A Plympton Icon Reimagined

Standing as a proud sentinel of the Plympton Ward, Glenlyon is a reimagined masterpiece that harmoniously blends turn-of-the-century heritage with a bold, contemporary soul.

As one of an exclusive row of four terraces designed by renowned Melbourne architect Norman Hitchcock, the home is a masterclass intern of the turn of the century craftsmanship, showcasing intricate decorative details from the sculptural female heads on the dividing walls to the striking chariot wheels framing the upper pediment.

Behind the classic white picket fence and Ashlar limestone and tuckpointed facade, the home opens through its magnificent original front door into the elegant interiors where wide oregon floorboards, high decorative ceilings and an arched gallery-like hallway set a sophisticated tone. Two generous front bedrooms, complete with original fireplaces and built in robes, maintain the home's historic integrity, while the clever addition of skylights flood the hall and central living area with a newfound luminosity.

Practical luxury continues with a stunning family bathroom and sleek, European-style laundry that offers a unique connection to a private drying court, featuring an outdoor tub for soaking under the stars.

The transition from old to new is marked by an exquisite black steel and glass arched door, leading you into a breathtaking two-story rear wing. Here, the heart of the home reveals a custom designer kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful, featuring soft green cabinetry, fluted timber accents and a suite of high-end integrated Neff and Liebherr appliances. Engineered stone benchtops and a Billi tap for instant boiling water ensure the space is equipped for the modern epicurean, while a clever glass northern void and massive stacker doors dissolve the boundaries between the indoors and the private rear courtyard. This outdoor sanctuary is an entertainer's dream, complete with built-in bench seating, a barbecue area and secure rear laneway access to the car bay and a substantial storage area.

Upstairs, the master suite serves as a secluded retreat, boasting a walk-in robe and a lavish ensuite with a deep freestanding bath.

More than just a residence, 50 King Street offers a lifestyle of unparalleled convenience, situated just steps from the vibrant George Street hub. Whether it is a morning coffee at a local cafe, a sunset run along the river or an evening at one of East Fremantle's acclaimed restaurants, everything is at your doorstep.

This is a rare opportunity to become the next storyteller for an architectural icon that truly delivers on the dream of sophisticated, low-maintenance cosmopolitan living.
