17B Hammad Street, Palmyra WA 6157

This versatile home with a modern frontage and flourishing garden was designed by local architect Richard Hammond and offers several surprising elements.

An intriguing property, it offers multiple options and can be utilised as one family home or two separate well-defined living zones under the one roof. One zone offers an adorable fully self-contained cottage for short term accommodation, aging parent, passive income, or home office.

The main living zone (next door) is as equally charming but on a larger scale. A lovely and inviting open plan layout downstairs incorporates a sweet country-style kitchen, dining area and nearby bathroom with deep bath.

The spiral staircase leads up to three bedrooms, all featuring a continuation of high ceilings and attractive timber windows to enjoy the tree top views.

Beautiful hand-crafted timber woodwork, vaulted ceilings, intricate leadlight and rendered walls all reflect a south west getaway - where the current owners now reside!

Outside you can enjoy a lovely wide under cover patio/garden and soak up the northern sun and local birds that visit the surrounding mature trees - this natural environment adds to a nurturing and tranquil setting.

The self-contained cottage offers a private entrance with a sweet kitchenette, while the main bedroom features sliding doors onto the private garden. There is also a cosy tree top mezzanine.

In the seller's words "We designed and owner-built with architect Richard Hammond, using as much recycled material as we could get our hands on. We were young and passionate about compact, sustainable housing. It was creative and fun. We loved and cared for this house, garden, neighbours and all the people who lived here. Thirty years on, 17b is better and more beautiful than the day it was finished - our gift to the future. Walking into the studio apartment is always a delight."

Positioned on a leafy street, the charm of this property is enhanced by its community-friendly location, only a stroll to local schools, a wide variety of shops, cafes, and parklands.
