3 Herbert Street, North Fremantle WA 6159

This elegantly extended 1900s-character home is layered with history and has all the amenities a modern family requires. 3 Herbert Street is perfectly located in an idyllic pocket of North Fremantle where it's a short stroll to the river, walking distance to the beach, and conveniently close to the Queen Victoria Street bars and restaurants.

The home has a great presence in this friendly, community-minded street - tall and elevated with a flight of steps up to the bullnose verandah, which really is the first room of the house. Deep enough for a dining table and more furniture besides, it overlooks McCabe Park and is the perfect place to sit and entertain while the kids play under your watchful eye.

Inside, a central hallway greets you with an enormous bedroom either side. Both rooms have ornate plaster ceilings, built-in robes, and windows with a leafy outlook. A third large bedroom is to the left, with a beautiful hand-crafted jarrah staircase and a cosy sitting room to the right. The staircase leads up to the main bedroom which is a true parents' retreat. Wonderfully romantic, it is light-filled and beautifully crafted, with an ensuite bathroom, space for a study and a sunny mezzanine - perfect for reading - with a view over the tree-lined street and out to the sea.

Downstairs, the sensitively planned extension continues, and the exposed limestone and brick quoins of the original back wall make a stunning and authentic feature. A new layer of heritage-craftsmanship has been created in this magnificent living, kitchen and dining room addition, with glass up to the apex of a soaring ceiling, tall glass doors and windows to the garden, complete with beautiful timber joinery.

The kitchen's central wooden island bench provides a lot of storage. It is great place to gather, incorporating a long, deep breakfast bar which is perfect for cooking and entertaining with family and friends. Caesarstone worktops surround the 900mm gas cook-top and double-bowl sink, and a bifold window connects the kitchen to the outdoor entertaining area via a bar-style wooden counter.

The bifold doors and windows create a seamless connection with the garden, which has a lovely covered outdoor entertaining deck with room for a large party table. Shaded by trees, the garden is flanked by another beautiful wall and there's plenty of space to garden, play and entertain.

The family bathroom with separate laundry and toilet are to the left of the kitchen. The laundry is spacious and provides plenty of extra storage, and the bathroom has a deep bath and a lovely big window looking out to the back garden.

A large heritage home filled with character, charm and a lovely garden - all in a superb location on a beautiful street within a vibrant community. I do think this is as good as it gets, and I look forward to showing you through.
