Beyond the white picket fence and private hedges, an idyllic, coastal sanctuary awaits. A pair of olive trees frame the garden of rose bushes and native shrubs, guiding you towards the heritage-tiled pathway and veranda that nods to the history within. Country-style charm effortlessly blends with period features; original Jarrah floorboards, high ceilings, intricate ceiling roses and decorative cornices with warm, homely timber finishes throughout. It captures that down-south feeling so well, with all the perks of Freo city life on your doorstep.
Nestled at the front of the home are three good sized bedrooms; the east-facing rooms enjoy lovely, garden outlooks (one with French doors, a ceiling fan and a/c unit), the other with a feature fireplace, built-in shelving, and a sliding, mirrored built-in robe. The third bedroom also has a ceiling fan and is styled with decorative, navy wallpaper - sitting adjacent to the family bathroom with a bath, rainwater shower, toilet and vanity.
Jarrah floorboards lead the way to the kitchen where the heart of the home unfolds spectacularly; lofty pitched timber ceilings, raked windows, and a series of French doors that open out to the alfresco and gardens below. The huge walls of glass provide your very own nature’s window; watch beautiful sunsets pour through, moody storms roll in, or local bird life enjoying the pockets of lush greenery.
The country-style kitchen is a central hub for home-cooked meals and is well-appointed with timber bench tops, white panelled cabinetry, louvre windows and appliances including a 5 burner gas stovetop, electric oven and dishwasher.
Step down to more rustic charm; a black enamel fireplace in the corner and over-sized tiles leading to recycled red-brick pavers outside. With seamless indoor/outdoor flow, imagine dinner parties with loved ones, summer BBQs, or hosting annual family get-togethers with plenty of space for everyone.
Wander further down to discover flourishing vegetable beds, citrus trees, an outdoor shower (perfect with the beach only 5 minutes away) and a powered workshop with running water. With such a serene backdrop in complete privacy, this is a peaceful space to tend to your garden oasis, work on projects in the shed, or read a book in the sun.
Completing the lower level is a fourth bedroom tucked away with a built-in robe and pretty French doors, a stunning art-deco style bathroom with matte black fixtures and a rainwater shower, and a spacious laundry with masses of storage.
Beaconsfield is renowned for its close-knit, community spirit; The Grocer & The Chef down the road throw a Christmas party and concert each year, while Halloween celebrations have been known to shut down the entire street for families to come together. There’s easy walkability to the Freo Farmer’s Markets, shops, restaurants, cafés, public transport and local schools with beautiful beaches nearby.
With envious coastal proximity, this is a delightful country-style sanctuary filled with warmth, character and charm; what a wonderful opportunity to make it your own.
