56 Annie Street, Beaconsfield WA 6162

Enjoying the best of both worlds by being nestled on a spacious, subdividable corner block (opposite a school) in the most wonderful of local communities. This enchanting 3 bedroom 1 bathroom plus extra WC character home is full of surprises and is largely surrounded by gorgeous established gardens, adding a sense of privacy and serenity to what really is a natural oasis of charm and flexibility.

The light and bright house itself has a space for everybody, where mum can be working in her office, the kids painting in the caravan-come-art studio outside, dad brewing beer in the workshop shed and the baby quietly napping inside.

Around half of the easy-care waterwise gardens are native, with a shady front courtyard the perfect place to absorb sensual summer sea breezes whilst listening to the sounds of chirping local birdlife singing away, up in the trees.

The laid-back ease of the layout and the general low-maintenance of the garden wraparound means that there is more time for family, creative and social times, here. An abundance of invigorating fresh air is created by bi-fold doors that link the terraced entry – beyond the gated front garden – to an open-plan living and dining area, where split-system air-conditioning and a ceiling fan complement feature ornate ceilings and internal double sliding doors off the foyer. An indoor-outdoor feel pervades this part of the home, along with views out to the garden and across to the park and school.

The high ceilings and solid wooden Jarrah floorboards continue into the connecting kitchen that is large in size and features double sinks, a range hood, a gas cooktop, a new Technika oven, a stainless-steel Bosch dishwasher, a breakfast bar for quick bites and plenty of greenery to take in through the window. A spacious front master is the pick of the bedrooms with its mirrored built-in wardrobes, split-system air-conditioning unit and large light-welcoming windows.

The carpeted second bedroom is also light-filled and has a ceiling fan, split-system air-conditioning and mirrored built-in robes of its own, whilst the third bedroom has a ceiling fan. A stylishly-renovated bathroom is made up of a bathtub with rain and hose showerheads, a separate second shower, a vanity, toilet and heat lamps.

The internal laundry is currently set up as another creative space for the kids, enabling access into the separate second toilet and outside – via French and security doors – to a standalone bathtub for some splashing fun with the backyard hose.

A huge sunken pitched patio area with two ceiling fans, an external laundry and gated access to the side garden means that parties are a given no matter what the weather or time of year, with heaps of room for drinks, a barbecue and bathroom access – with the rest of the home kept clean and separated by a barn door. When it gets dark, the children can go into the studio out the back and watch a movie, or simply retire to their own beds inside.

Next to the backyard lawn there is even a separate home office, shut off by double French doors and graced by low-maintenance timber-look floors. There are weeping-mulberry and lemon trees out back and orange and lime fruit trees out front.

The property is fenced the whole way around and the large gate to drive through off the second street frontage is electric, with a double carport and double lock-up garage (or powered workshop) beyond it. The rear alfresco area is also walled and gated all the way around, combining safety and ease when looking after smaller children or even pets, allowing you to get engrossed in gardening, painting or even having dance and exercise classes out the back – and without a worry in the world.

Stroll across the road with your warm cup of tea to collect the kids from Winterfold Primary School, or Christ the King Primary school on the same road, with those same grounds doubling as a lush park for the young ones to play in on weekends, as you watch on from the front garden – with coffee in hand. You can help yourself to some herbs and vegetables in the Annie Street Community Garden too, if you are lucky enough to get in before the rush.

All the amenities you could ever want or need are within a 10-minute walk or two-minute drive, including a doctor’s surgery, physiotherapist, The Grocer and the Chef, a pharmacy, bottle shop, a choice of takeaway and breakfast places and other lovely parks. Fremantle College is a just a two minute walk from the door and along the bike path gets you to Lefroy Road – and easy access towards Fremantle and the coast.

The list goes on, but one thing is for certain – this corner sanctuary truly is one of a kind!
