37 Carrington Street, Palmyra WA 6157

SOLD - MULTIPLE OFFERS - BY STEFANIE DOBRO, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS!

Offered for the first time in over 40 years and claiming prime position on Carrington Street, this 80s Italian-inspired architectural delight is instantly recognisable. Curved archways, a series of bottle-shaped balustrades and opulent columns across the wide verandas, all act as a wonderful ode to the bold design features of its era. Striking and majestic across spatial grounds on a rare full sized 1,046m2 block, its iconic facade enhances the rich history and culture imbued in this sought after suburb.

This block offers endless possibilities to renovate or refurbish this home further for modern living due to the solid structure and foundations - these Italian-style homes were built to last. Such a large sized block offers ample opportunity for those with creative vision; there’s potential to subdivide, extend out or build another level (STCA).

A classic concrete garden and fence-to-fence brick paving with garden beds of citrus and rose bushes, introduce the grand entrance of this home. Enter through the east facing veranda with its spectacular arched entranceway and floral motif timber door, to spacious interiors and further maximalist features including curlicue tiles, detailed cornicing, decorative timber posts, shagpile carpets and decorative ceiling roses.

A series of living, entertaining and dining spaces span this level, perfect to accommodate large family gatherings or host guests, with swinging café-doors between the rooms and even a corner bar. 1980s Italian vintage touches are evident in the curtains, wallpaper and flooring while ornate light fittings populate this home against a colour palette of light freshly painted walls, dark wood, amber yellows and earthy browns.

Three large bedrooms extend down the hallway with expansive views out the windows, two with access to the east facing veranda and built-in robes in the main bedroom. The original bathroom has a shower with an amber glass shower screen, bathtub, corner vanity and separate WC.

Retro elements continue in the kitchen; orange laminate bench tops, timber laminate cabinetry and an arched stove alcove that pays homage to traditional Italian kitchens. There’s an electric oven and stove top (with decorative ceramic covers for the hotplates), dishwasher and wooden pantry.

The full size of this block can truly be appreciated from the rear west facing balcony, overlooking a brick paved courtyard and large grassy area separated by a colourbond fence. There’s a generous sized workshop/shed in the corner with plenty of space to park a caravan, boat or trailer down the side accessed via a secure side gate.

Internal stairs leading down to the expansive garage area underneath the home offers an abundance of secure storage space with external roller door access. The options are unlimited to convert this area into a fully functional lower level with windows allowing natural light to flow through and a toilet and basin for added convenience. Large additional rooms and spaces here can be used as a fourth bedroom, hobby rooms, a wine cellar, a powered workshop, gym or even a home office.

This location enjoys easy walkability to shops, cafes, schools, parks and transport, and in close proximity to all services and amenities on your doorstep. Direct access to Fremantle by car, bus or bike and its beautiful beaches or the picturesque banks of the Swan River is less than 10 minutes away.

It’s rare to find an original block of this size, complete with a piece of WA’s cultural history. Rich in architectural nostalgia with endless potential, all within a prime location, there’s so much to love about this iconic Italian-inspired beauty.
