Historic homes with modern additions line this lovely Plympton street, but 48 Glyde really is one of a kind. Step into an atmosphere of beauty and light, and experience a home that has evolved delightfully over time. The old Freo feeling is tangible, with sensitive enhancements for ease of living, all embracing the garden setting and welcoming the light. With three bedrooms under the main roof, plus the separate two-level studio at the bottom of the garden, there is wonderful flexibility here. The studio is an excellent asset, and this neighbourhood around George Street by the river is a wonderful place to live.
A curved path under the jacaranda leads to the bullnose jarrah veranda, thick stone walls, tuckpointed brick and leadlight entry - all the classic features that define the community's precious early homes. Inside, two charming bedrooms span the hallway, which opens out to an absolutely gorgeous kitchen. Carefully designed to be in keeping with the home's original spirit, it has all the features for the modern cook: deep drawers, appliances concealed behind traditional cabinetry, an impressive white range in the chimney breast and a bespoke island packed with clever storage. A big Oregon timber window looks out over the deck among a number of internal windows embracing the light and the breezes. Fresh white walls everywhere are inviting spaces for art display, in a home that inspires creative living.
Alongside the kitchen is a living room with one of the home's many fireplaces, and beyond is the long dining space, plus a lounging zone which stacks open to an expansive entertaining deck a favourite spot to enjoy dappled light and the leafy environment. Inside, a perfectly renovated bathroom is by the master suite, where French doors open to a home office, and a seating nook to curl up with a book above the garden.
Below is the white timber studio, with tall glass sliding doors framing a large hardwood-floored space with bathroom alongside, and another flexible room above. There is independent access via a side walkway, so this is ideal for multi-generational living, teen retreat, artist studio, or whatever you wish.
This charming home is a real find and the perfect match for the welcoming community of this historic neighbourhood, steps away from the local park, boutique shopping, cafes, restaurants, and fine local schools. You will love it.
