CONTEMPORARY LOCK AND LEAVE HOME NEAR THE RIVER
Enjoy a peaceful pace of life on a quiet street just moments from the river's edge. Beautifully renovated and with low-maintenance gardens, this charming three bedroom, two bathroom home leaves nothing to do except move in and relax.
Built in 2002 in the desirable North Bank precinct, the two-level home has wide versatility, making it appealing for singles, executive couples, downsizers, empty nesters, young families or investors. It also suits those looking for a low-maintenance lock-up-and-leave or coastal city base.
The house has served its current owner well over the years, transitioning from a single's home, to a couple's first home together, before undergoing a considerate and thorough renovation to become a perfect home for a young family. Bruce Street has attracted numerous young families who appreciate the convenient location, with North Fremantle Primary School, childcare and local parks and playgrounds within walking distance.
Set just back from the river's edge and with a close-knit community feel, Bruce Street is one of Northbank's most desired streets, edged by pretty homes and treed verges, and with private local access to the river and iconic Sorrell Park, with scenic cycle and walk paths.
Queen Victoria Street is a short stroll away; with local hotspots including Propeller, Ooh Coffee, Brucetown, Mojo's, Flipside, Habitue and Mrs Brown Bar. Leighton Beach, public transport and the hubs of Fremantle and East Fremantle are also close. This is the kind of home where you can easily find yourself leaving the car at home for a week.
On an easy-care block, number 6 has a pleasing elevation, with white walls, recycled red brick paving complemented by lovely mature trees; a Chinese tallow, olive and lemon tree, and easy-care succulents and natives planted beneath. With the current owners enjoying travelling, the gardens have been planned to require next to no maintenance, and the single garage can encompass a small camper trailer. There is a driveway car parking space in front, and a storeroom or workshop.
The light-filled family room has tall windows overlooking the front gardens. Fitted out with hard-wearing timber look vinyl flooring, the living areas have a lovely sense of airiness and light, with higher-than-standard ceilings and good connection to the outdoors. By the central staircase is enough space for a drop zone or a study or home office corner.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with Tasmanian oak butcherblock benchtops, open plywood shelves and subway tiles. There is a walk-in pantry, four burner gas cooktop, stainless steel oven and dishwasher. This is an ideal kitchen for those who love to entertain - chat with guests while preparing dinner at the long island bench.
The dining area opens up to the back garden. Here a recycled brick paved area beneath a tall Chinese tallow tree offers a pleasant space for an outdoor dining setting. Enjoy your coffee out here in the mornings or enjoy long dinners with friends.
The ground floor also encompasses a renovated powder room, and a laundry with garden access and pet door.
A well-planned upper floor has the main suite at the front of the home, a large, light-filled room with a pretty street outlook, lovely walk-in robe and renovated ensuite with glass-fronted shower and herringbone tile feature wall. The bathrooms and both powder rooms have all been renovated with the same neutral, modern colour scheme, creating a sense of continuity through the home.
The other wing of the upper floor encompasses the two double-sized minor bedrooms. Both light-filled with built-in robes, these bedrooms share a family bathroom with bath, double vanity with storage, and separate powder room. There is a large four-door linen cupboard to the landing.
If you dream of living in a riverside enclave close to the beach, dining, entertainment and all the best North Fremantle has to offer, this delightful home could be for you.
