Hubble has long been considered one of the most iconic streets in the Plympton Ward, full of character and personality. This historic treasure, built c.1920, is the perfect match for its setting. The bustle of George Street is up the road, while the river glistens just below, and it’s only minutes by bus, bike or car to beautiful beaches and Freo’s town centre.
A stone-walled front garden, topped in white picket fencing, sets the right tone: green lawn and shady trees, fit for a hammock, invite the chirping birdlife while the breezy veranda is the perfect perch to enjoy a sunset wine and the sound of the harbour in the distance.
Inside, catch a glimpse of pool blue at the rear, as Blackbutt floors flow throughout. A front sitting room is a quiet prelude to more, cosy wood fire and all, with darling roses and detailed cornices gracing the ceilings beyond. A decorative fireplace by the dining nods to the home’s roots, while the country-style kitchen is simply charming: double farmhouse sink, filtered water and stainless-steel appliances, with a walk-in pantry tucked away behind a barn door.
The master bedroom enjoys an outlook of the Chinese tallow tree, transforming in colour throughout the seasons, with a versatile room adjacent – nursery, study or parents’ retreat – alongside a bathroom in earthy tones. Another ensuite bedroom is to the rear, with a guest powder room for good measure.
Outside, poolside summers promise endless family fun, with a sheltered alfresco housing the euro-style laundry. A separate studio by the pool is complete with built-in cabinetry, an ensuite bedroom and a living area opening out to a private courtyard. There’s also access into the single car garage with additional driveway parking for up to three cars – a rarity in this pocket.
Part of Plympton Ward’s historic precinct, the community-feel of this neighbourhood is wonderful: everyone coming together for Halloween and Christmas, with friendly neighbours often stopping for a chat as they stroll past. You’ll love it here.
