7b Swan Street, North Fremantle WA 6159

Live moments to the river, minutes to the beach and walking distance to some of the best cafes and restaurants North Fremantle has to offer in this wonderfully central, cosy terrace home.

Built in 1998 with a distinctly European design influence, this three bedroom house was one of the originals built in the Northbank Precinct. Designed for low-maintenance living in one of the most convenient locations in North Fremantle, it is close to everything, but quiet and retreat-like, with ample visitor street parking nearby. With its good natural light and timeless neutral colour palette, the home can be moved into as is. However, with great bones and a versatile floor plan, it also represents a great opportunity for those wanting a property on which they can put their own stamp and interior design.

There is a distinctly European feel to the home, with the upper floor designed around a welcoming, central terrace with terracotta tiling. Clad in a winding, mature wisteria, in summer the terrace is green and leafy, in winter the wisteria is bare-boughed, flooding the interior living spaces with extra natural light. A beautiful breezeway-style connection with raking glass ceilings connects the big terrace to a second balcony at the front of the home, which offers another welcoming spot to sit alfresco. Enjoy your coffee here in the mornings, or end the day with a glass of wine overlooking the street and enjoying the sea breezes. The thoughtful design of the house means the Fremantle Doctor can be pulled through the home in summer to naturally cool the home.

The main living areas are on the upper floor, with the kitchen offering direct access to the terrace, ideal for outdoor meals and easy entertaining. In the kitchen, honey-coloured solid timber cabinets and Corian benchtops give a timeless feel. There is a Bosch dishwasher and range hood, a six burner gas cooktop, two stainless steel ovens, and a large scullery with plenty of storage and worktop space. By the kitchen is the open-plan dining and family room, a capacious room with high ceilings, built-in cabinetry and a windowseat. Fresh white walls complement the neutral tiled floors, giving a modern Mediterranean feel. There is an upstairs powder room and linen closet near the stairwell. The upper floor also encompasses the main suite, which also connects to the terrace. The ensuite is fully tiled and has a twin vanity, toilet and bath. You won't want for storage with the large walk-in robe.

Part of a series of terraces on Swan Street, the elevation is modest and tidy, with a secure, gated portico entry. The layout is perfect for those who work from home, with a light-filled, good-sized bedroom, currently a home office, right by the front entry overlooking the street. There is another bedroom on this floor, also with lovely natural light, overlooking the back courtyard, with a large built-in robe. The ground floor has a central sitting room, which could also be used as a playroom or library. The ground floor also has a laundry and fully tiled, wet room-style bathroom. The laundry opens to the back courtyard garden with a fish pond and a beautiful tall tree.

The terrace comes with two off-street car bays, as well as an unexpected bonus - a big powered workshop or studio, with access from the back garden, ideal for additional storage for bikes. Ideal for downsizers, retirees or executive couples, small families or those looking for an investment, this is a great opportunity for those looking for a safe, secure and low-maintenance home with fantastic convenience.
