From the big gum tree framing the classic weatherboard exterior to the pretty veranda sheltered behind leafy greenery this is the perfect setting for a graceful character home, nestled along a historic streetscape. Right on the doorstep of Freo and South Freo, enjoy the city and coast close by, with an endearing community feel that makes the Valley such a special place to live.
Originally built c.1922, its history has been beautifully preserved: high-ceilinged bedrooms, rich jarrah floors, Oregon doors, even a darling ceiling rose or two. Two big bedrooms embrace their northern outlook, with a traditional fireplace to the master, while two more bedrooms peel off the hallway all with ceiling fans and air-conditioning.
Beyond, the heart of the home is spectacular, drawing light, air and movement into the lofty open-plan, before spilling out to the big backyard filled with birdsong. The kitchen is finely appointed with stainless-steel appliances, white shaker-style cabinetry and brushed-brass handles, with a large central island, perfect for meal prep, lit by a pair of woven rattan pendants. There's air-conditioning and a ceiling fan for comfort, while adjacent is the laundry with exterior access and the family bathroom with a separate toilet.
Flowing outdoors, that lofty feel continues with a huge pitched-roof alfresco sheltering the timber deck. It's a gorgeous setting: imagine lazy long lunches, summer barbecues or simply unwinding at the end of the day while the kids play under the jacaranda. A studio in the corner adds versatility artist's room, creative space or home office with storage alongside.
Capturing the timelessness of its early origins with plenty of modern touches woven throughout, this Valley treasure presents a wonderful opportunity to make it yours.
