Looking for a charming, secure, quiet and ultra low-maintenance home in a location that makes it easy to enjoy everything North Fremantle has to offer? This beautifully presented three bedroom home could be the one.
You will be surprised by how quiet this house is. Built in 2008 as part of the iconic Rose Hotel redevelopment, the home has a Stirling Highway postal address yet is actually tucked away behind the Rose Hotel at the very back of the complex, the two front buildings buffering the home from traffic noise.
Leave the car at home - you can walk to the beach, river and all kinds of cafes, restaurants, stores and amenities in minutes. The house is moments from North Fremantle's famed Queen Victoria Street precinct, with popular local hotspots including Propeller, Habitue, Piggy Food Co, Mrs Brown Bar, Flipside Burgers, Bruce Town and Ooh Coffee.
The current owners bought the house to use as a coastal city base to stay when travelling to Perth from their farm, loving the short walk to the beach and river, the easy bike ride over the bridge into Fremantle, and the convenience of taking a train to get into the CBD.
They also liked the property's no-maintenance aspects - with mature, low-maintenance gardens, this is a perfect lock-up-and-leave. The house is also well-suited to executive singles and couples, downsizers, investors or young families, with playgrounds, walking paths, North Fremantle Primary School and childcare close by.
In a row of nine, the home has been fastidiously cared for over the years and presents immaculately. A tidy red brick façade with alfresco sitting area and security mesh front door opens up to the entry foyer. On this floor are two bedrooms, one at the front of the home with built-in robes. Quality carpeting runs through all of the bedrooms and the lounge, while white plantation shutters set off the bedroom windows.
The minor bedrooms are serviced by a tidy family bathroom and separate toilet, neutrally finished in white and grey, with large glass-fronted shower and vanity with storage and good benchtop space.
Next door is the main suite; another lovely light-filled room with a large double door robe that has been custom-fitted with drawers. The ensuite is also tastefully tiled in grey and white, with a large glass-fronted shower.
The uppermost floor is a fantastic multi-purpose space; ideal as a bedroom, study, home office, studio, kids playroom or second living. Large and bright, with white plantation shutters, it has plenty of space for a bed or a lounge setting, and the owners have added a custom-crafted built-in desk with storage. Two hatches offer access to internal roof storage.
On the lowest level is the open-plan kitchen, living and dining. The living area opens up onto a lovely limestone-walled courtyard garden, shaded by a mature tree and with tall bamboo creating a lush privacy screen. Quiet and calming, it's a perfect spot to enjoy your coffee in the mornings or have guests come by for a wine before heading out to dinner. There is a retractable shade sail for summer.
The lovely all-white kitchen is immaculate and decently sized, with plenty of storage and benchtop space. There is a Bosch dishwasher, new oven, induction cooktop and a new white sink. Just by the kitchen is a nicely appointed European laundry, with white stone benchtop, shelving and its own sink.
The complex's carefully planned layout means the home's two undercover parking bays are conveniently right off the kitchen access door, as well as a good-sized garage storeroom with shelves.
Come and have a look at this lovely home and see all the benefits it has to offer.
