39 Terrazzo Lane, Fremantle WA 6160

SOLD BY CONNIE HANDCOCK

This charming port city is remarkable for its history, and what better way to nod to its origins than a home like this. Rich tones of jarrah throughout, detailed paneling, crisp white finishes, and high-ceilinged spaces with enough modernity to suit the now – including a beautiful kitchen at the heart of it all, built by the cabinet maker owner. The community feel of this Freo pocket is another highlight, brimming with activity from weekend sports, to friendly locals enjoying the neighbourhood, and the bustling town centre only minutes away – not to mention beautiful beaches and the river.

The sheltered porch opens into a frosted glass entranceway and atmosphere of peaceful seclusion in the very large front living room with original built-in bench seating and a cozy, timber and brick fireplace. Air-conditioning is a welcome addition to every room with two more bedrooms nearby, inclusive of a generous master suite with a sparkling chandelier and extensive built-in storage – both sharing the Federation style bathroom in Victorian-red tiles.

Anchoring the old with the new, the modern kitchen is a complementary contrast: Caesarstone benchtops, white pressed-tin splashback, soft-close cabinetry with stylish cup handles, butler’s pantry, and sleek, black appliances including a Smeg 900mm oven with 6-burner gas stovetop and Haier dishwasher. Below, an extension added in the 90s has a ‘secret passageway’ that leads to a third bedroom with slate floors, glossy-white built-ins, ensuite combined with laundry, and private access to the spacious back garden and its leafy serenity.

From the lounge, a series of white French doors flow open to the rear, undercover veranda and long, north-facing backyard filled with birdsong, lush lawn and a variety of trees: lemon, lime, olives, frangipani and a magnificent flame tree. There are well-established veggie gardens, framed by corrugated iron with a mural of Freo ‘giraffes’, and raised decking for a fire pit or outdoor lounge. The powered garage/work shed is especially impressive, with room for tools, DIY projects and more – plus, there’s ample space to park multiple vehicles off-street on the paved brick driveway out the front including a trailer, boat or caravan.

There’s something quite special about a home that exudes the warmth and character of yesteryear, with lovely contemporary touches and the luxury of a huge 756m2 block that makes this an especially rare Freo find.
