WOW! This is a must see. If you're looking for something different, a bit quirky with loads of character then this rear two storey funky Freo inspired home is for you! Walk down the private tree-lined driveway to your little oasis and you immediately start to relax and unwind. There's something about crossing water while the fish lazily swim below you that sets the scene before you even enter. Now you're on the front porch, a place I predict you'll spend as much time as possible with coffee in the morning and a wine in the evening. It is a sheltered, restful place surrounded by lush greenery where you can watch the fish float by.
When you walk inside, you'll feel the ambience of this home, like walking into a hug. It has a rich warm vibe highlighted by the warm timber tones of the ceiling high above. This open space is where you'll live, comprising of the lounge, dining and kitchen. The kitchen is trendy and has an industrial feel with stainless steel benches and a very cool black tile splash back. There are heaps of cupboards and some bonus under stair space for those who like to store some extra wine. The fridge fits perfectly in the space so is part of the sale.
The kitchen also opens out to a fabulous north facing courtyard which is another favourite space to sit and to entertain friends. Shaded in summer by a magnificent espaliered fruiting plum that will feed you for a whole season, the leaves drop over autumn to give you lots of lovely winter sun. This is a delightful space.
On the ground floor you have a full size bedroom that opens onto an annex which makes a great study space for teenagers and has a private entrance also making it a perfect office for those who work from home. The downstairs bathroom is a green oasis with a spa and rain head shower overlooking an enclosed garden full of foliage. It feels like you're showering with nature.
Upstairs are the other two bedrooms and they are massive. One had a walk in robe and the other, a sitting area. The vaulted timber ceiling soars upward and a vast sense of space is the result. The jarrah boards flow right through the upper floor and there is an abundance of light from a number of windows. From the west facing windows you can see the ocean in the distance. There is another bathroom upstairs in quirky blue tiles and in between both rooms is another room, currently used as a study, but could also be a nursery, a single bedroom or a sitting room.
The home is not large, in that it doesn't ramble over a large area with room after room for every purpose, but the room has have a fabulous sense of space and are generously proportioned, so although you may be downsizing in square meterage, you don't feel cramped but relaxed.
Outside you are wrapped up by the lovely gardens, thoughtfully planted with fruit trees, lemons, limes, the plum tree and reportedly the world's best Mandarin tree. Delicious! The garden at the rear includes a very large work shed with an annex with a very handy and funky outdoor shower. The garden here is raised giving fabulous views over the valley.
There is so much to love about this home you'll discover all sorts of nooks and crannies, spots to sit, places to store your treasures and rooms you'll love living in.
Across the road is the East Hamilton Hill Primary School, which means before and after school hours you have a fabulous oval to walk the dog, run the kids or jog around. In fact, there are several parks close by as well as the Shopping Centre and you can stay fit as there are three gyms in easy distance. And you're only 5 mins drive to South Beach! If you work in the city its an easy to access major roads or public transport. But the best thing about this home is that you get a full burst of funky Freo flavour without the price tag! So if you absolutely love the Freo style but can't manage the mortgage, then step sideways and check out this cool home. You'll love it!
