This is a genuine Fremantle treasure: a gracious 1880's home high on the hill looking out to sea, set amongst magical stone-walled gardens and sympathetically extended with a two-storey addition that makes the ocean and island views even more spectacular. Hidden away back from the street with the imposing entry facing west to the horizon, all of the historic character is here: lofty ceilings, huge rooms, fireplaces, vast arched hallway, original wide jarrah boards and elevated return bullnose verandah with sweeping stone steps down to winding paths through the gardens. Full of light and with easy flow to a series of outdoor living spaces, this is an utterly charming home on a grand scale.
Through the leadlight entry, there are two very spacious bedrooms off the hallway, each with ocean views, and nearby is the family bathroom and marble-topped laundry leading out to a northern courtyard - even the drying court has the best view in Fremantle. An elegant sitting room offers an archway through to the dining room, again with ocean vista, leading through double doors to the verandah. Beyond is the open-plan living, the kind of sympathetic and thoughtful addition that is characteristic of the home: a stunning wall of bespoke jarrah cabinetry in the living, large granite-topped kitchen with stainless steel range, and a door from the kitchen directly to the large double garage, where there is plenty of storage.
A jarrah stair, with wine storage underneath, leads up to more delightful spaces: a study on the landing, marble-topped bathroom with clawfoot bath, a walk-through robe and a master suite with its own balcony. Wherever you look, the ocean and island panorama is before your eyes, with Fremantle laid out below. Most spectacular of all is a large paved terrace with outdoor kitchen, where you can entertain above it all.
This magnificent home and glorious garden is one of Fremantle's best kept secrets, meticulously restored, maintained and extended, with an enchanting array of indoor and outdoor living spaces, perched on high and yet secluded and private. This is a rare opportunity indeed.
