111 South Terrace, Fremantle WA 6160

OPEN BY APPOINTMENT OVER CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR HOLIDAY

Walk to all the best dining and entertainment Fremantle offers then come home to a wonderful old mansion with warmth, charm and history with this iconic home.

A grand limestone, brick and iron house built in 1902, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Fremantle's magical old homes. Standing tall on South Terrace and originally built with its own stables, this gracious, luxurious house was considered large when built - and still is by today's standards.

The house has a long history of being home to doctors and surgeons, has been used as a private hospital and run as a bed & breakfast. With oversized rooms and multiple living spaces, its floorplan offers endless versatility for living, entertaining and work. Meticulously restored and renovated with a heritage architect, this stately turn-of-the-century residence today offers heritage character with modern convenience right in the heart of Freo.

Steps to cafes, restaurants, shops and all the bustle of Wray Avenue, moments to Fremantle Hospital, Fremantle Primary School, walking distance to the Esplanade and minutes to South Beach, this is a dream location.

You will love being amidst the bustle - yet close the front gate and you will feel the surprising sense of calm, privacy and retreat. A shady, leafy front terrace garden with established trees is a perfect spot for enjoying a wine with friends before strolling to dinner at one of the many renowned restaurants nearby. Leave the car at home - everything you need is on your doorstep.

The interiors are beautiful: soaring ceilings, ceiling roses, original fireplaces, lovely leadlight and double hung sash windows, built-in bookcases, brass doorknobs and original jarrah and Oregon pine floors.

A stunning leadlight entry opens onto a wide hall with its striking jarrah staircase. To the left is the office, a spacious, airy room with plenty of storage and an original fireplace. A beautiful living and formal dining overlooks the lush terrace garden. Open up the exquisite leadlight doors to create a perfect indoor-outdoor living flow in summer or curl up by the fireplace in winter. In a corner, a built-in nook offers scope for a bar or as a convenient buffet for entertaining.

Branching off the formal dining is the delightful north-facing library. Nearby is a spacious informal meals with open fireplace. The back rooms open onto a second alfresco entertaining area at the rear, a comfortable space next to the double carport with secure driveway remote entry.

Modern with an industrial flair and timeless finishes, the kitchen will thrill cooks and entertainers. Solid jarrah cabinets offer generous expanses of stainless steel benchtops. A beautiful German schmear feature wall highlights the original limestone walls. There is a gas cooktop, dishwasher, a big walk-in pantry with vintage door and adjacent laundry.

The huge main suite on the ground floor is light-filled and inviting, with fireplace, stained glass windows and timeless ensuite with jarrah floors, subway tile and pedestal vanity. There is another bathroom nearby; also done in a classic style.

A grand staircase with storage beneath leads to a generous landing and four more bedrooms upstairs. One bedroom has an outlook across to the Esplanade with Ferris wheel; another enjoys two big windows and northern light. The other two bedrooms are both oversized with fireplaces. One has an ensuite; offering scope for an alterative main suite, the other opens onto the front balcony. Tuck yourself beyond the trees and enjoy the privacy with your morning coffee; or enjoy people watching with the neighbourhood view of Wray Avenue from the other end. This is a home with great indoor-outdoor liveability.

A lovely living room on the upper floor also opens onto the front balcony; offering potential for use as a lounge, playroom, teenage retreat or study. There is another family bathroom on this floor and a back balcony.

This is a dream home for families, professionals, or those who want the option to work from home.
