THIS Hamilton Road property immediately evokes a sense of 1940s glamour with its arched hallway and high ceilings with original ceiling roses.

The elegant character feel continues into the front sitting room, with its fireplace and picture rails reminiscent of an Agatha Christie setting.

Across from the sitting room is the main bedroom, with built-in robes and en suite with a deluxe bath.

Light, open spaces are unlikely to invite clutter and chaos but there’s plenty of room for storage.

The kids’ bedrooms are double-sized and there’s also a double garage and an undercroft living space.

Timber is a central feature, from jarrah benchtops in the dream kitchen to the outdoor decking that’s perfect for summer entertainment: it creates an earthy vibe often lacking in many clinical, modern homes.

The bore-reticulated garden provides water security for the luscious array of plants and trees, including two frangipani and there’s still enough room for a trampoline.

Located just minutes from Coogee beach, the marina and Fremantle, this home has all the conveniences of modern living, without the  cookie-cutter predictability of modern homes.
