4 Rose Street, South Fremantle is a masterfully-renewed 4 bedroom 3 bathroom Victorian Georgian treasure, lovingly crafted from its early-1890s bones into a one-of-a-kind showpiece.
Set behind a classic garden wall this brick-and-limestone beauty still carries all the charm of its workers' cottage origins from the elevated bull-nose verandah entry deck and gorgeous sash windows to the red-brick quoins and ornate chimney - yet now shines with a bespoke modern edge. Cleverly renovated and extended with rare artistry, this former harbourmaster's house features a custom-crafted kitchen, stunning cabinetry, antique touches and an inspired blend of recycled and imported finishes.
Soaring high ceilings, restored wooden Jarrah floorboards and decorative feature ceiling roses, cornices and skirting boards are all commonplace and help preserve the residence's awe-inspiring character of yesteryear.
A generous primary bedroom suite invites you in with its lovely bay window that looks out to the yachts on the harbour, as well as custom ensuite bathroom with wardrobe, a Velux skylight for natural illumination and a sleek antique Empire granite vanity.
A vast central living room with a skylight overlooks a sunken open-plan dining and kitchen area with a gas log-fire heater and a handy storage attic with drop-down-ladder access.
The kitchen is entirely bespoke and comprises a near-four-hundred-year-old French oak cabinet from Lauder & Howard antiques, as well as an adjacent circa-1930s Jarrah architect's cabinet. Marble bench tops are from a Parisian hotel, dating back to the early-1900s add to the charm and warmth of this space. The waterfall window is complemented by a scullery area with double sinks, courtyard views and a stainless-steel Fisher and Paykel double-drawer dishwasher, as well as a Falcon five-burner 110-centimetre gas-cooktop and double electric/pyrolytic-oven setup, housed in a solid-oak bar from a 1900s Nottingham pub.
The light-filled main family bathroom boasts a striking granite composite free standing bathtub and a ceiling mounted rain shower.
The functional laundry to the side is tiled and offers ample storage solutions. The parlour - a perfect place to sit, relax and unwind connects seamlessly to the outdoors. There, a Syrian marble-floor insert (from Lauder & Howard) catches the eye immediately, whilst the hidden wine storage has a rack for 60 bottles and its own light. There is additional storage above and around up the staircase.
Upstairs, antique leadlights with fire-rated glass dominate the windows, with an open library area and study space welcome you at the top. Double French doors flow out to a serene side balcony deck with a leafy green aspect over the courtyard down below.
An elevated fourth or "guest" bedroom suite doubles as an alternative main-bedroom wing that is light, bright and large. Accompanying plenty of natural morning sunshine and glimpses of the ocean is an open ensuite/third bathroom with a walk-in shower.
Outdoors and accessible via both the dining room and parlour is the most secluded of courtyard settings - home to a pitched entertaining patio and an enchanting lush edible garden. Amongst the exotic selection of fruit plants are lemon, grapefruit, dwarf sugar fig, bay leaf and olive trees, as well as two delightful grapevines.
The garden bar with double servery windows to the courtyard is perfectly placed to extend the entertaining area. Private right-of-way access via the tranquil rear laneway leaves plenty of scope for you to add a garage or carport to the back courtyard in the near future, if you so wish.
A custom remote-controlled driveway gate secures the single front car bay, with a separate pedestrian gate revealing the front garden and breathtaking sunsets from the deck.
Embrace living just steps away from the harbour, glorious South Beach, your morning brew from one of the many local coffee shops or dining out at local hotels and nearby top-tier South Terrace restaurants every night.
Little Lefroy's around the corner, South Freo Continental, South Beach Train Station, schools, shopping and the heart of Fremantle town are also only walking distance from your front door, for good measure. Convenience has never been more impressive.
