PRETTY AS A PICTURE IN LIMESTONE & TIMBER

Completely renovated from top-to-toe, this warm and inviting family home celebrates fresh, coastal aesthetics while the external facade represents country-style charm featuring new timber cladding and rustic limestone highlights.

Wide-set, lightwood (re-engineered) oak flooring flows throughout bright and breezy living zones with north-facing access to a serene, tree-dappled patio, tastefully appointed landscaping and a designer, country-style kitchen with a magnificent Victorian-aesthetic (dual-fuel) Smeg oven encased in dreamy off-white hues.

Adored for its streetscape of majestic native trees, generous verges and the most convivial neighbourhood community, life here represents leisurely bike rides to Freo, walks to the park and street drinks with the neighbours.

Many smart inclusions have been considered in this practical, yet spatially balanced home, such as German-engineered double-glazed windows with excellent insulation and security attributes – along with all newly insulated ceilings, drought-hardy landscaping and excellent breezeways from intentional window placements.

The front garden, partially enclosed by a limestone wall and adjoining pavers, is a serene enclosure to sit and enjoy the streetscape beyond, while the practical front entrance includes a handy alcove to fit a large dresser and storage hooks to accommodate kids’ school bags and jackets whilst also concealing clutter from the rest of the home.

Also tucked away at the entrance is a discreet home office (with garden views), a light-filled bedroom and a bright and modern bathroom/laundry (with drying court access) – providing the perfect amount of privacy for home-office visits or consultations.

At the home’s core is a tastefully appointed country-style kitchen with deep ceramic twin-basin, white panelled cabinetry and subway tile splashbacks, integrated dishwasher and a generous, timber framed wine rack, along with the aforementioned five-burner Smeg oven and matching exhaust.

Calming views to the outdoor patio, shaded by a spectacular elm tree, includes a timber decked feature known as the “pirate’s ship” for kids to create imaginary themes and hours of entertainment, along with generous grassed areas and a permanent fire pit.

Upstairs, three remaining bedrooms (two with built-in-robes), along with a cosy sitting room or additional lounge area (with balcony access and street views), are fitted in plush new allergy-resistant carpets, ducted (zoned) air-conditioning and joined by a spacious bathroom appointed with ceiling-to-floor white subway tiles, a charming free-standing timber vanity, and deep tub.

Other features include fully reticulated gardens, a single remote carport with storage loft (plus ample off-street parking) and shopper’s entry, three split-system airconditioning units on the ground floor, secure locks on all doors and windows, several storage cupboards, access to an extra-fast business-grade internet line, and unparalleled lifestyle attributes.

As the current owners will attest, this home has provided many wonderful years of warm social gatherings with neighbours and friends, along with an undeniable old-school charm from living on a street where children can play at ease, safely ride to school or walk to nearby parks and playgrounds.

East Fremantle Primary School is conveniently located at the end of the street, with John Curtin College of the Arts very close by, along with an abundance of coffee shops, wellness and fitness studios, convenience and grocery stores, the popular George Street lifestyle precinct, Fremantle central & South Fremantle attractions, easy bus and train access and a leisurely stroll to the river, beach and Royal Fremantle Golf Course.
