SOLD BY STEFANIE DOBRO, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS - MULTIPLE OFFERS.
Perched along the highest rise of leafy Glyde Street, where idyllic views and gentle breezes define the landscape between river and rooftops, this is a home filled with endless potential. A time capsule of nostalgia, marked by its many chapters over the years - original 50s features, Italianate influences, and modern updates - period details meet retro style, extended spaces, and a back garden full of character. This location alone speaks for itself: wave the kids off to East Fremantle Primary School from your front veranda, stroll to vibrant George Street for coffee, brunch, shopping and dining, or venture further down the hill to the glistening Swan River with curving pathways towards waterfront eateries, Freo, beautiful beaches, and beyond.
Up the patterned tiled stairs, framed by bottle-shaped balustrading, the breezy veranda leads into the original character home. Four large bedrooms feature new carpet or laminate wood-look flooring, a large living space has built-in shelving, and ceiling fans feature throughout for summer comfort. Freshly painted interiors showcase decorative ceiling roses and cornices, against glossy white tiles - which also conceal colourful terrazzo underneath for the keen renovator. The hallway extends to a main bathroom, brand new kitchen in oak and matte black with sleek appliances, and an adjoining room that can accommodate a fridge, pantry, and casual meals area - with scope to create a larger kitchen.
Wrapping around to the rear are a series of zones that can be configured however you like: activity, games, playroom, additional living, teenagers' retreat or storage, with another bathroom, separate toilet, updated laundry, and utility room. Sliding doors extend to the back garden with a variety of fruit trees - lemon, orange, mandarin - and productive grapevines that were once pressed onsite in one of the two storerooms/workshops along the northern boundary. A large garage offers practicality, accessed via a long driveway down the side of the house where you can comfortably park multiple vehicles, tandem-style, off-street.
It's an enticing prospect to consider what can unfold here. Move in and enjoy as is, rent it out while you explore your options, or reimagine the home entirely with a brand-new, two-storey architectural build (STCA) that takes full advantage of river and ocean views. There are also plans by renowned architect Yun Nie Chong available to view to inspire the kind of masterpiece that could be crafted on this 508m2 Plympton block.
Adaptable, full of promise, and brimming with opportunity - this is a wonderful place to call home, up on the hill, where its future can be anything you imagine.
