Offering a captivating blend of history and modern sophistication, this charming 3 bedroom 2 bathroom heritage-listed home seamlessly marries the elegance of yesteryear with contemporary comfort and a touch of quality in its stunningly-unassuming renovations and extensions.
A striking bull-nose entry verandah makes an instant first impression and precedes soaring high ceilings, solid wooden Jarrah floorboards, feature ceiling cornices, decorative ceiling roses and high skirting boards – most prevalent within the original front part of the house – that will take you on an enchanting journey back through time.
A large front third bedroom doubles as a study – or home office – with ample built-in storage and shelving options. Also off the entry, a huge second bedroom next door is fitted with a ceiling fan and has its own split-system air-conditioning unit for climate control.
A corner Heatglo gas fireplace warms the central lounge room, whilst the adjacent wet area combines the main bathroom – complete with a bathtub, an elevated rain shower, a toilet, stone vanity and under-bench storage – with a cleverly-concealed European-style laundry behind the privacy of double doors, boasting a sleek stone bench top for good measure.
Polished terrazzo concrete floors grace a spectacular light-filled master suite with nice high windows, split-system air-conditioning, a custom-fitted walk-in wardrobe with “his and hers” separate entries, a private north-facing “retreat” of a front garden courtyard to sit and relax in and a sumptuous fully-tiled ensuite bathroom – ceiling-mounted rain shower, stone vanity, hung toilet, hidden storage and all.
The stylish concrete continues into – and dominates – the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area at the rear, right beside an intimate atrium garden and an accessible second garden courtyard with benched seating and plenty of shaded created by its established trees. Two Daikin split-system air-conditioning units keep this light, bright and breezy space nice and comfortable all year round, with more high windows complementing a classy kitchen graced by sleek white cabinetry, sparkling stone bench tops, double sinks, a water-filter tap, an appliance nook, a Bosch ceramic cooktop, a stainless-steel Bosch oven/grill and an integrated Panasonic Inverter microwave. The custom media nook is also finished off by a stone bench top.
Outdoor access from here is rather seamless and reveals an amazing entertaining deck out back – home to a shade sail, a pond, leafy surrounds, an access door into the second bathroom/laundry and a large powered lock-up storeroom. A side gate to your hidden drying courtyard is simply an added bonus.
The lovely Horrie Long Reserve can be found down the road and East Fremantle Primary School is only one street away itself – with John Curtin College of the Arts virtually across the road and East Fremantle’s vibrant George Street food and coffee precinct just walking distance from your front doorstep. Stroll into the heart of Fremantle itself where all of your desires will be effortlessly accessible – from the iconic Fremantle War Memorial on Monument Hill, the bustling Fremantle Markets and beautiful Bathers Beach to picturesque Esplanade Park and the buzzing cappuccino strip along South Terrace. The best of both worlds truly are on offer to you here, providing you with a desirable lifestyle that is as impressive as they come!
