This beautiful Fremantle home's deceptive heritage façade belies an extraordinary three-level residence with four generous bedrooms, three showers (one under the trees) and an upstairs master suite offering spectacular ocean and harbour views.
This expansive home is where historical character, stunning views, and a private resort-style pool oasis come together.
Set in a highly sought-after pocket of Fremantle, this circa-1900 semi-detached worker's cottage on its own title offers a sense of history with its solid limestone walls, beautiful tuck-pointed joining, and distinctive unique window shades on the north side. Original jarrah floors and soaring decorative ceilings continue the heritage character inside.
Three sizeable bedrooms sit privately to one side of the long, generous hallway leading to the original dining room and contemporary kitchen, with quality cabinetry, appliance nook, Corian benchtops, Chef wall oven, Smeg induction cooktop, and Bosch dishwasher...all complemented by stunning sea views.
Upstairs the entire floor is a spectacular private master retreat. Wake to ocean and harbour panoramas, coffee on the private balcony through French doors, or relax in the claw-foot bath while watching the sunset. Its spectacular vaulted jarrah ceiling, a generous walk-in dressing room, and open-plan ensuite create an indulgent sanctuary with natural stone basin, leadlight accents, and a cupboard-hidden bar-fridge.
On the lower-ground level, a large family room with bifold doors delivers a relaxed beach-house feel with coastal tones, engineered French-grey timber floor, and vaulted ceiling. Broad windows overlook the private garden featuring a kidney-shaped in-ground saltwater pool, limestone paving, lush planting, and a shaded garden pavilion creating an expansive and secluded retreat. An outdoor heated shower completes the resort-style experience.
Designed for easy family living and entertaining, this level contains a laundry, external drying-court, shopper's entry, a substantial storeroom/wine cellar, and a powder room.
Practical features include a new 16-panel solar system, ducted and zoned reverse-cycle air-conditioning on every level, block-out west-facing blinds, reticulated gardens, two individual tandem garages, and plenty of off-street parking.
This unique home at 67 Swanbourne Street is a rare Fremantle offering - from its walk-everywhere location it combines timeless heritage with contemporary comfort, resort-style outdoor living, with the bonus of spectacular ocean views from two levels.
