A leafy streetscape lined with character homes is the perfect setting for this elegant 1900s residence – renewed and extended with modern flair. Set within Plympton Ward's exclusive precinct, George Street hums with activity up the road, and the river glistens further below, with everything you need on hand in minutes from this highly walkable location. There are excellent schools in the vicinity and the close-knit community feel brings everyone together whether it's Christmas street parties, the annual George Street festival or Halloween for all the kids.
The historic stone exterior is a delightful nod to century-old charm within: beautiful period archways, original pine floorboards (salvaged from wharf packing crates) and sweeping high ceilings adorned with intricate ceiling roses. The original dwelling encompasses four generous bedrooms including one with built-in-desks and double doors to the east-facing veranda, bathroom with under-floor storage nearby, and a light-filled lounge (with velux skylights) that transitions the old to the new.
Originally designed by architect Ashley Richards, later enhanced by renowned Freo architect Gerard McCann, the contemporary extension unfolds spectacularly to glossy Blackbutt floors and long, open views to the rear, outdoor entertaining. Upstairs the master suite has carpet, extensive built-in storage, a luxurious bathroom, and twin Juliet balconies that enjoy ocean glimpses across the harbour, while below, the open-plan layout is magnificent: travertine-clad gas fireplace for cosy winter nights, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and a Caesarstone-topped kitchen that will delight any home chef – with a waterfall island, sleek Miele cooking appliances, integrated Siemens dishwasher and reverse-osmosis tap. There's also a generous laundry conveniently nearby with access to a drying courtyard down the side.
Outside, a cedar-lined roof shelters the alfresco as decking wraps the exterior, complete with a pizza oven, built-in BBQ, kitchenette, outdoor fan and heating, and stretch of lush lawn with veggie garden beds alongside. A row of magnolias frame the heated saltwater swimming pool and spa, with soothing water features, and an outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off before sitting down for a meal or chat with loved ones. Finally, the secure garage out the front can comfortably park one vehicle, with room for a second on the driveway, tandem-style.
The transformation of this traditional Federation home into a stunning modern abode is made for life in East Fremantle's Plympton precinct – where one of the best locations and lifestyles converge.
