Admired for the aesthetic value it brings to the streetscape of the exclusive Plympton Ward, this reimagined federation bungalow honours the grace and charm of its gold-rush era heritage, whilst fusing modern, minimalist style into intentional flexible family living.
Soaring decorative ceilings, a romantic hallway arch, original jarrah floors and antique fireplaces frame exterior cues of tuck-pointed brickwork, an inviting bullnose veranda and exquisite ‘antique rust-effect’ cast iron fencing.
Extending from the grand hallway, three spacious bedrooms (two include original fireplaces) feature double-hung sash windows and stunning ceiling rose details. Off the hallway also sits a study or a great room for a nursery.
The rear extension sits under a dramatic skillion roof and several letterbox windows suffuse warm northern light into the open-plan living, kitchen and dining, along with stacker doors linking the alfresco. Coastal Scandi aesthetics, cascading glass sphere pendant lights and snowy white interiors continue through the rear extension and modern kitchen. Anchored by a generous island bench and engineered stone and European appliances including Miele oven, 4-burner gas stove and Asko dishwasher.
A single wall of stacker doors frames an expanse of timber decking, deciduous tree and a private alfresco clad in wall climbers and a vergola designed to moderate shade and sunlight and bring supreme outdoor comfort around the seasons.
A customised open-tread timber staircase reveals yet another layer of living and functional design. Polished concrete floors, bespoke timber screening and black framed stacker doors connect to the alfresco garden and over-flow pool, bringing industrial-chic style into this downstairs retreat inclusive of a bathroom and built-in cabinetry.
Both luxury bathrooms are appointed in quality Ikon tapware, timber veneer cabinetry and generous frameless showers with Dorf rain shower head combos, textured feature tiles and stony ceramic floor tiles.
This home is a style-lovers dream with faithful respect to its architectural heritage and discreet consideration to modern eco-friendly sensibilities.
Nothing comes close to living within the historic Plympton Ward community - walk just 2 minutes to George Street’s endearing café and lifestyle strip, stroll just 450 metres to the river, cycle to Port Beach and take the kids to the local primary school, just a brisk, 10-minute walk away.
