Epitome of Designer Coastal Living | Timeless Deco Bungalow

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | Double Garage | Guest House 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom

Hidden beyond a private wall on a generous corner allotment, a chic, coastal oasis unfolds. Framed by dramatic, succulent gardens, dreamy, whitewashed interiors and sunlit courtyards, each element is artfully appointed to seamlessly accentuate the timeless appeal of this enchanting Art Deco bungalow - further complemented by an adjacent, self-contained guest house, designed for considered, flexible living.

Meticulously restored to honour the home’s original period features while embracing a breathtaking designer aesthetic, this blissful retreat achieves a rare and effortless harmony. Black Japan timber floors provide a striking contrast against an interior palette of custom-blended ‘Snowy Mountain’ white and soft, natural finishes.

Beyond the secure entrance gate, a beautifully carved Kartique Indonesian door opens to a world of relaxed beach-house luxury. A pergola-framed courtyard leads to the formal entry, bordered by Black Japan-stained timber decking and a crisp white stucco-and-weatherboard façade.

Soaring ceilings, adorned with exquisite Art Deco detailing, feature at the front of the home, where two generous secondary bedrooms lead to a fully restored open-plan living area (with French door access to the courtyard), kitchen, and semi-enclosed dining and sunroom.

Anchored by a substantial, pure-white stone island and matching countertops, the kitchen combines luxe beach-house style with effortless practicality. Pearly herringbone splashback tiles complement extensive white veneer & timber handled cabinetry and premium appliances, including a Bosch induction cooktop and 90cm Westinghouse oven, while an integrated sink and Blanco dishwasher complete the island bench.

A recent addition, the sublime master suite - discreetly tucked away from view - stands as one of the home’s true highlights. Accessible via the dining room through a cosy study nook, beautifully framed by an East-West timber carved wall cabinet with integrated power outlets, a step down reveals a sunken, hotel-style retreat.

Double-glazed windows, dressed in billowy soft white drapes, flood the space with natural light, while pebble-hued solution-dye nylon loop-pile carpet and a half-wall shiplap bedhead complement a full-wall, custom-designed wardrobe with pull-out racks, drawers, and built-in shelving.

The spa-inspired ensuite is richly appointed in stone-hued, floor-to-ceiling encaustic tiles. Luxurious features include a generous dual-head walk-in rain shower, heated towel rail & ceiling exhaust, raw timber-effect veneer cabinetry, and a stone-topped vanity with a modern mirror and pill-shaped shaving cabinet.

Completing the home’s rear section is a practical laundry with a powered appliance cupboard, a second sunroom, and a secondary bathroom/powder room featuring a modern freestanding shower-tub with a relaxed beach-house style.

Connected by a central walkway, the adjacent guest house exudes a cozy beach-shack vibe, with pine timber floors, an open-plan kitchen and dining area, quality appliances, and driftwood-hued finishes. Upstairs, a loft-style living room and separate bedroom feature soaring coved ceilings and sun-filled views above the rooftops.

Rare for South Fremantle, this extraordinary home also offers an automatic double garage and off-street parking for several vehicles. Just metres from the iconic Dolce & Salato café, a short stroll to South Beach, or the eclectic lifestyle strip along South Terrace, it embodies the pinnacle of designer seaside living.
