27a Chalmers Street, Fremantle WA 6160

Behind a big old peppermint tree and a high stone wall is a delightful surprise: a two-storey brick and iron contemporary home with elegantly refreshed interiors flooded with northern light. Lime-washed Tasmanian oak floors and a fine new white kitchen are among the creative changes that have lifted this treasured home to something very special, with leafy outlooks everywhere to the lovely gardens. Two living areas, a study or play zone and secluded master suite downstairs make this a flexible home that works beautifully, in a sought-after city-side precinct. Stroll to the Monument, down to town, over to George Street restaurants and shopping, and walk to East Fremantle Primary or John Curtin College of the Arts.

Two grand magnolias preside over the front garden, with the feeling of a leafy retreat behind the limestone wall. A tranquil living room overlooks the garden, as does the master suite, with walk-through robe and generous en-suite featuring double vanity and bath.
The home opens up to a lofty double-height space, with a spectacular wall of glass to the north welcoming the light and the winter warmth. Step out to the northern alfresco, with a high-pitched roof and new poured limestone flooring, which wraps around the exterior. Beyond is the elegant open-plan living, framed by a series of angled windows with double doors to the north. The bright white kitchen is beautifully done, with engineered stone tops and white pressed tin splashbacks. The adjacent laundry is also freshly renovated, with separate toilet and exterior access. Upstairs, northern glass lights a carpeted landing space ideal for a study or play zone, leading to two bedrooms looking down to the garden below, plus a bathroom with bath.

This serene home is real find an increasingly desirable neighbourhood, where character homes sit alongside the cool new architecture and the creative enterprises of the Knutsford and Blinco Street zones.
