Overview

PLYMPTON COTTAGE RE-IMAGINED

The simple exterior of this turn-of-the century cottage has a modernist edge, hinting at the transformation inside: a creative extension opening up to an enchanting series of garden 'rooms' and glass-walled pool. Inside, you'll find serene spaces, beautiful new bathrooms, a remarkable rectangle of mid-20th century terrazzo in the dining room and a warmly welcoming open-plan kitchen and living at the heart of the home. Glass to the north lets in the light and frames the view of a series of circular murals commissioned from Fremantle artist Trevor Richards, well-known for his work with colour, pattern and its relationship to architecture. Upstairs, the master suite seems to hover over the grapevine, with lovely views over the garden and across the treetops. The traditional jarrah-floored hallway opens to two bedrooms. Both have ample built-in-storage; one is currently configured as a study and is a beautiful place to work. Adjacent is a large new bathroom, with a fabulous freestanding oval bath, caesarstone vanity, frameless glass shower, soft grey tiles, tall white gloss cupboards, heated floor and a window to an atrium garden. Opposite, another bedroom, with white-painted timber built-in robes, is filled with northern light, looking out at a mural artwork. Through a glass door at the end of the hallway is the beautifully designed, rendered brick extension, which retains a wonderful piece of art from the home's evolving history: the colourful terrazzo floor framing the dining room table. The open-plan kitchen and living echoes that idea in a pared back 21st century way, with a grey terrazzo floor throughout. The kitchen has pale timber cupboards, 5-burner Smeg cooktop, double oven and big walk-in pantry, and the island bench is a favourite place to sit, with a garden outlook all around and timber and glass doors opening to the outdoors. There, a creative series of spaces is defined by timber decking, lawn, garden beds and limestone paving; there's a fire-pit with circular stone seating, a thatched gazebo for lounging by the glass-walled pool and a paved alfresco for dining under the flourishing grapevine. Up the timber stairs, the master bedroom, with its own bathroom, air-conditioning and a wall of built-in-storage, has a wonderful atmosphere with a restful treed outlook. This historic cottage has been reinvented with rare style and imagination and the Plympton area is a wonderful place to live. With its historic streetscapes and famously neighbourly atmosphere, it's a highly sought-after part of town, close to the river and schools, with the cafes restaurants and boutiques of George St always a temptation. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 car - Historic Plympton cottage transformed - Creative garden spaces with pool - Wonderful atmosphere - Beautiful new main bathroom - Upstairs master suite - Excellent natural light - Close to schools, river, George St AUCTION ON SITE SATURDAY 5TH DECEMBER AT 11:00AM DEPOSIT: $75,000 ON THE FALL OF THE HAMMER SETTLEMENT: 22ND JANUARY 2016
