, and stainless steel-topped barbecue zone with cabinetry make this a great place for gatherings, and is a clever extension of the home’s living space.

Upstairs you'll discover three bedrooms and a bathroom with glossy grey cabinetry and separate toilet. Two bedrooms, with built-in-robes, open to the northern balcony, with a treehouse feeling above the garden and across to the blue of the river.

There is ample parking, with a single garage (including mezzanine storage and separate workshop/storage room), paved space for another vehicle out front, and visitor parking too. Then just walk around to the secret garden, and enjoy your own secluded spot in this wonderful location by the river.
