On the high side of the street up on the ridge is a home full of welcoming warmth, natural textures, abundant light and flexible spaces – all with the ocean horizon in view for sunset drinks on the upstairs terrace. Stone, jarrah and Oregon timbers, recycled brick, Italian terracotta and flourishing native gardens create a delightfully relaxed environment that just makes you feel at home. Lined with bountiful bottlebrush trees, this is a very neighbourly street with classic Fremantle character, where it’s an easy stroll down the hill to town and minutes to the beach.
Limestone-walled courtyard gardens rise from the street, and a gated side entry leads to impressive timber and leadlight doors and northern light streaming in from high windows. There are three lovely bedrooms on ground level: one beautifully bright room with blue sky above through the big skylights, and two other spacious rooms with green outlooks and their own entries from the front courtyard. These are ideal spaces for home office or studio, or for teenagers to come and go independently. Another skylight lights the family bathroom, and bespoke Oregon doors stack open to the laundry.
Upstairs, the lofty location really comes into its own, where the open-plan with exposed limestone interior soars to a high cathedral ceiling, and flows to a paved terrace looking to the ocean. The elevation creates a great sense of openness, with airy views above the treetops and rooftops. Jarrah floors continue in the expansive master bedroom, with walk-in-robe, en-suite and its own north-facing terrace looking down to the garden. Up higher, a loft room is a serene retreat for studio or bedroom, with a skylight and triangular windows looking to the port cranes in the distance.
Downstairs, another generous living area has a conservatory feel, bathed in light from a wall of windows framing views to the thriving native plantings outside. A poured limestone path winds to a stone and timber pavilion – a charming spot to relax and enjoy the garden.
Spring will be brilliant here, matching the warm atmosphere of a special home with a view, in one of the best spots in Fremantle.
