26 Silas St, East Fremantle WA 6158

The nostalgia continues in two original bedrooms, one with a decorative fireplace, the other with a row of floor-to-ceiling, sliding built-in robes and ceiling fan. Nearby there's another entranceway (via a leadlight door), striking archway in true 30s style, a generous laundry (with a drying courtyard outside) and stylish contemporary bathroom hinting at the renewal yet to unfold at the rear. There's excellent storage too with the option of attic space accessed via a dropdown ladder in the hallway. The master bedroom is a haven of indulgent luxury with a ceiling fan, ensuite, walk-in robe cleverly concealed behind a partition wall, and lovely double doors that open out to the undercover alfresco adding to the tranquillity of this private space.

It's the quintessential old meets new as jarrah flooring melds into smooth, aggregate concrete and walls of north-facing glass in the impeccable extension. The kitchen is a remarkable culinary station with Marri timber benchtops, stainless steel highlights, free-standing central island, soft-close cabinetry and high-end European appliances including an integrated dishwasher, induction cooktop, and double oven. The open-plan lounge is flooded in natural light and surrounded by views of outdoor greenery with a quality gas fireplace, ceiling fan and sleek, floating in-built shelving that adds to the sophisticated, modern feel of this bright and airy space.

The back garden accessed via double doors is a secluded sanctuary made for lazy days at home or entertaining guests year-round thanks to the huge, sheltered alfresco upon timber decking with an outdoor heater, ceiling fan, wood-fired pizza oven tucked into the corner and in-built bench seating to spread out on. The limestone wall effortlessly separates the outdoor zones; sway in the hammock to the sound of tranquil breezes and birdsong, watch the kids play upon the stretch of lawn surrounded by fruit trees and leafy greenery, or potter in the artist's powered workshop nearby. There's also a little roll-a-door shed for storage and secure parking behind the electronic gate - perfect to store a boat, caravan, trailer or additional vehicle off street.

The rich community feel of this close-knit neighbourhood is one of the biggest drawcards to living in this beautiful heritage pocket. Street parties are a regular occurrence at Christmas and Halloween and everything is within walking distance - the river, local schools, shops (with a brand new Good Grocer and Liquor Store at the end of the road set to open soon), public transport, health amenities, beauty services and a range of dining options within minutes whenever you wish to venture out from your secluded haven.

If you're seeking a beautiful heritage home in a prime location and the chance to live somewhere truly special – this is it.
