In one of Freo’s best streets for its elevated outlooks and heritage charm, this is a home of history, light and fresh design, beautifully reimagined for modern living. Weaving the old with the new through an architect-led transformation, sweeping vistas of ocean and landscape make it even better.
A perfect homage to its c.1899 Victorian Georgian origins, introduced by stone-walled native gardens, enter via the veranda and into a long jarrah hallway. The high ceilings make the interiors feel bright and airy with three bedrooms peeling off the hallway, two with built-in robes, and a serene living area nearby.
To the rear, where the ocean vistas await, warm jarrah floors meet cool polished concrete – a prelude to the renewals that have taken shape in this space – designed by Benson Studio. There’s a magnificent Lacunza wood-burning fire, a bold black kitchen topped in white stone with sleek appliances, and a bathroom finished in monochromatic tones, complete with a separate toilet.
A series of timber doors open out to the balcony – perfect for admiring the sunset, breezes blowing through and the ocean panorama, or flow down to the backyard for the ultimate summer garden parties, with plenty of space for gathering. There’s a fruitful loquat and lemon tree, a gorgeous jacaranda and a grapevine hugging the old outhouse toilet – ideal for guests. A future pool (STCA) would be a great addition too.
Underneath the house, there’s even more. A covered alfresco alcove, extensive storage with multiple walk-through zones, and a fourth bedroom or studio with independent access and use of the shower in the laundry adjacent. A single lock-up garage to the north offers drive-through access to the backyard, with additional off-street parking behind a secure gate.
Reverse-cycle air-conditioning, solar hot water and a ceiling fan to the master bedroom complete it all.
This is a brilliant location for lifestyle pursuits. Spend weekends at the beach or wandering the markets and vibrant cityscape, with Stevens Reserve, bus stops, parks and Monument Hill all nearby.
For a home that perfectly embodies Freo – century-old charm, contemporary touches and a big ocean-view backyard with potential to extend (STCA), this is a special find.
