Set in the leafy Woodside Ward on a full quarter-acre (1,012sqm) Green Title block, 28 Irwin Street is one of those classic East Fremantle Federation homes that just feels right the moment you arrive. A white picket fence and wide wraparound verandah set the tone, while mature gardens and timeless Federation character make this a home you'll be proud to call yours.
Step through the leadlight front door and you're greeted by a beautiful arched hallway, lined with four generous rooms on either side. High decorative ceilings, immaculate jarrah floors and original fireplaces create a warm, welcoming feel. At the front of the house, the main bedroom, with its high ceilings, ornate fireplace, jarrah floorboards and large shuttered windows, really sets the tone for the remainder of the home.
To the rear, a contemporary open-plan addition by local architect Gerard McCann brings the home firmly into the 21st century. The family living area is light, relaxed and designed for everyday life, with quality built-in cabinetry, a wood combustion fire and a charming bank of timber and glass doors and windows that frame the garden.
The kitchen sits at the heart of the home with a smart, generous layout, dishwasher and plenty of storage. It connects beautifully to the informal living and dining areas and flows out to the courtyard and big backyard beyond, an easy space to imagine kids and pets roaming, weekend catch-ups with friends and, if you wish, a future pool.
With its combination of character, space and a highly sought-after location close to popular schools, local shops, cafes and the river foreshore, this is a substantial East Fremantle home that will serve its next family for many years to come.
