Modern classic

THIS property has the feel of a swanky beach house you might find down Coogee way.

But it’s actually on the iconic Tuckfield Street in Freo, not far from the Rainbow Sculpture at the entrance to the port city.

It’s a glorious architectural statement, featuring clean lines and bold geometry on its facade.

The interior of this three bedroom three bathroom home is expansive and light-filled, thanks to the clever use of timber and glass, which maximises Perth’s endless blue skies in a solar passive design.

The hub of the home, the open plan living/dining/kitchen area, is bathed in natural light, courtesy of the super wide bi-fold doors.

The white colour scheme enhances the sense of space and there’s plenty of room for a massive dining table and lounge setting.

The kitchen is a pristine whopper and includes a deep island bench/breakfast bar, high-end stainless steel appliances and masses of white cupboards and drawers.

Whipping up meals will be a cinch in here.

There’s a good indoor-outdoor flow and you can walk from the lounge into the picturesque courtyard, which has been beautifully designed with Bali-style artworks and lush plants.

It’s a lovely spot for alfresco dining and I imagine it will be getting plenty of use now summer is here.

But there’s more!

If you walk out the other end of the open plan, you reach a little deck with koi pond and BBQ. Another delightful alfresco.

There’s a good layout to the home with the open plan area and two bedrooms on the ground floor, including the ensuite main, and the third bedroom and sitting area on the first.

The Chook really likes the sitting area upstairs – it’s a cute retreat that no doubt will be a favourite with older kids or perhaps dad, when he wants to rock out on his guitar.

This two-storey abode includes ducted reverse cycle air con and a double lock-up garage.

Situated on a 446sqm green-titled lot on Tuckfield Street, which has a delightful mix of historic and contemporary homes, it’s a short walk to all the bars, cafes and restaurants on George Street in East Fremantle, and the CBD isn’t much further.

This is a fantastic contemporary build in a historic Freo locale – the best of old and new.
