66 Sewell Street, East Fremantle WA 6158

Just steps from historic George Street, both the owner and architect overdelivered in their vision for an intentional home not only sympathetic to the surrounding streetscape, but generous in spatial flow, natural light and serene spaces to unwind or entertain.

From the exterior, classic boat house aesthetics of deep indigo cladding alongside pops of white and silvered timber decking evoke beach-house vibes, while within, the earthy interior is a cocoon of harmonious Zen.

Expansive picture-frame windows, engineered oak floors and locally crafted fittings using Balinese stone and rich American walnut add to the allure of this coveted passive solar design.

Discreetly set back from view, a bespoke entrance door, made locally with solid steel and glass, sits seamlessly alongside a wall of stacker doors intended to create gentle light and airflow to the core of the home. Framing a wall garden of tropical ferns and greenery, a peaceful study nook also shares these calming views.

From the front, a spacious living room continues the theme of solid glass and louvers. Doors open to the front veranda with lofty street elevation and subtle privacy, while the interior honours an organic earthy mood of Painted Earth limewash and a textured grass-paper accent-wall in warm linseed tones.

A skylight illuminates the iron-framed staircase before moving past a powder room to the open-layout kitchen, dining and sitting, plus a sunny courtyard garden at the rear of the home. American walnut cabinetry, black granite benchtops and a fabulous, hammered copper basin (sourced from Bali), furnish the single-wall kitchen clad entirely in Smeg appliances (wall oven, warmer & microwave plus a 5-burner gas stovetop), along with a scullery/European laundry, basin and loads of storage for dry goods.

Cobblestone paving, a bamboo wood canopy and limestone highlights complete the charming courtyard garden with a sunny northern aspect and step up to the perfect patch of lawn – replete with a handy integrated storage seat to soak up the rays.

Upstairs, letterbox windows maximise cooling sea breezes and natural light to the landing, linking bedrooms either side and fitted with an extra study nook.

A sumptuous beach villa mood fills the huge open-plan master, allowing full appreciation of the ensuite bathroom along with balcony access. A palette of paper-bark hued ceramic tiles, dreamy sheer drapes, a rattan-textured accent wall, custom-made double vanity (clad in steel & Balinese stone basins), a free-standing Balinese-sourced egg bath and huge rain-head walk-in shower culminate in pure retreat vibes.

Two secondary bedrooms, each with mirror-inlaid built-in-robes and laid in playful artificial grass for the kids share a luxury bathroom with a bespoke custom vanity and over-sized shower.

Also included is rainwater storage, off-street parking, key-coded entry and energy efficient double-glazed windows.

Admired for its eclectic streetscape and endearing village community, this residence is located in one of the most sought-after corners of the historic Plympton Precinct.

Walk to the river and sea, stroll to the local primary school or drive to Fremantle in less than 5 minutes, plus enjoy cafes, bars, specialty boutiques, bakeries, wellness studios and more - all at the end of the street… you’ll rarely want to leave!
