HOME OPEN CANCELLED
Not every home has it, but 87 Harris Street does - that quiet, unmistakable feeling of a place that has been truly loved. Solid brick, single level and 1920s built, this character home has been sensitively updated and renovated for modern living while its original character remains beautifully intact. The living spaces have grown over time with warmth, care, and generosity of spirit. Set in riverside Bicton, where a genuine sense of community makes for an exceptional family life, this is a home that will be loved for generations to come.
The streetscape alone sets this home apart - established frangipani and lemon trees, agapanthus, a jasmine hedge and white picket fence. An original front door in olive green with original amber leadlight - considered, authentic, and entirely of its era.
Inside, original restored jarrah floorboards run throughout, anchoring everything in a rich warmth. At the front of the home, a grand bay window pours northern light into a spacious formal living room with an original fireplace and heritage details, a space equally suited to entertaining or a teenager's private retreat. Three bedrooms occupy this wing alongside the generous master suite, complete with built-in wardrobe, new carpet, and floor-to-ceiling curtains, that draw the outdoors inside. A brand new spacious ensuite with shower, bath, and substantial storage completes the suite beautifully.
At the heart of the home, an oversized American country-style kitchen makes an immediate statement. A huge central island with a trio of pendant lighting above, extensive cabinetry, and abundant windows keep the space bright and generous. The kitchen flows naturally into an expansive open-plan dining and living zone, which opens further into a beautifully executed new extension - a rumpus room with gas fireplace, integrated shelving, and skylights. Large glass doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, drawing you onto a huge alfresco deck and into the garden beyond. A large laundry with adjoining bathroom and concealed step-down storage complete a home that has been thought through with genuine care.
Outside, the generous alfresco deck with freestanding outdoor fireplace overlooks a heated swimming pool framed in travertine and timber decking, with plenty of room for sun lounges. A manicured garden provides plenty of space for children to play freely. An outdoor shower handles family post-beach and post-river returns with ease, while established trees and hedging create a setting that feels entirely private and secure. Parking is well catered for with a front carport and two dedicated off-street bays.
Riverside Bicton is the kind of suburb people move to and never want to leave. Set approximately 10 kilometres south-west of the Perth CBD, it offers the Swan River foreshore, Point Walter Reserve, Bicton Baths, and a buzzing village café culture on the doorstep with Fremantle's arts, dining, and market scene just minutes away. Bicton Primary School is close at hand, making this one of Perth's most complete family addresses south of the river.
There is a reason homes like this are so rarely offered. Loved, lived in, and built to last, 87 Harris Street is ready for the next family to make it their own.
