Dive into a fresh take on this 30s classic

A classic 1930s home sits perfectly among the character architecture of this leafy street in the sought-after Woodside Ward. It also has a new story to tell, with glimpses of the sparkling blue of the pool alongside and the smart angles of the second storey addition. Recently renewed and extended, its new interiors combine with the original features of jarrah floors and high ceilings. It’s a clever layout with excellent separation between bedroom zones, additional living or tv room upstairs, and bright north-facing open-plan flowing to the pool. Close to Fremantle and the river, with parks, shopping, and fine local schools, this is a quiet, neighbourly spot surrounded by trees and birdsong.

Beyond the treed verge and expansive front lawn and garden, the thirties California Bungalow style features the original semi-enclosed veranda to enjoy the evening breezes. Through the leadlight front door a skylight lights the jarrah hallway, where a striking contemporary chandelier celebrates the meeting of old and new. A very spacious bedroom is secluded nearby, with triple windows to the front garden. The transformation of the kitchen, dining and living zones is all about embracing the northern light and the indoor outdoor flow. Tones of concrete and white define the kitchen with a fresh simplicity to the design, and featuring a large island at the centre. Floor-to-ceiling black-framed glass slides open from the living and dining to the travertine alfresco and the pool, with outdoor dining under an angled white roof.

Louvres welcome the breezes to a jarrah passageway leading to the private master suite: walk-through robe and a smart en-suite with frameless glass rainshower, aggregate tiled floors and a suspended vanity in beachy timber. Also on this level is the family laundry with lots of storage, another cool bathroom with freestanding bath, and a study nook at the rear.
Up the jarrah stair is another living area, a third bathroom in the same fine stylings, and two more bedrooms with built-in-robes.

It works beautifully for family living, bringing together history and contemporary comfort in time for you to move in, entertain, and simply enjoy summer relaxation by the pool.
