18 Foundry Court, North Fremantle WA 6159

Feel like you are on holidays every day in this grand, waterfront home with spectacular views across the river.

This two-storey abode enjoys a prime riverside position. There is nothing between the home and river but a walking trail and reserve land, making this the sort of property that only becomes more valuable with time.

Here you will enjoy an exclusive location on quiet and friendly Foundry Street, walking distance to the beach, parklands and yacht club, a short cycle to all the best food and dining North Fremantle offers, and just a short drive to the iconic Fremantle cappuccino strip.

Set back from the road and surrounded by lush cottage gardens, the house has a grand street presence. Its design elements bring to mind the spectacular coastal homes of Eagle Bay, with its contemporary lines, modern balconies and cladding. Befitting its five star riverside location, every finish in this home is of high quality, with polished jarrah benchtops, cedar framed windows and doors and blackbutt floors upstairs.

On a 538sqm block and with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and multiple living spaces, the house will appeal to young families, families with older or adult children, empty nesters or downsizers wanting a waterfront block with gardens that are generous yet still manageable. The verdant cottage gardens are a delight, filled with birdlife, succulents and flowers including resplendent climbing roses along the walls of the large double garage. Enjoy your own fresh figs and lemons from the trees and passionfruits plucked from the vine.

The thoughtful design means almost every room captures the stunning views across Rocky Bay. Double timber doors open up to the solar passive designed entry foyer, where a void to the ceiling captures the northern light year-round and warms the centre of the home in winter. Classic terracotta floors enhance the inviting feel.

Beyond the entry foyer is the spectacular central family room. Relax and enjoy the river views from here or sit under the patio in the back garden watching the boats and dolphins go past. The back garden lawn offers plenty of space for children to play.

Alongside the family room is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living, where a wood burner adds to the holiday home feel. Every meal will feel special at the dining table against a backdrop of water views.

The huge kitchen is the heart of the home. A big central island bench with polished jarrah benchtop and breakfast bar offers space for guests to chat with the cook when entertaining. There is abundant storage and bench space, a stainless steel St George gas cooktop with wok burner, Asko dishwasher, Neff double electric multi-function ovens, an appliance cupboard built-in wine storage, and pull-out ironing drawer.

French doors from this north-south room open up to the front garden. Take your coffee out here under the pergola covered in passionfruit and enjoy the birdlife.

There is excellent separation between the bedroom wings, giving versatility. On the ground floor is a spacious bedroom suite, with wall of robes, vanity, built-in bench seat and river vista from the bed. This bedroom's privacy and access to the garden means it is ideal for use as a guest suite, for older children or even as the main.

The classic bathrooms all feature mosaic feature tiling and polished jarrah benchtops. This bedroom is serviced by a bathroom with large glass-fronted shower and separate powder room.

Upstairs is a twin of the ground floor bedroom suite; also with spectacular views and abundant storage, but with soaring cathedral ceilings and access to the huge rear balcony. Next door is a lovely family bathroom with bath, glass-fronted shower and separate toilet.

The stunning upstairs informal living with electric fireplace is a light-filled room that also opens to the balcony. While the home feels open-plan and airy, it was also designed with zones in mind, so each living space can be closed up when desired. There is a nearby kitchenette with custom cabinetry and Bisazza mosaic tile splashback for easily making a coffee or pouring a wine in the evenings.

The main suite is in another wing, another spectacular room with cathedral ceilings and balcony access. A spacious walk-through dressing room has pull-out shelves, and the ensuite plenty of storage and large glass-fronted shower.

A last room upstairs offers great multi-functionality. A delightful north-facing room with bespoke timber cabinetry and Juliet balcony overlooking the front garden, it could be a study, home office, artist's studio or fourth bedroom or nursery; being near the main.

Wonderful for entertaining and family gatherings, this is the sort of warm and inviting home where special memories will be made and cherished for years to come. Make it yours.
