42 Riverside Road, East Fremantle WA 6158

Sitting high above limestone walls with incredible views and the river below is a warm and welcoming spacious home with room for everyone to have their own space, to pursue their passions, and to come together in a place that is built for family. The river is a constant presence, with views over to Cantonment Hill and the cranes of the port, across to North Fremantle, and around the curving water to Mosman Park. This elevated block on the corner of Pier Street is one of the most spectacular positions you could imagine, and the indoor-outdoor flow of this spacious two-storey home matches the airy waterside atmosphere.

A flexible range of living areas includes a spacious parents' retreat upstairs; you can enjoy poolside dining by the outdoor kitchen, and the deck in the front garden above the river is a great spot to watch the boats and observe the changing colours of the sunset.

The veranda rising from Pier Street leads to the leadlight entry, and the double-height lobby inside hints at the grand scale of this home. A vast living area has a curving wall of windows embracing the view, opening to the western garden facing the water. Another living room or office shares that vista, leading to the lovely granite-topped kitchen, dining and casual living. The open feeling is at its best here – flowing on one side to the riverside garden, and also opening to the outdoor kitchen, alfresco and pool. Another living area, or games room or large office, also opens to the pool area and rear garden, where water cascades down a high stone wall.

Nearby is a massive four-car garage, complete with temperature-controlled wine room. Also on this level are two bedrooms and a marble-tiled bathroom.

The panorama becomes even more spectacular upstairs, especially from the master suite, where you can enjoy the seclusion of a large parents' retreat and step out to your own terrace. Three more upstairs bedrooms all have built-in desks for the students in the family and of course there's a family bathroom to service them.

Walk, ride, run the dog in the park over the road, or stroll to riverside restaurants. This is a family home that really works, with good energy, a warm atmosphere, heaps of space, and lots of practicality and flexibility, all in an astounding location.
