Light-Filled Character Home Reimagined to Modern Perfection

SOLD BY STEFANIE DOBRO, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS - MULTIPLE OFFERS

e classic white weatherboard façade is an endearing nod to 1950s character, but it’s what lies beyond that truly sets this home apart from its history. Bold and brilliant, with a sharp black exterior, a contemporary extension beautifully resolves form and functionality for family flow. With seamless transitions from old to new, charm to luxe, and inside to out, the white-to-black contrast is striking yet everything is here: nostalgic reminders, modern comforts, stunning renewals, and a true sense of home to settle into.

A black picket fence conceals the automatic gate, with pedestrian access for guests, while the north-facing veranda is the perfect perch above the front garden. Inside, a direct sightline to the rear teases the scale and space yet to unfold, as warm jarrah floors line the original layout. Three high-ceilinged bedrooms all feature built-in robes and ceiling fans, with a decorative fireplace in the master, and lovely garden outlooks to the north from two of the bedrooms. The bathroom is the picture of contemporary elegance: glossy stacked subway tiles, walk-in rainshower, long floating vanity with integrated tapware, and a toilet. The adjoining laundry is finished in complementary finger-tiles, inclusive of a shower, separate WC, and touch-opening storage – with even more down the hallway for clutter-free living.

An atrium-style courtyard, centred around a Chinese pistachio tree, signals the meeting of old with new, as abundant light, air, and space unfolds in the modern extension. Polished concrete floors are naturally cooling, with walls of glass, soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed trusses, and solar power enriched by the north-south orientation. There's also split-system air, an electric heater, and cosy wood fireplace for all seasons. The gourmet kitchen can comfortably cater to any occasion with NEFF appliances, Caesarstone benchtops, breakfast bar, and walk-in pantry, while stacker doors spectacularly merge inside with out.

Central to the outdoor design, a tall, flowering marri – visited by Carnaby cockatoos – offers natural shelter for alfresco dining, surrounded by jarrah decking and built-in bench seating. Greenery climbs the walls, with birds of paradise and a Chinese tallow amongst the garden beds, while to the east is a custom-designed shed offering enticing possibilities: art studio, sauna, meditation room, or storage, with an outdoor shower and additional garden shed nearby.

The secure front yard makes clever use of dual side access, with lawn for the kids or family dog, a veggie garden and fruitful figs for the keen home chef, and paved driveway to park two cars – framed by a pretty tipuana tree.

Nestled between parks, this family-friendly suburb offers excellent schools and a rich sense of community, with Palmyra Primary and its Sunday farmers markets a stroll away. Petra Street shopping, Bicton Baths and riverside parkland are all nearby, with shops, cafés and sporting grounds in the vicinity.

It’s simply serene: historic character reinvented for the now, and a location in one of Palmyra’s most desired streets.
