Occupying a commanding corner position this iconic 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom residence is full of history, prestige, character.
A gorgeous white picket fence and entry gate adds fantastic street appeal to the limestone, tuck-point brick and timber-weatherboard front house, where you will discover soaring high ceilings, solid polished wooden floorboards and further original nostalgic features beyond a lovely bull-nose verandah deck with drop-down blinds. It really is the perfect place in which to sit back, relax and watch the world pass you by.
One king-sized bedroom suite at the front of the floor plan can be considered a “master” with its feature fireplace, ceiling fan, built-in wardrobe, and private ensuite bathroom with shower, toilet and vanity. A beautiful living space is positioned at the front if the home which features a lovely bay window and fireplace. A huge master bedroom at the front house, boasting another fireplace, built-in robes, split-system air-conditioning, a ceiling fan and a fully-tiled ensuite – shower, toilet, vanity and all.
The front kitchen and dining area also has its own fireplace, as well as a fan, split-system air-conditioning, a Belling electric-cooktop and double oven and a sleek white Bosch dishwasher. Centrally linking the old and new residences is a central butler’s pantry/laundry/utility room, opposite a pitched alfresco-entertaining courtyard with a retractable clothesline, an outdoor gas bayonet for barbecues, a café blind for protection from the coastal elements and double French doors for access from within.
The rear of the home is approximately two decades young has two separate side accesses – one via a tranquil side courtyard with a feature leadlight entry door and the other through a remote-controlled gate that at the same time secures off-street driveway parking for three vehicles. Step inside and be in awe of an elegant open-plan living and meals area with split-system air-conditioning, a gas log fireplace, under-stair storage and double French doors to the entry courtyard.
There is also a separate study with its own toilet and powder area, whilst a huge separate kitchen is impeccably-appointed with sparkling granite bench tops, a large walk-in pantry, double sinks, tiled splashbacks, a Blanco range hood, a stainless-steel Bosch dishwasher and its own Belling electric-cooktop/double-oven.
Upstairs, the sleeping quarters are designed to create a fantastic separation in the floor plan and comprise of a massive master bedroom (with ocean glimpses, split-system air-conditioning, high angled ceilings, a fan and separate “his and hers” mirrored built-in robes), a beautiful parents retreat with a fan, split-system and high angled ceilings of its own, a queen-sized bedroom with a split-system, fan, high ceilings and built-in robes, a walk-in robe/cloak cupboard next to the fully-tiled main bathroom (with a shower, toilet, vanity and heat lamps) and a nearby second bathroom with a shower, toilet and vanity of its own.
No matter what your future looks like, you will do nothing less than fall in love with this wonderful location, with the South Fremantle Dog Beach and the Fremantle Sailing Club just at the end of Scott Street and beautiful South Beach, coffee, eateries, public transport and more all just around the corner. In fact, only 200 metres separates your front doorstep(s) from the surf and sand. There really is nothing else quite like it!
There is also the potential of utilising the front century-old 3 bedroom 3 bathroom home as Airbnb-style short-stay accommodation while you live in the 3x2 at the rear, if you are that way inclined. Or you can rent the rear house whilst living in the front. The possibilities truly are endless, here – including two separate families, living under the one roof.
