Presenting all the character of its c.1905 worker's cottage origins to the street what lies beyond truly sets this home apart from its history. It's an enchanting series of spaces: past and present in perfect design harmony, natural light and earthy textures, with a serene studio to the rear, nestled beneath a leafy gum tree canopy.
Inside, warm jarrah floors, pressed tin ceilings and roses, picture rails and two high-ceilinged bedrooms, including one with a fireplace, introduce the old. Beyond is all about the new.
A skillion roof above the open-plan slopes to the sky, making clever use of the solar-passive design, while the black-and-white kitchen features a brand-new freestanding range, a dishwasher, filtered water, and even a working original Metters stove that still cooks the perfect roast.
Clerestory windows can be controlled for the cross-flow of breezes, with gallery tracks all around for displaying your art collection, as a series of Tasmanian Oak double doors flow to the back garden retreat. The master bedroom exudes peace and privacy with a powder room and bathroom alongside in matching Federation tiles, complete with a deep-soak bath, dual shower heads, a pedestal basin and direct access to the outdoor bathroom.
Outside is completely zenful. Timber, stone and greenery converge, lit by ambient lighting at night, with plenty of nooks to retreat to: a sheltered alfresco with sliding shutters, a day bed for lounging, a fire pit for gathering and a bubbling spa to soak the day away under the gum tree. An outdoor bathroom is ideal for rinsing off after a beach visit, complete with a hot-and-cold shower, copper basin and an outhouse toilet.
Adding even more versatility for guests, a tenant or multigenerational living, a separate self-contained studio sits at the rear, with air-conditioning, a built-in desk and ensuite. A large workshop and the laundry, with external access to a private drying court, are both housed alongside.
Solar power, gated keypad access down the side and security sensor lights complete the package.
In a location minutes from the beach, central Freo, farmers markets and local neighbourhood favourites, this home feels like sanctuary a little oasis of your own.
