2 Binns Court, North Fremantle WA 6159

Walk to the river in moments and Leighton Beach in minutes from this beautiful, idyllic four bedroom home.

On the narrowest stretch of the North Fremantle peninsular, this coastal retreat sits in one of the most desirable pockets of the suburb; tucked away from the bustle and the closest you can be in Perth to both the river and the ocean.

The house sits on a 409sqm corner block in Binns Court, a desirable cul-de-sac that culminates in a small playground and walking trails to the river.

This home represents a fantastic opportunity for investors or a family that would like to turn the home into a multigenerational dwelling or generate another income stream. There are conceptual drawings for a second dwelling to be added; utilising the block's dual street addresses of Binns Court and Thompson Road. As is, this is a lovely, solid family home. A classic 90s brick build, the house has been completely renovated with new bathrooms and kitchen, jarrah flooring and upgraded windows, doors and shutters.

Surrounded by mature trees and gardens, the house has a feeling of privacy and retreat, tucked beyond leafy gardens. The water-wise verge gardens feature natives and Mediterranean plantings including mature olive trees, and are even home to blue tongue lizards.

The home makes a lovely first impression. An elevated front veranda can be enclosed with shutters, making it usable year-round. Start your mornings strolling the Masson Mews walking trails on your doorstep, enjoying the clifftop views across scenic Rocky Bay; return home to take your coffee on the veranda. Here you are walking distance to popular coastal eateries including MRKT Space, The Orange Box, Palette Fremantle and Bib and Tucker. The house is also a few minutes to the café and shopping hub of Queen Victoria Street, North Fremantle Primary School and childcare.

A charming entry foyer has jarrah floors and timeless timber staircases. One leads down to a bonus level - a fantastic basement with polished jarrah floors, painted brick walls and exposed timber ceilings with steel beams; a perfect nod to North Fremantle's industrial roots. This multi-purpose room is ideal as another lounge, a wine cellar, art studio, playroom or teenage retreat.

Off the entry foyer is the spacious main bedroom with jarrah floors and four windows. Open them up to let in the gentle sea breezes. There is another large bedroom nearby, currently a home office.

On the upper floor are two wonderfully oversized bedrooms, both with high ceilings, plenty of natural light and sweeping neighbourhood views. There are two beautifully renovated bathrooms, one in travertine with a bath and shower, and Corian-topped vanity. There is also a combined laundry and bathroom, a light-filled room with zellige tiles and sea green herringbone tile floor.

The entry foyer flows into the open-plan kitchen, living and dining with high ceilings and northern light. Push aside the sliding doors to open the room up to the courtyard garden. Pretty and private, here you can dine alfresco surrounded by mature trees including frangipani, native hibiscus and lemon.

The contemporary kitchen has white Corian benchtops, a white farmhouse sink, Ariston range with gas cooktop and Bosch dishwasher. A scullery offers generous pantry storage.

A large, high-ceilinged double garage with windows offers ample storage. Charming barn-style doors connect the garage to the courtyard. There is also a garden shed with power that could potentially become a workshop.

A friendly community; Binns Court residents throw a street Christmas party each year. If you are looking for a warm, welcoming family home in a dream location, this could be the one.
