Live in one of the most beautiful parkside homes around with this architect-designed family home, nestled in one of North Fremantle's best locations just metres from the Swan River.
Designed by renowned local architect Tom Roberts, this incredible limestone and timber home has become a North Fremantle landmark, its charming elevation drawing admiring glances from passers-by.
Step inside and you will not be disappointed. This special home feels warm, welcoming and unique. Built in 1999 with the highest-grade natural materials available, the house has aged gracefully, with a timeless palette of limestone walls, travertine and marble floors, cedar ceilings and windows, jarrah doorframes and salvaged timber. Every room captures lovely light and a pretty outlook across garden, street or parklands, while thoughtfully designed spaces feel connected yet private.
A gracious entry portico and chateau door opens onto the front entrance with limestone internal wall and travertine floors that run throughout the north-facing ground floor living.
You'll feel like the park next door is an extension of your garden, with your own gate access, a huge balcony and alfresco with built-in fireplace. Take your morning coffee to the alfresco to enjoy the morning sun and birdsong before starting your day with a walk along riverfront trails along Rocky Bay.
Bright and light, with park view, the kitchen with informal meals is the heart of the home. Chefs will love the generous space, granite benchtops, abundant storage, fantastic built-in corner cool room, dishwasher, Smeg oven and gas cooktop.
The living and dining is an elegant, inviting room that opens up to the alfresco. A fireplace has a marble hearth and mantelpiece of recycled timber from the old Albany jetty. Push aside the sliding cavity door to create a harmonious living flow or close this room up in winter and curl up by the fire.
A glorious wood-panelled study or library is a reader's dream. This spacious yet cosy room has soaring ceilings, cedar-clad walls, huge bookcases and a secret bookcase door partition that hides a cubbyhole that could be straight out of an Agatha Christie novel. Like the living room, the study fireplace has a salvaged surround from the Albany jetty. Make it your second living room, parents retreat or home office.
The architect designed the home so parents could live easily on the main floor, with the main bedroom here, and good separation between the upper floor bedroom wing, ideal for children or guests. The spacious main suite has raked ceilings, timber robes, ceiling fan and its own access to a private walled garden - with original ornate security grills to the external doors.
Nearby is a well-appointed laundry, a guest powder and bathroom with bath and shower, closet and twin vanity. Showcasing the home's calibre of finishes, even the ceilings in the bathroom and laundry are clad in cedar, while the floors are emerald-coloured marble. There is internal access to the tidy double garage with wall of storage cupboards.
The upper level offers ideal quarters for younger kids, teenagers or adult children who want space, or for guest bedrooms. Here there is a big, bright family bathroom with sloping ceilings, ceiling fans and bath and two north-facing, very spacious bedrooms. One has a dressing room, the second a built-in bookcase. Both rooms open onto a huge balcony with treed views and travertine floor. Your teens will be the envy of their friends.
This dream location is nestled in the narrowest part of the North Fremantle peninsular, the closest you can be in Perth to both river and beach. It is quiet yet minutes to all the best North Fremantle offers - coastal dining at Leighton Beach, cafes, dining and amenities at Queen Victoria Street and community hubs like the North Fremantle Social Farm and Bowling Club. Nearby is North Fremantle Primary School, childcare, and public transport, which makes it an easy ride to the CBD or Fremantle cappuccino strip.
An appealing, versatile dream home for a family, professional couples or empty nesters who love to have grandchildren or guests to stay, this is a special home. Make it yours.
