11 Philip Street, East Fremantle WA 6158

SOLD BY STEFANIE DOBRO, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS - MULTIPLE OFFERS

Full of welcoming warmth and endless space, this is a very special place to live – in one of East Fremantle’s most prized pockets. Offered to market for the first time in over 40 years, the gracious grandeur of the 1940s has been lovingly retained and extended, with modern updates crafted by renowned architect Gerard McCann to suit a growing family – all on a generous 1,062m2 block. Just steps from the river, where children still play in the street, it’s an atmosphere of peaceful seclusion amidst native gardens, perfectly positioned for an idyllic riverside life. Walk to tennis or the yacht club, stroll along the water, and be in Fremantle in five minutes by car – with wonderful local schools in the vicinity.

A large, north-facing veranda sits on high above the streetscape and inside is delightful. Wide jarrah floors, ornate plaster work, leadlight glass, and soaring high ceilings nod to the Art Deco influence, with a huge master suite nestled at the front of the home. A formal living is anchored by a timber-panelled wall with a gas log fireplace, alongside a dining that leads to the kitchen. Extending down the hallway is a large study, bedroom with built-in robes, and a skylit bathroom.

The heart of the home is magnificent, as the architectural vision comes to life: long jarrah windows frame the garden outlook, the simple kitchen houses European appliances including an Asko dishwasher and ILVE oven, and the vast high-ceilinged space invites the light and airy openness. Past the study, there’s a laundry, two more bedrooms with built-in robes, carpet and ceiling fans, a bathroom, and separate toilet in their own private wing.

Outside, a sheltered alfresco looks out to the gardens of bottlebrush and native plantings, with a powered workshop for the home handyman, and huge studio that can be anything: games room, creative zone, or fifth bedroom. Down the side of the long driveway, is a separate home office with a secure cellar – perfect for the seasoned wine collector, or simply additional storage.

Opportunities like this are rare: a flexible family home on an original block, with future scope to add further value, in one of East Fremantle’s most sought-after locations. But here at 11 Philip Street – this is it.
