Delightful inside and out: character home renewed

Set back from the street behind a white picket fence, there is a sense of seclusion about this character home in a quiet street near the golf course. Verandas on three sides create an inside-outside feeling, with airy green outlooks and various spots to relax and enjoy different seasons and times of day. Comprehensive renovations have been undertaken with care to respect the original spirit of the home, with stylish new kitchen and bathroom, extensive jarrah decking, and outdoor blinds for all-weather entertaining. It’s a welcoming home in the White Gum Valley community, with parks and the primary school nearby, and a quick drive to central Freo and South Beach.

Purple flowering plumbago cascades over the fence, and through the front gate are established gardens, raised limestone beds, planter boxes for the veggies, and a recycled brick path leading to the front veranda. Inside, original jarrah floors are in great condition, and the air-conditioned living features a striking timber fan and a working fireplace. Light flows from the casement windows and skylights, and a wide opening from the living leads to the central dining room. The air-conditioned master bedroom overlooks the front garden, and there are two more bedrooms; one has its own exterior access to the north, with sliding doors to the side veranda and dappled light through the wisteria.

Step down from the dining to the smart black and white kitchen, with engineered stone tops, big stainless steel range, Smeg dishwasher and handmade Portuguese tiled splashbacks. A big picture window offers a delightful aspect over the rear deck and rear garden, where a mixture of spectacular established trees and a bougainvillea tumbles over the wall. The elevated back veranda has long green views over the landscape, with a jarrah deck below for outdoor dining, plus two bountiful lemon trees. Inside, the bathroom features a stone-topped timber vanity, big shower, plantation shutters and separate toilet. The single garage is extra-wide, with a garden shed adjacent and additional parking in the driveway.

Re-roofed, re-stumped, well-insulated, and with the great bonus of solar power, all the work has been done to bring new life to a home with plenty of charm and a leafy setting in a peaceful Valley street.
