Warm family home on large block in wonderful community

There’s a down south feeling to this warm family home with expansive landscaping framed in stone, complete with a timber cubby and chook run at the bottom of the garden. It’s all green seclusion on a large block in a lovely treed street, but in a convenient location where you can walk to East Fremantle Primary or stroll over to George Street cafés and boutique shopping. All on one level, in natural brick and iron with flooded-gum timber floors, this is a really generous family home where a series of living spaces culminates in the open-plan with an ideal northern orientation, flowing to a long backyard for entertaining and play.

Beyond a wide verge, a creatively curved limestone wall shelters terraced native gardens that screen the home and create a peaceful green setting. Inside, the timber-floored entry leads to two flexible rooms defined by a low wall, with the opportunity to configure for study, playroom, formal dining, second living, or whatever you need. Beyond is the very spacious air-conditioned open-plan, with zones for dining and living room, gas log fire, and a large kitchen with stainless steel appliances and extensive cabinetry.

Four bedrooms include the air-conditioned master suite overlooking the front garden, with walk-in-robe and a large contemporary ensuite. Smart grey and white finishes continue in the family bathroom complete with spa bath and separate toilet, and the large laundry opens to the backyard.

An expansive alfresco flows from the open-plan living, framed by the curving limestone walls that are such a feature of this property. Those curves continue throughout the long backyard, with meandering paths, more stone walls, mature trees including mandarin and lemon, lots of birds, and the potential to refresh what is already an enchanting private garden.

It’s easy to imagine thriving family life in this welcoming community location, enjoying the flexibility of a warm and practical family home amid the quiet green space that is such a treasure so close to town, cafés, schools, parks, shops and transport.
