Overlooking a gorgeous garden of natives, this fifties classic has retained its cool personality and endearing charm – perfectly adapted to modern living. It's a great spot to live: close to Booyeembara Park, the Freo Farmers Markets, bus routes, 2.3km from the beautiful beaches and the river, with central Freo minutes away by foot, bike, or car.
Through the north-facing veranda, colourful terrazzo offers a glimpse of what lies within. Inside, jarrah floors span the layout, with geometric ceilings and groovy etched glass sliding doors. Two large bedrooms peel off to the left, the master with a ceiling fan and garden outlook, while the black-and-pink bathroom between them celebrates its retro roots – pedestal basin, bath and shower.
In the living, a large picture window frames the outdoor greenery and streams of natural light, flowing into the kitchen and dining, with its perfect marriage of old and new: colourful terrazzo floors, pops of buttery yellow, an original Metters stove alongside a 900mm Smeg cooker, Bosch dishwasher, kit-kat tiled splashback, and sleek oak-look cabinetry with brushed brass fixtures.
To the rear, in the old sleepout, is a third bedroom with adjoining storeroom, plus a good-sized laundry with modern updates and separate toilet. Out the back, a sheltered alfresco is great for entertaining, with a courtyard wrapping around to a drying court for the laundry, outdoor shower, garden shed and storage zone. Evaporative cooling, a single car bay out front and solar-powered hot water complete this lovely cottage.
Brimming with character, this mid-century gem captures the nostalgia and magic of simpler times, while making the most of everything this desirable neighbourhood has to offer.
