Subtly understated from its charming street frontage, this character-laden Fremantle residence is in fact a beautiful architecturally-designed Brian Klopper home that combines both rustic and urban with solid wooden floorboards, high and exposed angled ceilings and a versatile floor plan like no other.
It also enjoys a whisper-quiet cul-de-sac setting graced by a resident owl and with the sprawling Fremantle Park nestled right at the end.
The house currently presents as a 3x2 with several living areas, inclusive of a separate one-bedroom one-bathroom studio at the rear. There is angled store area space that "may" lend itself to another bathroom, depending on design, etc.
In a modern sense though, the entry level plays host to a lovely terracotta-tiled television room with a ceiling fan, a sky window and double doors that open out to the side garden. Only inches away is the fully-tiled main bathroom with a toilet, vanity, bathtub, showerhead and heated towel rack.
One level up, a spacious study has its very own storeroom, feature sky windows for extra natural light to filter in and custom cabinetry. It also leads through to a cosy bedroom with sky windows of its own, a ceiling fan, split-system air-conditioning and double doors opening out to a private rear balcony deck. Wake up to splendid leafy views, whilst another massive storeroom is simply an added bonus.
On the top floor, the storage loft boasts high angled ceilings, reverse-cycle air-conditioning and a striking feature window. At ground level, most of your casual time will be spent enjoying the huge proportions of an open-plan family, dining and kitchen area with terracotta floor tiles, a burning pot-belly wood fireplace for the depths of winter and stylish light fittings.
The kitchen itself comprises of a large walk-in pantry, timber bench tops, double sinks, a water-filter tap, a stainless-steel Fisher and Paykel double dishwasher and two lots of separate double doors. One set opens out to a gorgeous paved courtyard, with the other extending to a secluded and paved garden courtyard for sitting and contemplating everything that life throws at you.
Also downstairs is a delightful laundry with a wooden bench and ample storage space. The separate studio out back has its own fan, split-system air-conditioning, high angled ceilings, a shower, toilet and vanity within its ensuite and granny-flat possibilities – enhanced by double doors that reveal access to the garden courtyard area.
Extras include a pitched single carport, space for a second medium vehicle to park in tandem just behind, a garden shed, a retractable clothesline and a retractable awning. Throw in a Rinnai instantaneous gas hot-water system, water-temperature controls in the main bathroom and laundry, reticulated gardens and a private and secure front garden courtyard – ideal for all seasons.
A quintessential Fremantle lifestyle full of culture and cuisine awaits you, with public transport (including Fremantle Train Station), cafes, restaurants, bars, shopping, the boat harbour and even beautiful beaches all only minutes away from what will soon be your front doorstep. The term “one of a kind” couldn’t be any more accurate!
