Situated on the river side of North Fremantle's heritage precinct, this open and airy early-1900s home has been renovated and extended with a focus on entertaining and the coming together of family and friends, with a dream modern backyard setting the headline act.
A classic example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture, the residence is a typical stone and iron single-storey cottage and is historically significant as a representation of a typical workers' house from the bygone era. It is a spacious sanctuary of charm and character, with soaring high ceilings, decorative cornices and ceiling roses, feature skirting boards, classic light switches and solid wooden floorboards commonplace throughout.
Beyond the front entry veranda and a lovely picket white fence and gate lie four massive bedrooms - one of them being the master suite with its walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom. A second bathroom off the laundry keeps everybody else happy with its corner spa bath, rain showerhead, and stone vanity.
The functionality of an L-shaped open-plan living and dining area is brilliant, with the versatile space able to be set up any which way you like. Before spilling out to the back veranda and a space where the kids can play in security and privacy, the main hub of the floor plan integrates with the kitchen and its contemporary European appliances.
The renovated backyard is an oasis where an elevated swimming pool is bordered by tropical gardens and hand-picked rocks. An impressive poolside alfresco will "wow" your guests with its built-in Weber barbecue, drinks fridge, quality granite finishes and access into a powered workshop shed. There is also a heater strip on the ceiling for entertaining during those chilly winter months.
Only minutes separate your front doorstep from both Port and Leighton Beaches, in much the same way as a short stroll does to the likes of bus stops, local parks, North Fremantle Primary School, Harvey Beach, North Fremantle Train Station and a host of bars, cafes and restaurants along Stirling Highway and Queen Victoria Street.
Also nearby are top private schools, excellent shopping options, the Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour and the heart of old Fremantle town itself, including the buzzing South Terrace cappuccino strip. This is a location you are sure to fall in love with right away!
