39 Irwin Street, East Fremantle WA 6158

Historic elegance, abundant family space

A substantial residence in the leafy Woodside precinct embraces family life with generosity and style. With a pool, two living areas, a great range of outdoor entertaining spaces, gracious formal dining, expansive kitchen and elegant bathrooms, there is room for everyone to enjoy the charming atmosphere of this historic home in a quietly welcoming East Fremantle neighbourhood.

Beyond the ornate iron fencing and automatic entry gate, curved gardens of Chinese tallow, plum, roses and grevilleas lead to the classic return veranda of this 1920s brick and iron home. Inside, jarrah floors, hallway arches and high ceilings lead to two elegant bedrooms overlooking the veranda, with luxurious drapes framing the traditional double-hung sash windows. One has built-in robes around the fireplace, and the other features a beautiful en-suite, plus a walk-in robe adjacent.

The hallway opens to two lovely connected rooms spanning the width of the home and filled with northern light: a living room with gas log fireplace, and a wide arch leading to the dining room, opening through French doors to the wraparound veranda. Indoor-outdoor connection on all four sides is a real feature of this home, including a high-roofed space off the kitchen, perfect for the ping pong table. The big family kitchen, with extensive jarrah cabinetry, island bench and casual dining, makes the most of the northern light and looks over the open-plan living below. There, French doors on two sides open up to a series of roomy alfresco spaces for lounging, dining and entertaining. Limestone paving leads to the saltwater pool; there’s lawn for backyard cricket; a firepit, and the garden is productive too, with olive, cumquat, lemon, orange, grapefruit, mandarin and lime. A brick studio is perfect for a den or workshop, and the extra-high garage will accommodate a boat. Back inside, there are two more bedrooms at the rear of the home, another beautiful bathroom, and a fine laundry with great storage.

With abundant warmth and atmosphere, and plenty of space indoors and out, this is a wonderful family home in a lovely street lined with historic homes. There is easy access to fine local schools, and the river, parks, cafes, shopping and central Fremantle are all nearby.
