Green Title Klopper-Designed Architectural Masterpiece
Curving around the bend of a peaceful cul-de-sac, an iconic green title Klopper designed home is filled to the brim with personality. An inspired use of timber, steel, glass and bricks celebrate the raw beauty of natural materials while the rambling native gardens sloping at the rear and shady treed canopies capture that down-south feeling so well. This is what Freo living is all about; an architecturally unique home with plenty of character, a close-knit community of neighbours who look out for one another and easy walkability to all the action in Fremantle’s bustling precinct.
Beautiful in its simplicity, the unassuming façade conceals how much is yet to unfold within. Setting this home apart from its neighbours, steps lead down to the excavated front courtyard where climbing vines, sprawling jasmine, terraced gardens and a stone water feature converge to create a wonderful sense of zen.
True to Klopper’s style, earthy terracotta tiles meet exposed timber beams, recycled red-brick walls, black steel columns and walls of glass. Everywhere you look, leafy greenery wraps the exterior adding to the serene hideaway feel within. The neat u-kitchen has retained its 90s origins with laminate benchtops and a tiled splashback while the matte black hardware and stainless steel appliances add a modern touch. The laundry and separate WC are concealed nearby.
Coaxing you to immerse yourself in the surrounding trees and soothing sounds of nature, French doors from the lounge open up to a sheltered alfresco with another door to the back courtyard from the kitchen. The rear of the home is cocooned by beautiful native foliage, providing brilliant screening from below.
The steel and jarrah timber staircase rises towards the private bedroom zone, which is surprisingly street level. The master bedroom has an attic for storage and is generously proportioned with built-in robes, a ceiling fan and space for a desk or lounge to make the most of colourful sunset hues that stream through the windows. The family bathroom has been tastefully renovated to honour the industrial-inspired aesthetic throughout with black tapware, shower/bath combo, vanity and toilet. Each of the remaining bedrooms are good-sized, with built-in robes in one and a linen cupboard in the hallway. Ducted, reverse cycle air-conditioning adds to the comfort on this tranquil level.
Honouring the sustainability ethos inspired by raw materials, roof solar panels help keep your power bills low along with a solar powered heat pump hot water system. Both the front and rear gardens are reticulated with a secure, undercover car bay for parking and a single off-street space for an additional car.
Bolton Place is a special spot to live, neighbours regularly come together for Christmas street parties or an annual garage sale. A walking pathway at the end of the cul-de-sac leads to Stevens Reserve and families or dog owners will love the range of parks nearby including Booyeembara Park, Monument Hill and Virginia Ryan Park a few doors down. It’s so easy to walk, bus or bike to nearby beaches or into Freo and its cultural hub of dining, arts, music, entertainment, and events.
This is a rare opportunity to own a Klopper designed home and iconic piece of Freo’s history with everything you need on your doorstep.
