Conveniently nestled between South Fremantle's lifestyle strip and Fremantle's vibrant West End hub, this charming 1940s bungalow, discreetly tucked behind a wall of climbing lush greenery and brick herringbone paving, is a haven of white-washed interiors with odes to Art Deco style and coastal aesthetics. Glossy jarrah boards, plantation shutters, Deco-style chandeliers, and high ceilings offset chic modern additions.
Stylish casement-style sash windows, and all the original cornicing, architraves, and ceiling roses have been lovingly restored and highlighted throughout the home, where a spacious entrance foyer anchors a floorplan of blissfully light-filled spaces.
The first of two secondary bedrooms adopts a sunny boat-house aesthetic of shiplap cladding with a slanted ceiling, mirror-inlaid built-ins, and a ceiling fan. Opposite, the second bedroom is stylishly appointed with a stucco feature wall, wide picture ledges, and an original arched feature fireplace.
Clever design has transformed the original master bedroom into a luxurious coastal sanctuary, where warm northern light streams in from a wall of bay windows framing an adjoining sunroom or study. A heritage-style ensuite is discreetly positioned to enjoy corner garden views, with the addition of a tub, subway tiles, and a chic black lacquered vanity with crystal-glass drawer handles. Bolstering the bed head, a huge walk-in robe completes this dreamy retreat.
Central to the home, an open-plan living, kitchen, and dining overlook a provincial-style courtyard via French doors where bench seating and a clear-covered pergola facilitate seasonal alfresco entertaining.
A chic new kitchen & laundry/bathroom refit are the highlights of this inviting light-dappled space.
Slightly raised for maximum impact, the kitchen evokes a cool coastal aesthetic of soft encaustic look floor tiles, soothing stone look benchtops, black-grouted white subway tiles, and a huge island overlooking the living room.
Loads of soft-closing white cabinetry, a pull-out sink mixer, and a four-burner gas stove & oven complete the look.
Continuing the coastal theme, a new laundry and secondary bathroom adopt calming spa vibes with a huge frameless walk-in rain shower and subtle pops of pressed tin & stucco walls.
An original fireplace fitted with a gas bayonet and herringbone brick facing is another charming highlight to be enjoyed from the central living space.
Other features include two split-system air-conditioning units (living & master), excellent security via security mesh on some windows, an automatic gated entrance which leads to ample off-street parking for two cars, and a keypad entry option.
A common driveway, framed in a pretty archway flanked by wisteria, leads to provincial-style neighbouring villas located at the rear of the property.
Perfectly positioned to enjoy all the natural charms of coastal Port City life, this bespoke residence has access to Success Boat Harbour at the end of the street, magnificent beaches just down the road, and a thriving caf? society, along with grocers & one of the best dining hubs in Perth, literally around the corner.
Uniquely charming, seamlessly low-maintenance, and a joy to experience, this home offers a lifestyle unmatched within Perth's coveted urban coastal community.
