A South Freo Classic: Historic Beauty & Modern Comfort
SOLD - BY STEFANIE DOBRO & CATHERINE FENNA, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS!
This is the effortless lifestyle of South Fremantle living – coastal, walkable and wonderfully connected to everything you love. Just a short stroll to South Beach, local cafés, restaurants and bars, this beautifully renovated 1900s character home combines timeless charm with contemporary design across a single, light-filled level.
Set quietly on one of South Fremantle’s most sought-after streets, the white picket fence, Italian-tiled veranda and landscaped gardens create an immediate sense of warmth and welcome. Inside, the home unfolds with high ceilings, restored cornices and ceiling roses, and solid New Zealand hardwood floors – all reflecting the craftsmanship of its original era, reimagined for modern life.
The wide entry foyer sets the tone, enhanced by gallery lighting and a feature FLOS pendant. To one side, a versatile fourth bedroom offers flexibility as a home office or second living space, with custom reclaimed Jarrah shelving and a north-facing aspect that fills the room with natural light. Two additional large bedrooms sit nearby, each with built-in robes, plantation shutters and soft linen curtains.
At the heart of the home, the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area extends effortlessly into the architect-designed rear addition. Polished concrete floors, clerestory windows and shadow-line ceilings define the space, creating a modern, relaxed atmosphere filled with northern light. The kitchen is beautifully detailed with marble benchtops, handcrafted white subway tiles, bespoke cabinetry, and a full suite of premium appliances including a 900mm Smeg cooker, integrated Asko dishwasher and hidden appliance nook.
Glass doors open to a tranquil side succulent garden and a private rear entertaining deck, perfect for quiet afternoons or long summer evenings under the bay trees with glimpses toward South Terrace beyond.
The master suite is privately positioned at the rear and feels like its own retreat – complete with pure wool carpet, Mokum wallpaper, cut-crystal wall sconces and a custom walk-in robe. The ensuite is finished in refined detail, featuring curved marble-top cabinetry, brass Astra Walker fittings and an oversized walk-in shower with a peaceful bamboo garden outlook.
Every space has been thoughtfully considered, from the family bathroom and laundry – finished in terrazzo and marble with Essastone benchtops and handcrafted tiles – to the private drying courtyard with a pet door. With split-system air-conditioning, new plumbing and electrics, and low-maintenance reticulated gardens, every detail ensures ease of living from the moment you move in.
This is South Fremantle at its finest – the beach, cafés and everyday essentials just moments away, yet tucked into a peaceful pocket where the only sounds are the sea breeze and birds in the trees. Sophisticated, soulful and perfectly placed for coastal living with everything at your doorstep.
