Perfectly positioned in the most convenient of North Fremantle locations, right on the cusp of the vibrant Queen Victoria precinct and in the heart of the suburb's enchanting heritage trail, this timeless 3 bedroom 1 bathroom terrace home has been meticulously renovated throughout and combines original Victorian charm and architecture with a series of stylish fittings and fixtures - all beyond a stunning heritage-listed façade.
The cherished residence of a renowned local artist, Sarah Templeman every corner of this unique abode tells a story and offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history while enjoying the best of modern living. Remote-controlled and pin-code double access gates secure the driveway, where two cars can safely park in tandem - and off the street.
The courtyard entrance is nice and secure too, as is the striking bull-nose front verandah that will no doubt take you on a journey back through time. Soaring high ceilings, original wooden Jarrah floorboards, decorative ceiling roses, tall feature skirting boards, ornate archways, classic light switches and gorgeous sash windows are commonplace throughout - with most first introduced to you within the long, wide statement entry foyer.
A generous front master bedroom and a huge second bedroom have their own fireplaces and mirrored built-in wardrobes, with ample storage and built-in-robe space also prevalent within the spacious third bedroom. Drop-down-ladder access up to a massive handy storage attic is simply an added bonus and is complemented by power points and further high ceilings.
The carpeted open-plan living and dining area is a relaxing central hub - home to a media nook (that can convert back to a fireplace if need be) and an integrated fridge/freezer combination. The adjacent kitchen oozes style in the form of double sinks, glass splashbacks, an integrated dishwasher and stainless-steel range-hood and quality Bosch gas-cooktop and oven appliances.
A combined contemporary bathroom-come-laundry wet area makes the most of both the floor and wall space on offer with its bathtub, showerhead, vanity, under-bench storage and toilet.
At the rear, you will no doubt be pleasantly surprised by a tranquil entertaining courtyard with a manual awning for protection from the elements, as well as an outdoor mains-gas Everdure barbecue (with a neighbouring sink and bar fridge) and a separate wood-fire pizza oven.
The spectacular backdrop to it all is a shimmering below-ground heat-pump swimming pool with spa jets. A poolside courtyard encourages further entertaining, with a hot/cold water outdoor shower - and an external powder room - destined to "wow" your guests even more.
The wildcard of the layout though is a large and versatile poolside studio that can be absolutely anything from a home office to a teenager's retreat or simply a "pool house" with its own fireplace, Wi-Fi booster, split-system air-conditioning and sliding-stacker doors for a seamless integration - or for those sensual Fremantle Doctor sea breezes to filter in.
Once everything is said and done, you will be able to embrace this dream position's very close proximity to the river, Port and Leighton Beaches, the buzzing "North Freo" hub of bars, restaurants and cafes, public transport and neighbouring Fremantle. Convenience has never been more impressive!
