Beyond the white picket fence and serene garden setting sits a picture-perfect presence in East Fremantle’s Woodside Ward. Fine Federation features from the tuckpointed brick and iron façade to the traditional bullnose veranda and gracious period interiors, harmoniously meet contemporary renewals within. It’s a beautiful family home nestled along a quiet, tree-lined street brimming with historical charm and perfectly positioned to stroll to the vibrant George Street and Silas Street precincts nearby, lush green parklands or the river.
Inside you’ll find lofty high ceilings, detail-rich cornices, elegant ceiling roses, gleaming Jarrah floorboards and ornate fireplaces that tastefully retain the integrity of this property’s 1910 origins. In keeping with tradition, two large bedrooms are positioned at the front of the home, with a third bedroom (currently used as a home office) nearby - each with stylish, white plantation shutters. A pair of sparkling chandeliers highlight the arched hallway outside the over-sized bathroom and concealed European laundry with an original clawfoot bathtub, shower, WC, vanity, decorative fireplace and masses of storage. There’s also exterior access to a paved courtyard with a garden shed and workbench space - perfect for tinkering away on home handyman projects.
The stunning extension unfolds to the heart of the home with a wonderful sense of space in the open-plan layout. The refined kitchen of generous proportions features high-end appliances, a walk-in pantry/wine room and breakfast bar ideal for interacting with family or guests while prepping meals. Recessed ceilings and wall niches are populated by downlights, while a series of bi-fold doors and louvre windows span the northern side embracing plenty of natural light and outdoor flow along the dining and sunken lounge.
Timber highlights exude warmth in the Sheoak floorboards and kitchen cabinetry, further echoed in the grand master domain with a custom-built, walk-in robe and sleek ensuite for two. The high ceilings continue in this enchanting haven of rest and relaxation with plush carpet underfoot and private bi-fold doors designed to enjoy the gardens and serene ambience. Complete comfort is catered to with ducted, reverse cycle air-conditioning throughout the home and peace of mind is provided by the security alarm system – not to mention the close-knit community feel of this welcoming neighbourhood.
Outside, timber decking surrounds rise above lush green lawn, perfect for children to play upon, bordered by a row of pretty flowering plum trees. The pitched roof alfresco creates an outdoor entertaining zone for all weather, further sheltered by café blinds and a shade sail, with a built-in BBQ, sink (plumbed in hot and cold water). Alongside the southern boundary, there’s tandem parking for three vehicles and an additional front door entry for convenience – pull in down the long driveway and take your shopping straight into the kitchen.
This lovely Federation bungalow has all the grace and charm of its era, thoughtfully renewed for modern family living in a supreme location – what a wonderful place to call home.
