2 Ferres Street, White Gum Valley WA 6162

Valley value: 70s home, studio, garden

Nestled behind a white picket fence in a tree-lined street, this 70s brick-and-tile comes with the fabulous bonus of a colourful timber studio and expansive garden. Walk to kindy and primary school, the farmers market, the White Gum Valley Community Orchard and local parks, or take a quick drive to South Beach and make the most of summer.

A big bottlebrush and raised veggie beds line the driveway, and the secluded veranda is a lovely spot to enjoy the front garden. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring light and a green outlook to the large living room at the front of the home, flowing through an archway to the air-conditioned open-plan kitchen and dining. The contemporary kitchen features lots of cabinetry in soft green tones, overhead cupboards in timber and glass, colourful tiled splashbacks and a big walk-in pantry.

Beyond is the family laundry, with the original retro floor tiling intact, and leading to a long western patio, newly built to provide a nicely sheltered outdoor area at the side of the home. The 70s theme continues in the bathroom, with bath and separate toilet. Down the corridor are three good-sized carpeted bedrooms, all with ceiling fans, and two looking out to the studio and back garden. Here the big block comes into its own, with lawn, more veggie beds, two garden sheds and plenty of space for ball games and a trampoline.

The lovely surprise is the timber studio, painted in teal and turquoise, with genuine timber floors, wall linings and ceiling. Double-glazed windows and doors make it a serene and flexible space for office, hobby room, studio, meditation, or therapeutic practice.

Parking is easy, with a single carport, additional tandem parking in the driveway, and space for another vehicle on the verge. You can open up for the breezes with security screens, and there is a water tank and alarm system.

Comfortable and welcoming, this home also offers plenty of potential to add even more value and really make it your own, in a great family neighbourhood with historic Fremantle centre down the road.
