Historic Charm, Ocean Views

An early 1900s brick and iron classic retains its historic atmosphere, with a two-storey addition offering ocean views. Step out to the deck up high, and look over to Garden Island, the masts of the Fishing Boat Harbour, and the cranes of the port in the distance, while enjoying the cooling sea breezes. Rear access from a lane via Carnac Street is a real bonus in this cityside location, offering easy parking. Inside are the large gracious rooms, high ceilings and jarrah floors of the era, and the traditional bullnose veranda to sit and enjoy this friendly neighbourhood.

Two lovely original bedrooms span the central hallway, with ceiling roses and tall double hung sash windows facing the veranda for the morning sun. The home opens to the spacious north-facing living room with a cast iron fireplace, and a third large bedroom nearby continues the traditional features. The kitchen offers a green, leafy outlook to the expansive backyard. Step through to the addition: bathroom, laundry and a separate toilet. There’s plenty of room for kids to play on the lawn, with olive trees, grapevine, outdoor loo in working order, and a large workshop/garage. Additional paved parking in front of the garage leads to the rear lane, where you can walk around the corner to Wray Avenue cafes and shopping.

Inside, up the timber stair, is a large space with exposed beams in the raked ceiling, timber floors, ceiling fan, and total flexibility. It could be a second living area, fourth bedroom, artist’s studio, or a fabulous office, all with ocean views before your eyes as you step out to the deck above the garden.

In the same family for nearly 50 years, this is a much-loved home that is updated but not overdone, so there is potential for you to add your own style. You can’t go wrong in this elevated location that has so much to offer: walk to schools, shopping, parks and entertainment, and enjoy being so close to the beach for summer.
