THE vendor of this Hughes Street home, one of three in an “integrated concept” plans to live in one of the others so attention to detail has been second to none.
While similar there are deliberate differences: “It’s an integrated concept; the intention was to flow with similar, but dis-similar design — on their own title,” the vendor says.
The possibilities of a drive-through coffee outlet on the doorstep were apparent—very convenient for an early morning dash, or to grab a latte before relaxing in what promises to be a very pleasant garden when it grows up.
This is a rare find on the Hilton/White Gum Valley border: brand new, well designed homes that are not on a battle-axe subdivision.
Quality materials and sound environmental design come together in the four-bedroom home, on 309sqm, where a bright red door says welcome. Flanked by louvres, the greeting in the tiled entry is as warm and bright.
Beautiful marri floors are a feature of the open-plan living area, where north-facing windows ensure winter warmth, but not searing summer rays.
Louvres in the kitchen and dining area (and upstairs) provide wonderful cross-ventilation meaning the air conditioner shouldn’t get a workout no matter the mercury.
Black and white granite benches and a huge blue glass splash-back ensure working in the galley-style kitchen is no chore, and the six-burner Smeg stove and stylish pull-out pantry are the icing on the cake.
The living area windows frame what will be a delightful garden, with the vendor planting a crab apple for its lovely soft pink flowers and illawara flame for its vibrant red: deciduous, they’ll give shade in summer but let the sun pour in in winter.
Three of the four bedrooms are on the second level, including the main, with its walk-in robe and ensuite, and a huge open area has many possibilities, as a second sitting area, office/study or a kids play area.
Shops and schools are walking distance, and it’s a two-minute walk to direct bus routes to Fremantle train station, Fiona Stanley Hospital and Murdoch University.
