Inside, beautiful renewals meet warm jarrah floors and high-ceilinged spaces that flow outdoors at every opportunity. Two bedrooms extend down the hallway, one with a dropdown attic, ceiling fan and French doors to the veranda, while the nearby bathroom is exquisite: cast iron clawfoot bath, cool subway tiles, and a pedestal basin by the toilet.The galley kitchen is complemented by shaker-style cabinetry topped in engineered marble, featuring a dishwasher and big buttercream Belling dual fuel range cooker – complete with a butler's pantry integrated into the laundry adjacent. The open-plan living is warmed by a built-in wood fire over winter, with north-facing French doors to the veranda for those refreshing Freo Doctor breezes in summer.Tucked away to the rear, the master suite reveals a walk-through robe and ensuite with luxurious finishes: shaker-style cabinetry, mosaic marble floor with underfloor heating, and a frameless glass rainshower.
