SOLD BY STEFANIE DOBRO, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS
Perched above a character-laden streetscape between the river and bustling George Street, this is the perfect Plympton position with every inclusion for a truly special home. Atmospheric, graceful, and beautifully reimagined, each space tells a story of its own with enchanting walled gardens to the front and rear, and the best surprise of all – a self-contained studio for multi-generational ease or extra income.
Pretty picket fencing wraps a garden of agapanthus, frangipani and apple, as stone and brick rise to the front door and traditional veranda. Built c.1906 with a classic Federation face to the street, inside, sympathetic renewals have lovingly preserved its history. Baltic pine and jarrah floors, picture rails, ceiling roses, and a sweeping arched hallway reveal three original bedrooms (one with built-in robes) and a formal living with built-in Bose speakers.
Merging past with present, the kitchen inspires 1950s nostalgia that works like a charm: pressed-tin features everywhere – including the Euro laundry and bathroom – alongside vintage pendants, double butler’s sink with filtered water, integrated Miele dishwasher, 900mm Smeg oven with gas burners, concrete benchtops, and a butler’s pantry. The bathroom is a marvel – suspended rainshowers in wet-room style, dual timber dressers repurposed as vanities, and a separate WC, all finished in polished concrete and acrylic polymer.
Framed in black steel and stained glass, a series of double doors from the living and dining reveal the sheltered alfresco: jarrah decking, vertical herb garden repurposed from old pallets, café blinds, pizza oven, and more greenery that invites the chirping birdlife. It’s an idyllic setting for the self-contained studio, that feels like a standalone home, complete with kitchen, bathroom with laundry nook, built-in robes, and a private patio space – serviced with power and water. With independent access down the side, it’s the perfect Airbnb (STCA), multi-generational setup, or guest quarters.
A spacious single garage with attic storage and a storeroom, additional sheds, and gated tandem parking for multiple vehicles complete the exterior. Modern comforts include solar power, double-glazing to most windows, and excellent climate control throughout: hydronic heating via radiators, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and tilt windows that embrace the Freo Doctor breeze.
Steps from George Street, it’s an incredible lifestyle on your doorstep: walk to morning coffee and brunch, indulge in a little boutique shopping, or stretch it out at a pilates class. Enjoy some live music at the local jazz club, grab a bite to eat or nightcap from a cosy bar, then wander home to quiet retreat. Excellent schools, leafy parks, the coast and river, and central Freo just minutes away add to the appeal.
Warm, welcoming and rich with personality shaped over time, this is a beautiful family home in a location to match.
