THE Chook is a sucker for tuck pointing and this East Fremantle home doesn’t disappoint.
The brickwork on the facade frames the classy front door, which has leadlight glass and a botanical motif.
Combined with the stylish pillars on the verandah, the manicured front garden and the limestone wall, it’s a fantastic entry statement.
The inside of this four-bedroom, two-bathroom property lives up to the exterior.
It’s deceptively big—one of those long numbers with a seamless extension at the rear.
The original front section of the home has that classic hallway with rooms peeling off either side.
There’s a gorgeous period fireplace in the lounge, and the high ceilings and jarrah floorboards add to the sense of character and history.
At the other end of the hallway, you’ll find the expansive extension.
The large open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen area features a lovely mix of steel, glass, stone and wood.
The textures combine to make the area spacious and eye-catching.
It’s got its own character, but it doesn’t jar with the original part of the home.
It’s practical too, with the floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows letting in plenty of natural light and conjuring up lovely views of the back garden.
The kitchen is a stunner with long white benchtops and plenty of handleless cupboards and drawers.
The design is sleek and it looks like an additional piece of furniture. There’s plenty to like in the lounge/dining section—light wooden floors and panels on the wall make it feel stylish yet relaxing.
Slide back the large glass doors and head out to the sheltered alfresco. The ceiling is super high, so you’ll never feel cramped or too hot in the summer, and there’s a ceiling fan anyway.
It’s a low-maintenance area with neat garden beds lining the wall.
There’s a good layout to the home with the main bedroom in the rear section and the other three bedrooms at the front of the house.
They’re all finished to a high standard, especially the stunning main, which has a contemporary ensuite.
The other three bedrooms share a family bathroom with a bath.
Designed by award-winning architectural practice arc seven.1, the home includes north-facing open plan, second living area overlooking the front verandah, aircon, solar power, water tank and an 18sqm attic with drop-down ladder.
Situated on a 508sqm block on Glyde Street, in the picturesque Plympton neighbourhood, it’s a short walk to the Swan River and all the cafes, restaurants and small bars on George Street.
It’s also in the catchment for East Fremantle Primary School and John Curtin College of the Arts.
This is a fantastic East Freo home that showcases heritage with a modern twist.
