Peaceful villa by the park

A path right outside your front door leads to open green parkland in this wonderfully walkable neighbourhood where everything you need is close by. Stroll over to Nine Seeds cafe, head down Petra Street for fresh provisions, and be in central Freo or the beach in minutes. This low-maintenance, secure villa is the easy way to relax and enjoy, with the freedom to lock up and travel. Fresh interiors retain some of the vintage touches of the solid 70s brick and tile original, in a quiet, green setting sheltered behind flourishing gardens out front, and with a private walled courtyard at the rear.

The northern orientation is ideal, with lovely light filtering through the garden to the open-plan space. Bamboo floors add a natural feel to the air-conditioned living, dining and kitchen, which has been renewed with sleek white cabinetry above and below, suspended lighting over the island bench, and finely detailed white tiling. A sliding door opens to the bamboo corridor, leading to two carpeted bedrooms with ceiling fans: the master bedroom with walk-in-robe, and both with a green outlook to the rear courtyard. A floating vanity and raised basin are among the contemporary touches in the renovated bathroom, where the fabulous vintage floor tiling has been carefully retained, and that’s also a colourful feature of the laundry at the rear. New security screens on the front and rear doors make it easy to open up for the breezes to flow through.

Step out to the high-walled courtyard, where limestone steps lead to the back gate through to ample parking for residents and visitors. Out front, the single garage has internal entry to the kitchen, and can also serve as a flexible additional room or workspace.

It’s a friendly complex with great neighbours who look out for each other and enjoy the occasional community get-together, and this villa is a real find for a single or couple, downsizers, or first-home buyers wanting all the advantages of a Fremantle address and a leafy park-side location.
