5/4 John Street, North Fremantle WA 6159

Riverside Retreat

Peacefully tucked away on one of North Fremantle's best riverfront streets, this beautifully renovated two bedroom home offers an easy, enviable coastal lifestyle.

Nestled at the end of a long driveway in a small, friendly group of just six residences, this is the kind of home that captures everything people love about the North Fremantle lifestyle. This is a cosy, retreat-like home in a central location that lets you be as introverted or extroverted as you feel like, with a medley of community hubs, cafes and things to do on your doorstep.

Meet friends for a morning walk along the river with stunning waterfront trails on your doorstep. Be at the white sands of Leighton or Port Beach in minutes. Watch the football at Gilbert Fraser Reserve across the road or take the dog there for a run and pick up your morning coffee from the local coffee van. Walk to the North Fremantle Bowlo for sunset bowls or meet friends at Mrs Brown Bar for a red wine and a burger for dinner. Just a short walk to the village heart of the Queen Victoria Street precinct, here you can enjoy local favourite spots like Ooh Coffee, Piggy Food Co, Mojo's, Mrs Brown Bar, Wild Bakery and The Bridge House. Families will appreciate that North Fremantle Primary School is just down the road, while childcare, public transport and shops are also nearby. This is the kind of location where you could easily find yourself leaving the car at home for days on end.

With two bedrooms and a lovely courtyard garden, this versatile home will appeal to singles, professional couples, downsizers, retirees and small families. A solid 80s brick build that has been thoughtfully renovated and upgraded in recent years, the house presents beautifully, with a fresh, coastal-inspired interior that is modern and timeless.

Step inside to a light-filled open-plan kitchen, living and dining that feels calm, warm and immediately inviting. Beautiful solid blackbutt floorboards flow throughout the living spaces and bedrooms upstairs, while new white plantation shutters and a soft palette enhance the relaxing atmosphere.

The upgraded kitchen is the heart; bright and light from its north-facing orientation, fresh white cabinets and new glass splashback. Chefs will love the Bosch appliances including a wall oven, induction cooktop and dishwasher. Seat guests at the island bench with a wine while you put the final touches on dinner. The lounge area is equally inviting, with custom built-in storage and shelving beneath the freshly carpeted staircase.

The garden is one of this home's loveliest features. Lush, established and fully reticulated, it is filled with star jasmine, native violets, Indian hawthorn hedging, crepe myrtle and beautifully scented stephanotis. A magnificent mature wild plum creates shade and character, while fertile soil is a legacy of the market garden once cultivated by the original character home at the front of the property.

Out the back is a patio with new roofing, a lovely place to dine, read or relax surrounded by greenery. A rainwater tank provides water for hand watering and an outdoor shower is perfect for rinsing off after the beach, or washing sandy paws after a romp at nearby Harvey Beach, the local dog beach.

Upstairs are two lovely light-filled bedrooms. Capturing the southern light with a private balcony, the main bedroom has pretty ceiling cornicing, a generously sized walk-in robe and split system air-conditioning.

The second bedroom includes a built-in robe, ceiling fan and built-in shelving, giving it wonderful flexibility as a child's room, nursery, home office or study.

Twin barn-style sliding doors open to the renovated bathroom, fully tiled in fresh, glossy white with a grey floor and a generous shower. The home also has a new modern laundry and separate toilet downstairs.

The current owner has carefully upgraded the home for comfort, efficiency and peace of mind, adding a new GoodWe solar system, new hot-water system, ADT security system, outdoor sensor lighting and Crimsafe doors. The gardens are gated and there is a single carport, with potential to easily adapt the fencing to accommodate a second vehicle.

If you are dreaming of a home with nothing that needs to be done, in a location where you can walk to everything and come home to relax, this lovely place could be for you.
