Deco meets modern: refreshed with style

The sharp deco stylings of a solid brick-and-tile from the 1940s fit perfectly with a modern makeover, including a white open-plan kitchen and two spacious bedrooms each with its own dressing room or study space. High ceilings, jarrah floors, leadlights and an extravagant curved fireplace all add character and flair, with a northern orientation and stately Norfolk Island pines lining the street.

Set back on the block, with a picket fence framing the front lawn, the classic front elevation features an aggregate-floored front veranda and the ornate leadlights of the era.
Jarrah floors flow inside, and north-facing windows welcome the light to the generous living room. Deco ceiling embellishments and original timber features are retained and painted white, and the curvy fireplace is spectacular. Sliding leadlight doors lead to the open-plan kitchen and dining, with a big engineered stone breakfast bar at the heart of it. This is a beautifully designed and functional space, with crisp white cabinetry in Shaker style, mosaic subway tile splashbacks, big pantry, induction cooktop, stainless steel dishwasher and cool light fittings.

Down the jarrah hallway, each of the two carpeted bedrooms has the unusual advantage of opening to its own dressing room or study. Nearby is a chic black-and-white bathroom with bath. Behind the kitchen, a sunroom or activity space leads to the laundry, also renewed with white cabinetry, timber tops, separate toilet and great storage. Step down to the outdoor area at the rear, with built-in seating for entertaining around the barbecue. The garden shed is around the corner, and the driveway offers tandem parking for two cars.

West of Carrington Street, between Booyeembara and Hilton Park and with central Fremantle down the road, this is an easy choice - ready to move in with the work already done in fine style.
