SOLD BY CONNIE HANDCOCK, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS - UNDER OFFER AFTER FIRST HOME OPEN
Embracing the elevation granted by its prized corner position, this is a home of history, character, and contemporary style. Originally built c.1905, century-old charm has been beautifully reimagined into an architectural vision that prioritises natural light, space, flow, and flexibility. Equally compelling is its brilliant location on the edge of South Fremantle: the beach is minutes away by foot, bike, or car, with shops, vibrant eateries, parklands, public transport, Beaconsfield Primary School, and the Freo Farmers Markets all a leisurely wander in their own right.
Introduced by a breezy ocean-view veranda and tranquil garden setting, the tuck-pointed brick and stone facade nods to its storied past. Inside, warm jarrah floors, lead-light glass, ornate ceiling roses, picture rails, and decorative fireplaces grace many of the high-ceilinged spaces, including three bedrooms with built-in robes and a flexible formal living room.
Beyond is a spectacular transition to the new, crafted by Horizon Design and Davrob Constructions. The formal dining features venetian plaster - a sentiment continued in the laundry - while the main bathroom has been renovated to perfection: clawfoot bath, brushed-brass tapware, walk-in rain shower, toilet with bidet hose, floating vanity, and heated towel rail.
Lofty, bright, and beautiful, the heart of the home carries a magnificent sense of space that spills outdoors with ease. Natural light is drawn in from every direction, and the Miele-appointed kitchen is exquisite: stone benchtops, full-height cabinetry in white and oak-veneer, repurposed copper splashback, and a long island that faces the living. The laundry sits adjacent, with exterior access to additional storage and a drying court, and incorporates a second, stylish bathroom. Completing the main home, ducted and zoned reverse-cycle air-conditioning features throughout, while energy efficiency is catered to with roof solar panels.
Outside is simply serene. A Chinese elm sits pride of place, amidst gardens complete with raised jarrah decking, stone beds, native plantings, a silver princess tree, and moonflower climbing vines along the fence line. The timber-ceilinged alfresco is the perfect spot for a family barbecue or sunset aperitif, while the air-conditioned studio can be anything: guest accommodation, multi-generational living, an Airbnb offering, au pair quarters, creatives' workspace or home office. There's independent gated access via Agnes Street and a stretch of grass alongside that can comfortably park a vehicle, small boat or trailer off-street.
This character home is just the right combination of stunning style and authenticity, with every perk of lifestyle and location on your doorstep.
