Rising from the river at one end to East Fremantle Primary at the other, this is Plympton’s favourite street. It’s home to layers of history, including this big-hearted, two-storey brick and tile, solidly built in the 1970s. You can really spread out here, with a generous configuration that works well for teenagers or extended/blended family. Full of light and flexible spaces, with large rooms and two living areas, the home flows out to two expansive terraces at the rear, with treed views over the rooftops and a wonderful sense of elevation and openness. George Street restaurants and boutique shopping are around the corner, you can walk to riverside parkland, and it’s a five minute drive to the beach.
Out front, there’s a Mediterranean atmosphere with terraced limestone beds, frangipani and rustic timber paving. Inside, a wall of windows to the front courtyard brings light into a long, spacious bedroom, and beyond is a large living room with study nook. The dining space has glass sliding doors to the north, and connects through a curved opening to the big blue family kitchen – friendly and functional, with more northern light and a walk-in pantry.
The laundry is extra-large, with a shower room incorporated, so you can come in from the side to wash the sand off after the beach. Also on this level are a separate toilet and a secluded bedroom or ideal study, with a lovely outlook to the back garden. A bright living room opens out to a timber deck, sitting above the lawn and the fig tree.
There’s much more upstairs: a master bedroom with en-suite and walk-in-robe features a Juliet balcony, as well as an adjacent little enclosed terrace overlooking the street. Beyond are the family bathroom and two more bedrooms, culminating in the extensive paved terrace that is the home’s most spectacular feature. Look out over the treed landscape of the neighbourhood, perhaps put the ping-pong table out here in summer, and make the most of this vast space for outdoor relaxation and entertaining.
Plenty of personality, big rooms, a flexible layout and those outdoor terraces make this a tempting proposition in the Plympton neighbourhood, where space is at a premium. Spread out and enjoy, or consider your fresh approach to making 56 Glyde your own.
