Stunning Extension on a Classic Weatherboard Home

Live in a dream location minutes to the river, dining and entertainment and enjoy the best of old and new in this charming, fully renovated weatherboard home with stunning modern extension.

Originally built in 1953 and completely restored and extended, this four bedroom, two bathroom house offers nothing left to do except move in, relax and enjoy the lifestyle this wonderful location brings.

A short walk to the iconic George Street dining and retail precinct, steps to Richmond Quarter and beloved local eateries like Sweetwater and May Street Larder, and minutes to the river, beaches, Fremantle CBD, sporting facilities and clubs, here you could find yourselves leaving the car home for days. In the catchment for Richmond Primary School and John Curtin College, the home is perfect for a family, but also ideal for a professional couple, downsizers or retirees.

On a 511sqm block opposite a treed dog exercise park, the house sits beyond a tall, manicured hedge with white picket gate. The hedge creates privacy; a peaceful haven the moment you walk up the front steps. The weatherboard elevation is a delight, with a timeless white and seafoam colour scheme that showcases the woodwork. Take your morning coffee to the front veranda and enjoy the succulent gardens.

Inside, original polished jarrah floorboards, character ceiling details, chair rails and brass hardware continue the warm and welcoming feel. The layout offers great separation between the main suite and the minor bedrooms, giving good longevity and versatility. Two lovely large bedrooms flank the front hall. One has a brick fireplace surround and French doors, and is currently used as a lounge. A third bedroom has great north-facing light and white Plantation shutters.

Fresh and modern, the renovated family bathroom has geometric blue and white tile floors and bath with shower overhead. Nearby is a linen press and a funky industrial style laundry, with vintage concrete trough sink.

The original hallway flows into the extension; a spectacular open-plan living with polished concrete floors and soaring ceilings. Light-filled and inviting, with polished concrete floors, this room receives northern light year-round.

Entertainers will love the scope to open up the living to the beautiful lush tropical gardens. Paved with stone and fully landscaped, the gardens have a patio, lounging corner, graffiti mural, outdoor shower and storage sheds. Entertaining here is easy - host Christmas or Easter lunch, candlelit dinners or birthday parties. Or just have friends round for wine and fish and chips while the kids run on the lawn and play in the cubbyhouse (painted to look like a mini replica of the house).

The kitchen is a dream, with Caesarstone benchtops, classic white cabinets, diamond tile splashback and the centrepiece - a 900mm white Smeg oven with six burner gas cooktop and concealed rangehood. A tidy scullery offers more prep space and pantry storage. A brushed brass sink, Phoenix mixer and hardware complements the brass chandelier. Not a detail has been overlooked in this remarkable renovation, and the soaring lined ceilings are a highlight, beset with whitewashed beams. Recycled red bricks from the property were salvaged and now form a feature wall that runs from inside to out.

Tucked at the back of the home is the main suite. With its thick carpeting, generous walk-in robe and garden access, it feels like you could be in a down south retreat. A pink terrazzo floor is set off by a herringbone feature wall in the ensuite, which has a walk-in rainshower and stylish twin vanity with white tapware.

The home has reverse-cycle and split system air-conditioning, solar panels and gated driveway parking for two cars.

This dreamy home is even better in person.
