77C Thompson Road, North Fremantle WA 6159

Walk to the river and beach in just minutes from this light-filled home on an enviable north-facing corner block.

Completed in 2000, this contemporary, three bedroom, two bathroom house was built on land believed to have once been occupied by the stables of the Dingo Flour mill across the street. Today this charming pocket of North Fremantle is highly sought after, with quaint streets that blend heritage and modern homes; converted warehouses and old factories. Young families in particular appreciate the easy stroll to both river and ocean as well as North Fremantle Primary School, childcare, walking trails, cafes, restaurants, playgrounds and parks.

On the corner of historic Thompson Road and quiet Eucla Court, this house is thought to have been designed by its architect owner for his own family. The house displays an architect's understanding of natural light at every turn; designed to be spacious and bright throughout.

The open-plan dining is the heart; a bright, airy room with two-storey ceilings and northern aspect across the courtyard garden. To the landing above, a powder-coated wrought iron balustrade and hand-painted Dingo Flour signage are nods to the industrial neighbourhood. This is a stunning room you will love to entertain in. Or enjoy dinner outside. The ground floor spaces wrap around a north-facing courtyard garden with limestone walls and a shade sail over the entertaining area. With paving and a small lawn, the garden offers enough space for small children to play without it being high maintenance.

The kitchen has also been orientated so parents can keep an eye on children outside. Neat and tidy, with glass splashback and contemporary cabinetry, the kitchen has generous benchtop space, filtered water on tap, stainless steel dishwasher, four burner gas cooktop and good storage.

At the front of the home is a large family room with an outlook across the pretty front gardens and the old red brick walls of the Dingo Flour mill. Over the hallway is a good-sized and airy home office, conveniently just by the front entry.

A staircase made of reclaimed jarrah (with storage beneath) leads to the bedrooms. The main suite is spacious, with two robes, contemporary Juliet-style balcony and private feel. Lie in bed and look across the branches of the jacaranda trees on the street. The ensuite has a bath by a window, a big glass-fronted shower and a vanity with good benchtop and storage space.

Another wing holds two minor bedrooms. One has a built-in robe and Juliet balcony; perfect for bringing through cooling sea breezes; the other a corner window that brings in the northern light. Both bedrooms have street outlooks and over to the mill. These bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom with large shower.

The laundry with storage is just off the kitchen, with access to the single garage with exposed brick wall and storage space. There is also a second car driveway space secured by electric gate. The house has split systems and ducted air-conditioning.

Thompson Road residents enjoy proximity to Leighton Beach, the Swan River, gyms and fitness studios, local stores and the bustling Queen Victoria café strip with iconic local hot spots including Habitue, Mojo's, Piggy Food, Propeller and Flipside Burgers. Further down Thompson Road is the local skate park, community hall, bowling club and North Fremantle Social Farm.

This is a versatile home suited to young families, couples or those looking for a lock-up-and-leave by the coast. While the home office is a bonus for work-from-homers, this is also a great home for professionals who commute to the city, being just 13km to the CBD and less than 500m to North Fremantle Station. And with scope for a strong rental return, it is ideal for investors. Come see this lovely home and location for yourself.
