84 Glyde Street

East Fremantle WA 6158

In this lovely neighbourhood by the river, you'll find an amazing combination: a street-front block for your dream home, plus a beautiful stand-alone apartment at the rear. This presents some wonderful choices: take the time to enjoy the serene interiors and inspired garden design of the one-bedroom dwelling while you landbank and plan, or go right ahead and create your new home out front, with ocean view potential from a second storey (subject to approval). The rear building has been cleverly designed to be separate from a future main home - with a northern aspect and nestled down on the land, it will retain its natural light and green outlooks. This sought-after parcel of Plympton is not subdivisible, so this is the perfect plan for home plus desirable separate accommodation for family or income.Glyde Street rises up from the river, and here near the top is a great position: fascinating streetscapes; the restaurants and boutiques of George Street; friendly community vibe; a walk to excellent schools, and close to central Freo and the beach. At 84 Glyde, the exceptional design of the ancillary building at the rear fits in to the fresh architectural ideas that are adding so much to this historic neighbourhood.A mid-century gate by the white breezeblock wall leads down sandstone steps to a spectacular xeriscape garden - brilliant arid landscaping, and indicative of how minimal maintenance is expressed so successfully in this near-new building. Simple profile cladding reflects the local weatherboard vernacular, but it's a modern take in the vertical rather than horizontal. From a curved deck of durable Newtech wood, a northern wall of sliding glass opens to the living space, and a highlight window frames the gum tree next door. Polished aggregate flooring fits the solar passive scheme; the full-sized kitchen is refined and beautiful, and the minimal is palette is restful, with some playful wallpaper for individuality. The bedroom has a green outlook to the north, and a walk-through robe behind white panelling. It all feels really spacious, with a separate travertine-tiled toilet, a finely appointed bathroom, and an external door leading to a clawfoot bath and outdoor shower for coming home from the ocean or river.And even better - above the limestone wall that shelters the apartment, there is that elevated block out front, ready for the main game and more fine architecture.
