30 Thompson Road, North Fremantle WA 6159

Enjoy walks along the river, spend your weekends at the beach and come home to a picture-perfect weatherboard cottage with nothing left to do but move in and relax.

Tucked behind a white picket fence on idyllic Thompson Road, this charming coastal character home is a dream, offering heritage warmth with a beautiful modern renovation.

Thought to have been built in the early 1900s the house has been thoughtfully restored and renovated over the years. The finished result is a picture-perfect cottage that offers broad appeal for families, professional couples, downsizers and empty nesters, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and inviting living and alfresco areas.

Thompson Road offers a dream location. Spend your weekends at Leighton and Port Beaches where coastal dining hotspots include Perla & Co, Bib & Tucker, Palette and The Orange Box. Enjoy the village feel of nearby Queen Victoria Street and meet up with friends at iconic places like Mrs Brown Bar, The Bridge House, Piggy Food, Autentici Pizza or Ooh Coffee.

Walk to neighbourhood community hubs like North Fremantle Social Farm, the North Freo Bowlo, down the road to yoga classes at Loop Yoga or around the corner to Rocky Bay Deli. Families will love taking their pick of nearby and playgrounds like Gordon Dedman Reserve, North Fremantle Skate Park and Gilbert Fraser Reserve, and will appreciate the convenience of being walking distance to North Fremantle Primary School and childcare. Minutes to public transport, Fremantle and Cottesloe, this is a quiet yet ultra-convenient location.

Open the white picket gate and step onto the front veranda with beautiful new jarrah decking. A coloured glass entryway reveals the light-filled entry hall. Restored jarrah floors, panelled timber walls and antique timber doors run throughout much of the home, giving beautiful texture and charm to the interior.

At the front lie two large original bedrooms, one with a fireplace and shelves. The hallway flows into a lovely, light-filled open-plan family room, dining and kitchen with north-facing light. Flick on the Rinnai gas fireplace in the family room to warm the home in just minutes and enjoy the feeling of being curled up by the fireplace in winter.

Those who love to cook and entertain will love the kitchen, the heart of the home. Soaring feature ceilings with an industrial pendant light are complemented by white-painted timber cabinetry and stone benchtops. There is a six burner Ilve gas range and an LG dishwasher. Top-quality Centor retractable fly screens have been installed to the external doors to the kitchen and dining room, offering the choice of either a flyscreen or a blockout privacy blind.

Push open the bi-fold doors to open the kitchen up to the outdoors. The alfresco areas and gardens were redone just a few years ago. Now the standout feature of the back garden is a beautiful plunge pool, tiled with iridescent glass mosaics.

The back veranda wraps around the kitchen and dining, offering a generous expanse of entertaining space with beautiful new jarrah decking overlooking the treed neighbourhood. You will daydream of spending summer evenings out here by the pool with a barbecue or over a long table dinner, entertaining friends. Pop next door to pick up a bottle of wine for dinner - conveniently located next door is Your Corner, a small boutique wine and liquor shop.

There is ideal separation between the secondary bedrooms and the main suite, nestled at the back of the home overlooking the back garden and pool.

A true parents retreat, this oversized room has a blissfully relaxing feel with soaring ceilings, ceiling fan and walk-in robe. Open the double-glazed window to pull in the cooling sea breezes. A vintage door reveals the stunning, renovated modern ensuite, which hints at North Fremantle's industrial heritage with exposed tapware to the spacious double shower. The ensuite has generous storage, with a floating double timber vanity and mirrored medicine cabinet above.

The home also has a combined laundry and family bathroom, also thoughtfully renovated with a modern industrial theme. In the back garden, laid with pet-resistant artificial turf, is a fantastic freestanding powered workshop with sink to the jarrah workbench. Use this versatile hideaway as a shed, man cave, studio or yoga room and enjoy washing off the beach sand under the heated outdoor shower.

The home has single gated off-street car parking, a 10kW solar panel system and has been recently fitted out with reverse-cycle air-conditioning. There is generous storage space underneath the house.

If you love character homes, pretty streets and coastal locations, this beautiful home could be for you.
