51 Watkins Street, White Gum Valley WA 6162

This mid-century home in the valley with an ancillary dwelling is set on a large 821 metres square block. Some original features (and some later additions) create warm, vintage inspired internal spaces with decorative ceilings, terrazzo tiling, stained glass, and timber floorboards.

Privately set back behind a timber and limestone wall, enter the home via a shaded front verandah into a large separate loungeroom with a wood burning stove. Art Deco glass sliding doors open into a passageway that leads to a dining/ sitting area with lots of character and wide windows that fill the space with natural light. The retro theme continues in the spacious kitchen with terrazzo tiling and mint green cabinetry with a crisp white trim. Meal preparation will be a breeze with a large free-standing oven with a five-burner gas cooktop and plenty of cabinet and bench space.

Four well sized bedrooms are serviced by two bathrooms, one with stained glass feature window and the other with a unique curved shower screen.

Hidden at the rear of the block a private, self-contained limestone cottage provides a flexible living space perfect for a teenager's retreat, guest accommodation or a source of income as short term accommodation with separate entry and parking. Inside you will find a fully functional kitchen, separate full-size bedroom, and a bathroom downstairs. With a bonus living space and bedroom upstairs with views over White Gum Valley from its very own balcony. The cottage is separately metered to track electricity usage.

In the backyard, a decked alfresco area with café blinds would create a lovely sunroom in winter. A second deck area sits amongst bountiful gardens full of edible plants including lemon, orange, pomegranate, olive, passionfruit, and red grape vines. There is also a raised herb bed so you can pluck culinary ingredients fresh from the garden.

This exceptional home offers charming vintage character, several indoor and outdoor living spaces, and a self-contained ancillary dwelling in close proximity to Booyeembara park, South Beach and central Fremantle. Approximately five minutes' drive to Gilbert's Fresh Market for fresh produce, Coles Hilton, and White Gum Valley Primary School.
