DUSTIN Hoffman and Barbra Streisand from Meet the Fockers would love this South Fremantle home.
It’s a quirky boho delight and I could imagine Streisand doing the downward dog in front of the buddha statue in the garden.
This property is full of classic South Freo touches with multicoloured chairs, a Bali-inspired alfresco, yoga studio and little nods to Indonesia throughout.
But it’s also very practical with a whopping four bedrooms and two bathrooms on a 455sqm block (normally these character homes in South Freo are pretty cramped).
The property includes a heritage-extended workers cottage and a self-contained studio down the back.
It’s a gorgeous character home with lots of individuality, but it’s not too out there and will appeal to a wide range of buyers.
The U-shaped kitchen is beautiful with gorgeous wooden benchtops and stainless steel appliances mingling with textured cupboards and a deep stylish sink
The ensuite bathroom ups the ante again with chic aquamarine tiles, a deep standalone bath and bespoke vanity.
The home has a versatile layout with the ground floor including three bedrooms, seperate living and dining spaces, laundry and study.
On the first floor is a beautiful lounge/retreat with a cathedral-style ceiling, which could be used as a stylish home office or even a yoga studio.
The Chook would be spending a lot of time in the relaxing back garden, which really is a little slice of heaven with a Mediterranean-style patio, pond and Balinese benong/gazebo.
The self-contained studio is a cracker with its own kitchen, bedroom with built-in robes, and alfresco.
Situated on Walker Street, the home includes reverse cycle air con throughout, chef-designed kitchen with Blanco dishwasher, boutique fixtures and fittings, original outhouse with copper basin, and parking for two cars.
It’s not just a great home, it’s in a great location and just a few hundred metres from South Beach with direct access via a walkway at the end of the cul-de-sac.
This circa 1903 workers’ cottage has an interesting pedigree too, and was once set amongst horse stables and home to the local farrier.
History, location and a great property – what more could you ask for – it really is the South Freo dream.
