Live High Atop a Hill

Live in a haven high atop a hill enjoying sweeping views across North Fremantle in this cosy, one-of-a-kind cottage home, just 200m from the river and walking distance to the beach.

Built into the hill and standing proudly above street level on Thompson Road, this handsome house has a pleasing elevation with its timber front veranda, sash windows and warm recycled red brick walls giving it a classic heritage home feel.

While it looks as if it could have been built a century ago, the home was in fact built in 1995, using a palette of irreplaceable reclaimed and recycled materials that manage to give it timeless cottage charm with an industrial-inspired feel. Combined with its block and views, it makes for one very special and unusual North Fremantle residence.

The generous-sized front veranda opens up to the living room where magnificent exposed beam jarrah ceilings throughout the ground floor are one of the home's highlights. Teamed with glass block windows to the sidewalls and industrial-style feature lighting, the living areas have a trendy feel that brings to mind converted warehouse apartments. To the left is the family room, a light-filled space with twin sash windows that capture the views. Opposite is the dining, also overlooking the neighbourhood.

Beyond the dining is a stunning contemporary jarrah staircase with open treads. A diamond-shaped window to the half landing offers a glimpse of the iconic Dingo Flour mill down the road.

At the back is the kitchen. Contemporary and filled with natural light, the all-white kitchen is a delight, with gloss cabinets teamed with Caesarstone benchtops, large pantry and stainless steel Bosch appliances including a dishwasher, oven and five burner gas cooktop. The breakfast bar offers a perfect spot for children or guests to chat to the cook. Easily keep an eye on children playing outdoors while working in the kitchen - a large window above the sink overlooks the fenced back garden with brick paved patio and woodfired pizza oven. Enjoy breakfasts out here under the patio or have friends over for red wine and homemade pizza while the kids play - the lovely back garden encompasses a cubby house with slide, sandpit and rock climbing wall. Just by the kitchen, the upgraded laundry offers plenty of storage with two cupboards and has a timber benchtop and black penny tile splashback.

Giving good separation from the living rooms, the upper floor has three decent-sized bedrooms. The two larger bedrooms have stunning raking ceilings with exposed, reclaimed jarrah beams. Two bedrooms sit at the front of the house, the main opening onto the front balcony with sweeping neighbourhood views. Unwind here at the end of the day with a wine and watch the world go by.

The rear bedroom has a four door robe and two big windows overlooking the back garden. Airy and with high ceilings, this delightful room would also be ideal as a study, home office or second lounge.

The bathroom is big and has a bath, separate shower, toilet and plenty of storage, with under sink storage to the vanity and a built-in linen cupboard. The home has recently been installed with a new Solahart water heating system and there are four split systems throughout.
There is a covered double carport at the front and access to the back garden via a paved path along the home.
With three bedrooms, this is an ideal home for a professional couples, empty nesters or a young family. The current owners bought the house as a young couple and began their family in the home, appreciating the practical and family friendly floor plan, as well as the proximity to the river, beach, cycle paths, North Fremantle Primary School and park with playground just across the road.

The location is enviable; with the river, parklands, cycling and walking trails, Leighton Beach and the Surf Lifesaving Club within easy walking distance. You are spoilt for choice with nearby restaurants, cafes and stores
- Bib & Tucker, Jessie's, MRKT Space and The Orange Box are right by the beach, while historic Queen Victoria Street offers other local favourites including Propeller, Habitue, Mojo's, Mrs Brown Bar, Ooh Coffee and Piggy Food Co.
