This immaculately restored and updated 1950s bungalow blends vintage Art Deco style with a creative beach-house aesthetic in a sought-after seaside suburb.
Some of the bespoke details you will find inside include Art Deco style etched glass with tropical themes, a modern spa-inspired bathroom, and grand over-sized windows that capture the sea breeze. The home is set well back from the road behind lush and cooling gardens and the raised front deck provides connection to this friendly vibrant community, a perfect spot to chat to neighbours and watch the world go by. From this fabulous walkable location, head down to the water for a morning walk or swim, and grab coffee or breakfast on your way home from a number of fabulous cafes and restaurants. Or head out for the night on foot to explore boutique bars and friendly local pubs.
A spacious front decked balcony and terrace set beneath a canopy of fragrant frangipanis provides the perfect place to BBQ with friends, enjoy alfresco meals, or drink a cuppa while you watch the world go by. A separate north-facing loungeroom at the front of the home offers high ceilings, a sweet wood heater for cosy nights in and can be closed off by sliding doors decorated with etched glass detail.
An expanse of cedar-framed windows bathe the rear kitchen, dining and sunroom in natural light. The original hearth framed by upcycled brickwork is a charming focal point of the space and houses a free-standing 900 wide Domaine oven with five burner gas cooktop. Industrial style elements continue throughout the kitchen with free-standing (removable) stainless-topped cabinetry and chrome circular hardware. A dishwasher completes the kitchen allowing for easy meal preparation and clean up. A relaxing adjacent sunroom opens outside to a sunny terrace that's enclosed for privacy.
A new spa-inspired bathroom features coastal grey terrazzo flooring, vertical wall tiles, a deep bathtub, timber vanity and a huge rain shower head. Three light-filled bedrooms are located nearby, each with oversized windows offering stunning garden views. Ceiling fans are fitted in two bedrooms, while the main includes a split system air-conditioning unit and built-in robes. The laundry (with a separate toilet) features stone-effect tiles and timber benchtops. And a hot and cold outdoor shower is tucked away in the tropical gardens, perfect for washing off sandy feet after a visit to the beach.
This Art Deco inspired beach house surrounded by flourishing gardens is set within the friendly South Fremantle community just metres from South Fremantle Marketplace. In the catchment for South Fremantle High School with a regular bus service that runs along Hampton Road.

South Fremantle is an established residential area within the City of Fremantle. Spanning two square kilometres, the land has harbour uses in the west sector as well as some commercial land use. Settlement of South Fremantle started in 1831 with growth taking place in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Expansion continued during the 1950s and 1960s and again in the early 1990s when new dwellings were added to the area.
With the Fremantle city centre just kilometres away, residents of South Fremantle will not want for things to do. South Beach is a major feature within the suburb, bringing to life its coastal appeal and there are plenty of local parks to explore. Other features of note are South Fremantle Shopping Centre, South Fremantle Market Place and Success Harbour Train Station, which provides convenient transport into Perth.
