Coastal Bungalow With Byron Style & Chilled Family Life
High ceilings, jarrah floors, breezy open-plan living and native garden views define the relaxed, boho-style, beach-house vibes of this charming Californian bungalow with elevated north-facing views to open parkland and towering trees, and the bonus inclusion of an outdoor shower and tub to stargaze and disconnect from the world.
Every aspect of this dreamy, white clad home is underscored by relaxed, family living – from the inclusive neighbourhood culture to the feeling of abundant open space enjoyed from the light dappled front garden - enclosed by a white picket fence and framed by a spectacular spotted gum where birdlife thrives.
The rear garden, with plenty of paving and timber planters, has endless potential for further developments if desired.
A swimming pool could be right at home down the west side of the property, and plans for a kitchen extension, workshop and carport have already been drawn and council approved.
Lush greenery frames the front veranda which reveals the home’s 1940’s and 50’s influences; a formal lounge room – featuring an original fireplace (with gas bayonet), and leadlight windows is the perfect sanctuary to unwind and relax, while the rear of the home is dedicated to light-filled open-plan living – with beach-style white wall panelling and garden access – and adjacent to a practical kitchen and dining area.
Each of the four bedrooms are spacious and well positioned with two located at the front of the home, and the remaining two leading off the rear extension which includes a generous laundry and separate toilet.
The home’s favourable aspect means golden sunsets can be enjoyed from the elevated rear porch, while refreshing sea breezes stream through every corner of the property, providing natural cooling in the summer months.
Other features include ceiling fans and robes in most bedrooms, a sunny, common bathroom, split-system air-conditioner to living, security mesh on all windows (security grill on doors), solar hot water roof panels and gas hobs in the kitchen. The verdant native garden is fully reticulated while an aggregate concrete driveway allows tandem parking, along with plenty of off-street parking via the street verge and a wide street frontage.
With a leafy park and playgrounds across the road, wide open streets for kids to play, and Palmyra Primary School (and Sunday’s Organic Famer’s Market) just a short stroll away, everything about living in this charming community feels like a cohesive country town – with a touch of Byron Bay hinterland charisma.
Every convenience option required is nearby, including Melville Plaza (Coles, chemist, bakery, liquor store and more), abundant take-away and dining options, leisure and fitness facilities, just a short walk to the river – and 7 minutes by car to the beach.
A regular bus service via Canning Highway stops at Fremantle station and Perth bus port. This unique property epitomises carefree family living, in a well-loved, practical home with years of happy memories created – and the promise of many more to come!
