Hidden away from the hustle and bustle yet walking distance to everything you could want, is a magical bespoke limestone residence that will leave you spellbound.
The last of his commissioned Fremantle homes, this Brian Klopper designed and handcrafted residence features one-off stunning limestone barrel vaulted ceilings in every room, from the large open-plan living area, right down to the study and storeroom.
Other exceptional trademark features include - soaring limestone walls, huge steel-framed windows, open light-filled spaces, and a rich palette of natural textures, including stone, recycled brick, 'Messmate' (Australian Oak) and marble.
Solar passive design ensures the home is flooded with light whilst being
comfortable all year round. The open-plan kitchen and living areas are upstairs, and take full advantage of the northern winter sun that pours in through the giant expanse of glass and fills the place with natural light and warmth. The cleverly positioned roof panels are angled to ensure summer sun never hits the ceiling, keeping the interior so much cooler in summer.
The Great Room is where you'll love to spend your time.
At one end is the kitchen, glowing in the warmth of honey-coloured cabinetry that cleverly conceals the fridge, freezer and Asko dishwasher. Practical stainless-steel bench tops add a master-chef element, while the central island, crafted from a single slab of 300 million year-old Moroccan fossil marble, will have you spellbound.
Dining, relaxing, entertaining are a dream in this big open space, especially when you open the doors to the elevated north facing terrace, spacious enough for the largest dinner party or barbecue gathering. On the southern side, glazed doors open to a 'Juliet' balcony that is position to catch the sea breeze with a picture-perfect outlook to the courtyard, a giant jacaranda tree, and the garden and pond below.
Downstairs, floors are creamy travertine marble, a perfect compliment to the limestone walls. The main suite has built-in robes, its own ensuite and a view to the garden. This offers a tranquil oasis under the jacaranda tree, where you can sit with a morning coffee or lunch alongside the koi pond, water feature and beautiful mosaic wall; a work of art created by the current owner.
A study nook offers a delightful spot to sit and read or catch up on emails, and there are two more bedrooms with garden views. They share the main bathroom, which has a modern open shower and modern glass vanity basin.
For those that work from home, a separate steel-framed glass studio or home office in the garden provides the perfect spot.
A huge walk-in storeroom off the laundry and a walk-in linen closet under the stairs provide all the storage you could need.
If you're thinking of downsizing or a lock-and-leave, this is the ultimate low maintenance home - limestone walls mean no painting, ever, and the easy care gardens are reticulated. Along with the large double carport with extra high ceilings there is extra parking on the forecourt, with its intricate red brick paving.
With the cafes, shops and attractions of central Fremantle all just minutes away, this is the lifestyle you've been looking for!
