There’s something lovely about a home you don’t see straight away. Beyond the electric gates at 16A Raymond Street, a driveway lined with beautifully manicured gardens leads to a private retreat, tucked away in a quiet and desirable pocket of Mount Pleasant.
Inside, rich timber floors and quality plantation shutters give the home a warmth that carries from room to room. The styling is classic, with carefully chosen details and beautifully renovated bathrooms bringing an understated elegance to everyday living.
The kitchen is particularly charming. White granite benchtops sit alongside French-style glass display cabinets, with generous storage and a window looking out over the back garden. It’s a kitchen you can imagine enjoying for years, with a timelessness that suits the home so well.
Open the timber bifold doors and the rear deck, patio and garden become part of the day. There’s room for coffee outside, lunch with friends and a quiet afternoon overlooking the lush lawn. The connection between the kitchen and outdoors makes entertaining feel wonderfully relaxed.
The bathrooms deserve a closer look, too. Beautifully finished in a classic style, they bring the same care and attention found throughout the home. For those hoping to move straight in and enjoy their surroundings, much of the hard work has already been done.
Ducted evaporative air conditioning is complemented by a split system in the lounge, while a large shed provides useful storage. Additional paving beside the driveway creates extra room for turning and reversing, a thoughtful addition to this rear setting.
Beyond the gates, the neighbourhood offers its own simple pleasures. Take the dog for a walk to Shirley Strickland Reserve or pick up dinner from nearby Gibson Street Fish and Chips. Surrounded by designer homes, the address also sits within the Mount Pleasant Primary School and Applecross Senior High School catchments.
For down-sizers who still want a beautiful garden, a welcoming kitchen and space to have friends over, this is a home with plenty to love. Private, chic and easy to lock up when a holiday calls.
Come home, put the kettle on and settle in.
