Warmth & Generosity: Flexible Character Home on a Large Block
Beyond the classic street presence of this substantial home is much, much more; a large, elevated block with long views over the landscape, flourishing native gardens, big workshop, hardstand for a boat/caravan or both, and a vast under croft set up for independent living complete with its own kitchen and expansive office. With the river a walk away, the open feeling of treed green space over the road and the privileged surrounds of an historic East Fremantle street, this is a lovely setting for a very flexible family home.
Through the white picket gate, the gardens are a riot of colour, leading to the wide portico and arched hallway where floors, skirtings and architraves are all in jarrah. Two large, high-ceilinged bedrooms span the hallway, overlooking the front garden. The master bedroom features a walk-in-robe and a bright white ensuite. Another bedroom has a long wall of built-in robes and all bedrooms have white plantation shutters also found throughout the home. Entering the spacious open-plan kitchen, living and dining gives you a real sense of how high up you are. See the birds in flight and enjoy long views over treetops and landscape. The granite-topped white kitchen features quality stainless steel appliances and the space also has a wood-fired stove for winter. A bathroom and separate powder room are nearby.
Step out to a paved terrace at the rear, a lovely spot to relax, enjoy the elevation, the views, and look down to the beautiful rear gardens. Out back are all the advantages of the big block, a large workshop and shed, carport, water tank, established reticulated gardens, space to grow veggies, room for a trampoline and a pool and plenty of paved space accessed down the wide driveway and ideal for boat and caravan. There is also independent access to the under croft, with a very large bedroom, vast office or living space, shower room, toilet, laundry and full dine-in kitchen. All the options are here; extended family, rental income, business, teen retreat, band practice or whatever you need. It’s a fantastic bonus in the prestigious Richmond Ward, where you can walk to local shopping and primary school, enjoy the easy proximity to Fremantle, and stroll down to the Left Bank for a sunset drink by the river.
