Nestled along a quiet, leafy street lined with jacaranda and peppermint trees, a 1930s classic offers the dream of riverside living. Stroll to Bicton Baths for a dip or picnic by the riverbanks, take your pooch for a runaround at any of the sprawling parklands nearby or wave your kids off at the primary school gates minutes away before coming home to complete serenity.

Beyond the white picket fence, a pathway winds through the flourishing front garden to the traditional south-facing veranda that hints at the historical charm awaiting inside. Steps lead to your choice of two entries into the home whether it’s through the generous front sitting room (with multi-purpose options) or grand entranceway marked by period features. The double garage alongside also has convenient access to the sheltered veranda.

Two original bedrooms span the front of the home, one with a decorative fireplace and each with sliding, built-in robes, before the light-filled open plan layout unfolds to an exquisite extension created by Ecovision Homes in the early 2000s. Ceiling roses and original cornices celebrate the stunning details of their bygone era as a palette of linen-white and moss-green meets the warmth of bamboo timber flooring. Adding to the homely feel throughout, a Rinnai gas heater is framed by built-in cabinetry in the lounge - the perfect spot to relax with a book or drink in hand, bathed in natural light from the north-facing walls of glass. The beautiful and functional design continues in the kitchen with an overly generous island, quartz benchtops, soft-close cabinetry, chequered tiled splashback, walk-in pantry and appliances including a stacker dishwasher, electric oven and gas stovetop.

A series of glass double doors introduce the dining room and north-facing garden zone at the rear, while the moss-green accents continue in the laundry and even outside. There’s a private drying courtyard hidden behind a gate and more leafy trees bursting with greenery and shady canopies including dwarf orange, kaffir lime and a majestic ‘treehouse’ alongside the paved courtyard and patch of lawn for little ones or pets to enjoy.

Back inside, a study with walls of built-in storage guides you to the hallway, an exceptionally large family bathroom with double vanity, corner shower, built-in bath and separate WC, and serene master retreat for two with a walk-in robe, ensuite and double doors to embrace the outdoor tranquillity.

Freshly painted interiors and brand-new carpet are some of the recent contemporary updates, while further modern comforts include ducted and zoned, reverse cycle air-conditioning, solar powered hot water system (with an instantaneous gas booster) and a security alarm for peace of mind.

Bicton is a special place to live by the river, loved by young and old alike. You’ll often see this suburb shine with community sporting events, children playing at local parks, friendly faces walking their dogs or families enjoying riverside amenities and picnic grounds at nearby Bicton Baths or Point Walter. Local shops and cafés bustling with activity are only minutes away while Fremantle is a short 8 minute drive.

They say home is where the heart is and this property exudes that feeling at every turn, in this highly sought after and close-knit neighbourhood.
