Life by South Beach: smart and solar-powered

Sharp contemporary architecture set in a serene streetscape with beautiful native landscaping, just a few minutes’ walk from South Beach – this is the dream location for the coastal life. Right on the South Fremantle border, be part of the vibrant community by the ocean with everything you need for complete comfort: solar passive design, solar power, north-facing open-plan, a theatre room, a study, and low-maintenance courtyard gardens.

A wide timber pivot door leads to a wide hallway offering an open view right through to the rear courtyard and wall garden. Floors throughout are high quality vinyl plank in Limed Oak - wonderfully practical, even for sandy feet from the beach! The study is perfectly located at the front for working from home, and nearby is the theatre room or second living area, plus powder room. Storage is a real feature of this home to keep everything uncluttered, including a wall of cabinetry in the generous laundry, a big walk-in pantry, and a large storage zone off the upper balcony. The double garage is also extra-long, with room for the workshop bench.

Open-plan living is at the heart of the home, spanning the northern side with walls of glass sliding open to a high-walled courtyard under the shadecloth. An integrated pebble gas fire warms the living and dining, and the fine kitchen features genuine granite tops and quality appliances. Upstairs, the master suite has its own balcony to the south, and three more bedrooms include one extra-large bedroom or multi-functional space with balcony. With plumbing in place for a kitchenette, it could be a guest suite, or a second study, or additional living space for teenagers upstairs.

It's all totally comfortable and flexible, with reverse cycle air-conditioning, ceiling fans, alarm, solar hot water, solar panels, and e-glass for temperature control. This is a welcoming neighbourhood with regular street gatherings, and best of all, it’s by the beach. What a place to make the most of the coast.
