SOLD by Lauri Curtain of C&CO Real Estate
Radiating timeless appeal, this extensively renovated cottage with its iconic picket fence, sits proudly on one of Hilton's most loved tree-lined streets. A clever and thoughtful extension has transformed it into something truly unique: a Hilton Heritage Precinct treasure that seamlessly blends character with contemporary comforts.
A Modern Take on Classic Cottage Charm
Framed by a mature, leafy, fully reticulated garden, this home puts a modern twist on the quintessential cottage aesthetic. Inside, lime-washed timber floors lead you from the entrance hall into a light-filled open plan living space. Here, north-facing timber windows honour the home's original era while inviting an abundance of natural light year-round.
The open-plan configuration offers the perfect balance of lounge, dining, and kitchen spaces, all kept comfortable with a split system air conditioner. At the heart of the home, the kitchen showcases concrete benchtops, a 4-burner gas cooker with oven, dishwasher, and a striking matte black rangehood. A built-in corner bench seat creates an intimate dining nook, while nearby French doors open to a private decked courtyard offering the indoor-outdoor connection so often sought, yet rarely found, in Hilton renovations.
Outdoor Living Redefined
The decked courtyard features a built-in herb garden, making it a vibrant and versatile space for year-round entertaining. At the rear, a secluded patio houses a luxurious outdoor bath and overhead shower-plumbed for hot and cold water-perfect for indulgent evening soaks.
Spacious, Stylish Accommodation
At the front, two generous bedrooms retain the home's cottage charm, while the contemporary rear extension introduces a large main bedroom. With polished concrete floors, bespoke windows, and custom shelving featuring a study nook, this space is bathed in natural light and exudes a sense of modern grandeur - an unexpected yet delightful twist in this character home.
The beautifully renovated bathroom complements the home's style with an antique timber double vanity, clawfoot bath, separate shower, WC, and an overhead window that floods the room with sunlight.
Functional and Thoughtful Details
The rear extension also includes a laundry with custom timber cabinetry offering ample storage. Outdoors, a separate storeroom/shed provides practical solutions for bikes, tools, and garden equipment.
The Hilton Lifestyle
Nestled within the warm and welcoming Hilton community, this home is surrounded by tall trees and birdlife. Just two blocks from Hilton Primary School and within walking distance of Griffiths Park, Gilbert's Fresh Market, Charlie's Café, and public transport, you're also only a short drive from Fremantle and the beach.
Same but different. New but old. Modern yet heritage.
17 Harwood Street is a home redesigned for modern living-ready to be cherished for years to come.
