Inspired by the seaside minutes away, calming coastal hues define this 60s original and its laidback atmosphere of natural seclusion. The trees are beautiful from the old gum out the front to the magnificent flame trees bursting with red blooms in summer, as a paved pathway winds amongst them towards the entrance. Living here means the ultimate Beacy lifestyle; grab your daily coffee from Two Dogs Laughing, wander over to the Freo Farmer’s Markets each Sunday or stroll to local’s favourite The Beaconsfield Wine Bar for a night cap, with easy centrality to all the attractions along South Terrace or Freo’s central hub and of course, the beach.
Doors stack open to dreamy, white-washed hues in the living, dining and kitchen, the latter appointed with marble-look benchtops, a 900mm Smeg oven with 5-burner gas stovetop and a Bosch dishwasher. The indoor-outdoor flow is made for those sea breezes, with double glass doors to a rear, limestone-walled courtyard lined with leafy delights – including a pretty little lemon tree. Down the hallway are three good-sized bedrooms that all continue the indoor-outdoor feeling, inclusive of a master retreat with sliding, glass doors to a private, pebbled courtyard – the perfect place to lounge in a lazy hammock. The laundry with excellent built-in storage, echoes the marble-look benchtops and the light-filled bathroom (with separate WC) is a serene space with shower/bath combo, semi-frameless shower screen, simple white vanity and wall of frosted glass blocks.
With a north-facing aspect, the energy efficient design ensures power bills are kept low, thanks to roof solar panels, and there’s reverse-cycle air-conditioning above the lounge, plus some ceiling fans throughout – rarely needed once you open the home up to those refreshing sea breezes. Outside, a storage room tucked into the corner is great for housing garden tools or belongings and there’s gated, off-street parking for one vehicle.
It’s all wonderfully airy, peaceful, and private in this cocoon-like, coastal retreat surrounded by trees. What a location and what an opportunity to call this charming residence ‘home.’
