UNDER OFFER by Connie Handcock, White House Property Partners, after one week on the market

Occupying a commanding presence on a huge corner block that sits north of South Street and central to both the buzzing Fremantle cappuccino strip and South Fremantle’s vibrant café and restaurant precinct along South Terrace, this beautifully-renovated 4 bedroom 1 bathroom character home – with living options aplenty – is a premium example of when charm and versatility intertwine in perfect harmony.

Beyond an unassuming street frontage lies timeless appeal and modern flexibility, destined to comfortably cater for the personal needs of any family. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by soaring high ceilings, solid wooden Jarrah floorboards, decorative ceiling cornices, attractive ceiling roses, picture rails, tall skirting boards and gorgeous leadlight-panelled doors and windows, creating an ambience that's both nostalgic and inviting.

With a spacious and adaptable floor plan, this unique residence effortlessly combines classic with contemporary, offering endless possibilities to tailor each zone to your individual lifestyle needs. The wildcard in the floor plan is a study – or storeroom – off the laundry that can easily be converted into a fifth bedroom, or another multi-purpose room, if need be.

The other study/office option is a play room – or another potential fifth bedroom – off a commodious third bedroom. The second bedroom next door is also generous in its proportions and splendidly faces north, whilst the large bathroom has been impressively revamped to include a walk-in shower, a floating vanity, storage and a feature skylight for natural illumination.

The north-facing master bedroom is massive and boasts triple built-in wardrobes with mirrored sliders. Off the entry, double panelled doors reveal a spacious formal lounge room with a striking chandelier, an electric fireplace heater with a timber mantle, glass display cabinetry to either side and a separate set of double panelled doors, leading into an over-sized formal-dining room with split-system air-conditioning.

The open-plan family, meals and kitchen area is where most of your casual time will be spent and oozes quality in the form of sparkling engineered stone bench tops, a skylight, extra storage, a stone island breakfast bar for quick bites, an integrated dishwasher, a sleek black range hood and a Westinghouse five-burner gas-cooktop/oven combination. Double sliders off here seamlessly extend living out to a fantastic rear pergola, dominated by stunning soapstone floors and overlooking the shimmering below-ground mineral swimming pool.

The secure backyard also plays host to a poolside courtyard, a terrific firepit area and some lawn for the kids and pets to run around on. A separate external fourth bedroom is large in size and makes for a wonderful “teenager’s retreat” off the alfresco, complete with its own split-system air-conditioner for climate control.

Nestled within the optional intake areas for both Beaconsfield Primary School and White Gum Valley Primary School, the property is also close to Fremantle College and John Curtin College of the Arts as far as educational facilities are concerned. The “Freo Doctor” will keep everybody cool in the searing summer heat, with only minutes separating your front doorstep from glorious South Beach, numerous pubs, clubs and shops in and around the heart of Fremantle, public transport, lush local parks, the boat harbour, the Fremantle Markets, the University of Notre Dame and everything in between. Whether you envision quiet evenings by the fireplace or entertaining friends out by the pool or firepit, this enchanting home is ready to fulfil your every desire for comfort, style and practicality!
