All grace and grandeur, yet with the welcoming atmosphere of a home that truly embraces family life, this is something very special. On a large block, sheltered amongst lovely gardens, it is a fine example of a significant residence built at the beginning of the 20th century. Along with the grand scale, towering ceilings and treasured historic features, it is also bright, airy and beautifully functional. Newly refreshed and refurbished interiors have brought this piece of East Fremantle's history to life and the grounds have been immaculately refined to create the perfect setting. Wraparound veranda, spectacular stained glass, vast rooms, north-facing outdoor entertaining, and a wonderful master suite encompassing its own sitting room are just some of the delights. It would be a privilege to be the next custodian of this remarkable historic home.
A white timber portico invites you through the garden and up the wide, sweeping steps and the impressive leadlight entry. Inside is all elegance: a vast jarrah-floored arched hallway leading to four grand rooms, all with fireplaces. One is a large living room with its own leadlight door to the veranda, and the most spectacular of all is the master suite: a splendid arch spans the space, encompassing bedroom and sitting room, and beyond is a walk-in robe and a delightful ensuite with cast iron bath. Leadlight French doors open to a sunroom, study space or playroom.
The massive open plan flows across the northern side of the home, where the new white kitchen in engineered stone with butler's sink is perfect, floors are sleek micro-concrete and there is a freestanding bath in the bathroom nearby. Huge old timber beams mark the alfresco dining space, and beyond are limestone walled gardens and sweeping lawn, with space for a pool and trampoline. The long carport leads to a tandem garage with plenty of room to store a trailer or tinnie and the adjacent workshop with skylight can also function as a studio office.
The river, parks, Richmond Primary, and Bicton shopping are all nearby, making this an ideal location for an exceptional home.
