Federation elegance, exceptional proportions and an enviable East Fremantle lifestyle come together in this character filled circa 1903 residence, set on a generous 855sqm block.
Nestled among a beautiful streetscape of heritage properties, 28 Alexandra Road makes an unforgettable first impression. As you enter through the secure limestone and wrought-iron fencing and electric sliding driveway gate, you're welcomed by lush lawns and established gardens, beautifully framed by mature plantings and an abundance of roses that add colour, fragrance and old-world charm. The elegant Federation façade then comes into view, with its sweeping verandah, gabled portico and timeless detailing creating an inviting sense of arrival.
At the heart of the entrance is an extraordinary, arched leadlight door surround - a true masterpiece of heritage craftsmanship. Complete with the home's original name, Blackwood, etched into the glass above the door, this bespoke stained-glass statement filters rich, jewel-toned light into the hallway throughout the day.
Step inside to a wide central gallery featuring soaring decorative ceilings and gleaming polished jarrah floorboards, seamlessly connecting the home's historic roots with its light-filled modern spaces.
To the left, an elegant formal lounge captures immediate attention with its lush garden outlook and central fireplace. Flowing directly into the generous formal dining room, it provides a refined setting for long lunches and special occasions.
At the core of the floor plan, the galley-style kitchen bridges the formal and informal living areas. Outfitted with a full-length stainless-steel benchtop and quality Smeg appliances, it combines practical functionality with a leafy view over the garden.
Beyond the kitchen, the casual meals area opens into an impressive rear family room - a light-filled extension built for relaxed everyday living. Large windows and French doors capture the northern sun and draw you out to a limestone-paved alfresco overlooking the sparkling tropical-style swimming pool. Private, leafy, and effortlessly inviting, this backyard paradise is tailor-made for summer entertaining and easy weekends.
The indulgent master suite serves as a quiet sanctuary, offering the grand proportions typical of the era. Its luxurious ensuite is equally substantial, boasting a freestanding bath with waterfall tapware, a separate shower and an oversized vanity. A second renovated bathroom honours the home's heritage with classic black-and-white checkerboard tiling and a clawfoot bath. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, each with walk-in robes, form a private domain perfect for teenagers, older children, or visiting guests.
Outside, the fully reticulated grounds offer an abundance of space for kids and pets, complemented by an alarm system and a generous double carport behind the automated front gate.
Positioned in one of East Fremantle's most desirable pockets, this home delivers a rare blend of Federation grandeur and modern ease. Enjoy immediate proximity to the Swan River, local sporting clubs and the vibrant cafés, restaurants, and boutiques of nearby George Street, with historic Fremantle and coastal beaches just minutes away.
