Ideal Irwin

Have you ever imagined yourself living in a tree-lined neighbourhood, in a beautiful family home with private access to a park, and walking distance to the local school? Well, we have found your dream home.<br/><br/>Immediately next to Lee Park on Irwin Street in East Fremantle, this 3 bedroom 2 bathroom property perfectly blends the foundations of a restored 1920s cottage with a contemporary extension and stylish finishes. Step beyond the busyness of life and into a fully fenced front garden providing a sanctuary of family life before you even cross the threshold. Surrounded by trees and serenaded by countless birds, this front garden provides security and peace of mind as you watch your family grow, play, discover and learn.<br/><br/>Designed by the current owners, the stained-glass front door pays homage to the traditional roots of this home and leads into a wide entryway with more than enough space for surrendered school bags. Original floorboards create a sense of warmth that flows throughout the home. Follow the natural light into a combined kitchen and dining area. With original window frames and fresh white subway tiles in the galley-style kitchen, enjoy the endless glow that illuminates the space. Perfect for prioritising family-time, this integrated living area overlooks the front garden through French doors – bringing the outdoors in and allowing the sea breeze to filter through. Open the French windows on a balmy summer evening and enjoy a barbeque on the deck as you welcome family and friends into your home. Complete with a fireplace, this combined kitchen/dining room is also perfect in winter for cosy family nights in. <br/><br/>Your master suite is found on the upper floor of the new extension. This spacious bedroom is a modern addition to the original home. Adorned with large north-facing windows, enjoy the warmth of dappled sunlight as you look out over Lee Park with mature trees creating a sense of privacy and security. With an entire wall of built-in wardrobes provides abundant storage, and a master ensuite with floor-to-ceiling subway tiles, enjoy a relaxing rainwater shower in a bathroom that gleams with natural light. There is no doubt that this suite provides the ultimate sanctuary.<br/><br/>Directly below the master suite you will find your family living room, surrounded by windows providing limitless natural light, this stylishly comfortable room turns a previously external wall into a feature and is completed with a fireplace, ready for snuggling up with a good book or favourite movie. A second feature wall with sliding doors reveals under-stair storage making this an ideal multi-purpose room. Another set of French windows lead to an outdoor area to the rear of the home, and direct private access to Lee Park. <br/><br/>Nestled between the living room and kitchen/dining area are two additional bedrooms perfect for young children.
