This unique 4 bedroom 2 bathroom two-storey residence boasts its own slice of stunning East Fremantle history in an exclusive location, nestled just metres away from the old “Richmond Raceway” entrance as well as a plethora of lush local parklands – including Raceway Park and its fantastic children’s playground at the top of the street.
The headline act is a private outdoor setting at the rear, where an elevated swimming pool and deck gives off resort-style vibes whilst splendidly overlooking a lovely courtyard and terrace, as well as low-maintenance gardens. Also out back is a lock-up single garage with mezzanine storage and its own multi-purpose studio – split-system air-conditioning, easy-care flooring and all. Double side gates secure driveway parking space for 2-3 cars, beyond a separate set of double side gates near the front of the property, with room for one extra vehicle either side.
Before you even step foot inside though, you will enjoy sitting under the front verandah, overlooking the leafy gardens and listening to the sounds of the chirping local birdlife singing away – as well as feeling those sensual sea breezes through your hair. Downstairs, a huge front master suite is carpeted for comfort like the other bedrooms and has its own ceiling fan, split-system air-conditioning, built-in wardrobes, a custom benched seating area by the window and an intimate ensuite bathroom with a shower, toilet and twin “his and hers” vanities.
The carpeted family room across the entry hallway is massive and has its own gas bayonet for heating. Timber-look floor tiles grace a spacious and elevated open-plan kitchen and dining area with two ceiling fans and plenty of natural light due to its pleasant east-facing orientation. The renovated kitchen itself oozes class in the form of sparkling stone bench tops, sleek white cabinetry, a double-width sink, an island bench/breakfast bar, stylish tiled splashbacks, a white Bosch dishwasher, a Westinghouse range hood, double side-by-side Electrolux ovens and a Siemens Induction cooktop for good measure. Both bi-fold doors and a single/security door seamlessly extend entertaining from here, out to the magnificent poolside area.
Upstairs, double doors reveal a carpeted lounge room – or home office – with a ceiling fan, essentially doubling personal living options under the one roof. There is also a balcony and bull-nose verandah at the front of the house, accessible via double landing doors and enjoying a splendid green aspect, as well as park glimpses up the road.
All three spare bedrooms up here have built-in robes. The main family bathroom – complete with a shower, separate bathtub and vanity – caters for everybody’s needs and services the minor sleeping quarters well.
You will fully appreciate living only footsteps away from the exciting East Fremantle Oval Redevelopment site, the East Fremantle Bowls Club at neighbouring Locke Park and the funky George Street food and shopping precinct, with the Richmond and East Fremantle Primary Schools both nearby, along with the Royal Fremantle Golf Club, public transport, our picturesque Swan River and everyday amenities in and around vibrant Fremantle itself. The word “impressive” is an understatement, here!
