48 Wood Street, White Gum Valley WA 6162

Greenery, serenity and wonderful northern light create a relaxed atmosphere in this delightful home on the park: a solid 1940s classic transformed with contemporary interiors that work beautifully, while respecting the home’s integrity. Original jarrah floors flow in the front of the home, and stunning polished concrete marks the shift to the new, as the open-plan welcomes the winter sun from the private northern deck. On this large block, the winding gardens are lovely, with more outdoor dining under the grapevine, and the flexible studio space with its own access is a real bonus.

The walled front garden leads to a sheltered veranda, with a long green vista through to the Norfolk Island pines of the park. Inside, spanning the wide jarrah hallway, two bedrooms enjoy the garden and park outlook, including the master suite with walk-in-robe and spacious en-suite. The refined neutral décor continues in the family bathroom with bath, and a third bedroom is adjacent. A home office is cleverly designed to look across the open-plan to the greenery beyond.

Step down to the polished concrete floors of the open-plan, where the solar-passive northern orientation offers warmth in winter and shelter in summer. The big living room flows to the bright modern kitchen, with engineered stone island, masses of white touch-opening cabinetry, double-drawer dishwasher and stainless steel range. Glass doors to the north and east embrace the garden vista, and the jarrah deck has a resort feeling, with espaliered vines and flowing water in the pond.

At the rear there is outdoor access to a smart bathroom with laundry incorporated, which leads to a studio with jarrah-topped cabinetry and its own front entry. This is full of possibility: teen retreat, gym, studio or guest room.

Curving stone paths and limestone walls define the extensive gardens, and a spectacular original grapevine shelters the outdoor dining by the wood-fired pizza oven. There’s another magic spot at the bottom of the garden, where you can sit under an arbour of climbing roses. As well as the chook run, shed, fig, lemon, olives, and more, the home’s productive practicality extends to a spacious cellar to store the produce and the wine.

There’s plenty of original valley character here, combined with brilliant light and contemporary comfort in a welcoming community five minutes from central Freo.

This sale and move must have been the most professional and smooth-flowing that we have experienced, having done 20 over the years.

The key to this feeling was Catherine, a charming and lovely young lady whose communication skills were without question the very best. Nothing was too much, and her concern for us and our needs was beyond reproach; we feel that she became one of our family, and we will miss her interaction and friendliness.

Catherine made every step of selling my property easy

Catherine and the team are very approachable and really make it feel like you’re on the same side! This family feel at White House have all the knowledge we needed regarding comparative sales, previously sold properties that were very similar to mine, and exact price guides. I can’t recommend Catherine enough, as she really does know the real estate market and made me feel very safe in the sale of the family home.

Thank you, Carlie!

From the moment I met Carlie, I knew she was the right agent for us. She’s professional, approachable, and truly knows the North Coogee market—because she lives there. She listened to our needs, kept us informed, and never pressured us. Her calm, honest approach made selling far less stressful. Her team was also fantastic. I’d recommend Carlie without hesitation—she turned a daunting process into a smooth and positive experience.

Highly recommended

Well handled from start to finish. Helped me with knowledgeable decisions to overcome a couple of small hurdles during the selling process. I had the option of using a previous agent, but I’m glad I switched and decided to trust Curtis. No doubt I made the right choice.
