South Freo Bliss: Beautiful Gardens, Indoor-Outdoor Flow
SOLD BY CONNIE HANDCOCK, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS
In a leafy street close to all the action of South Terrace, life unfolds with gentle ease. Shady gardens cocoon the front and rear, offering your pick of spots for relaxation or play, while inside is simply serene. Originally built c.1913, this is a home brimming with character: century-old features matched in charm by magnificent mature trees, wonderful space for entertaining or busy family life, and indoor-outdoor flow so good even the birds sometimes say hello. This location is fabulous too. With the beach minutes away, a never-ending rotation of shops, eateries, and bars to explore, and a strong sense of community, it’s easy to see why this coastal pocket is so loved.
Out the front, oversized limestone pavers, sculpted from original boulders, weave around native plantings and a peppermint tree towards the traditional north-facing veranda. The classic tuck-pointed brick exterior hints at the history within: jarrah floors, sweeping high ceilings, ornate ceiling roses, and leadlight windows. Two bedrooms sit at the front of the home, one with split-system air, alongside the nearby master with walk-in robe. All three bedrooms have ceiling fans.
Open-plan living defines the heart of the home, with a skylit kitchen, casual dining area, and lounge that flows outdoors to a vast backyard. Split-system air sits above, and the kitchen is accented by a mix of stainless-steel and sage, with a Miele dishwasher, 900mm De’Longhi oven, and filtered water tap. Just behind is a study, easily converted into a fourth bedroom or butler’s pantry, adding flexibility. Nearby, the laundry is tucked away with a sweet bathroom, complete with clawfoot bath.
Beyond, it’s all about the green outlooks: landscape architect designed gardens, treed canopies, succulent and stone beds, endless lush lawn, and trees including olive, ornamental plums, Chinese tallow, and a 100-year-old fig. Below the shade of the fig tree, this vast garden oasis offers the perfect place to unwind and find rest within the bustling South Fremantle. Jarrah bifolds stack open to the alfresco and timber decking, while recycled red bricks form a patio – making home entertaining a breeze. There’s room to extend, add a pool or granny flat (STCA), and along the fence line, vibrant edible delights – oregano, basil, chilli, curry, guava, lime, lemon, mandarin, passionfruit, and more – will satisfy any keen chef.
Other features include solar power, a rear garden shed, front storeroom, secure gated parking along the driveway, and provisions for an EV charger. Architect-designed plans are also available to inspire: convert the front storeroom and study into a magnificent master suite with ensuite and walk-in robe.
This is the South Freo dream: character and charm with all the modern comforts, and a huge backyard with endless potential – all in a brilliant location close to everything.
