This is the Plympton dream: a pretty cottage set amongst the trees in a delightful community street rising up from the river. Wide jarrah boards, fresh white walls, charming open-plan living opening to the deck, and a breezy upstairs terrace looking over the tranquil stone-walled garden – this is a very special and welcoming place to be. The restaurants and shopping of George Street are around the corner, excellent local schools are a walk away, and the river is ever present as you step out the front gate and look down to the water. This is a home that has been thoughtfully updated where it matters, embracing natural light and modern comfort without compromising the original atmosphere that makes this historic weatherboard cottage such a treasure.

Beyond the white picket fence, the recycled brick path curves around a magnificent gum tree, through the garden to the front veranda, set well back from the street. Inside is white and bright, with the warmth of unusually wide jarrah floorboards throughout. Spanning the traditional central hallway are two front bedrooms with mirrored built-in robes and double-hung sash windows looking to the front garden. One serves as a downstairs master suite, with walk-through storage leading to a large, dual access contemporary bathroom complete with bidet and bath. A third ground level bedroom is also an ideal office, with a jarrah fireplace and French doors to an inner deck leading to handy side access.

Open-plan kitchen, living and dining spans the rear of the home, with concertina doors and French doors opening to expansive decking above the garden. Lots of white-painted timber cabinetry make the kitchen a charming space, with stainless steel cooktop and oven as well as retaining the original green Metters stove for the historic touch. Nearby is a smart laundry with concrete tiling and timber tops, plus a shower room and vanity. There's a special surprise up the Oregon timber stair – a spacious bedroom with high-pitched ceiling, walk-in-robe and powder room, and French doors to a breezy balcony amongst the trees.

Beautifully crafted high limestone walls frame the lovely rear gardens: cascading bougainvillea, a row of olive trees, lawn for kids to play, a handy outdoor loo, a big frangipani by the garden shed, and lots of birdsong.

This gorgeous cottage is just the right combination of comfort and authenticity, and here at the river end of Glyde Street is a wonderful place to live.
