SOLD AT AUCTION by Carlie Baker - White House Property Partners
Nestled along a quiet street, this 1970s traditional brick and tile home is filled with warmth and seamless connection to the outdoors at every opportunity. The enchanting front garden of succulents and native blooms, headlined by a majestic New Zealand Christmas tree with colourful bursts of red, sets the scene for what awaits within this family sanctuary in a highly walkable location close to so much.
A lead-light front door opens up to vinyl plank floorboards throughout, charming arched doorways, a front living room with an elegant ‘Scandia’ wood-fire place, and an open-plan kitchen and dining at the heart of it all. The kitchen has been renewed with marble stone benchtops, navy blue and white cabinetry, a pull-out tap above the double sink and sleek appliances including a dishwasher, electric stove and oven.
In the main bedroom, dappled sunlight filters through the alcove windows with lovely treed outlooks. There’s also a generous walk-in robe for two (with sliding door access outside) and a stylish ensuite. Bedroom two extends down the hallway, while bedroom three is tucked away in the east-wing of the house making it ideal for guests. They each have built-in robes and share the bathroom, with a separate WC in the spacious laundry.
Step outside where a magical garden oasis unfolds at every turn. There’s daily visits from a variety of local birdlife; kookaburras, magpies, mud larks, crows, butcher birds and a friendly pair of willy-wagtails. Adding to the serenity, you’ll even discover some resident goldfish in the natural ‘billabong’ by the pool. The manicured lawns are perfect for kids and pets to play on, safely behind secure fencing, while a pomegranate tree and little herb garden provide edible delights throughout the year.
After a dip in the ‘Enviroswim’ freshwater pool (with no need to rinse off after), lounge across the timber arbour with a book in hand, or comfortably host get-togethers with loved ones underneath the huge, pitched-roof alfresco. The built-in bbq has convenient benchtop surrounds and ample storage for utensils, cutlery and crockery - this outdoor zone was made for entertaining and does it so well.
Secluded at the rear is the bonus studio - ideal as a hobby room, home office or artist’s workshop. Beyond this, golden cane palms lead the way to another sheltered space with a row of walled archways filled with flourishing plants, bamboo screening, an AV point, outdoor heater, and a free-standing, clawfoot bath to soak in.
Completing this home is the single carport with plenty of room to park another car, trailer, boat or caravan, roof solar panels for the gas system, reverse cycle air-conditioning units and ceiling fans for year-round comfort.
This pocket of Hamilton Hill is conveniently close to everything. A short walk away is the local primary school, public transport options and Phoenix Shopping Centre with a range of shops, services and amenities. The sprawling parkland at Manning Reserve is close by, as well as Coogee beach and the buzz of Fremantle less than 10 minutes away.
Serenity awaits in this peaceful family home; idyllic gardens bursting with birdlife, an abundance of indoor and outdoor zones, and a superb location.
