Down the olive-tree lined path, past the stunning wisteria and through the big timber doors, you enter a private sanctuary filled with peace and beauty.
With natural forms of limestone, timber and iron, salvaged architectural pieces and sculptural features, the serene stone-walled courtyard and saltwater pool wrap around this wonderfully open and yet completely secluded home, with timber and glass doors to the north and west inviting the outside in. Welcoming the warmth of the sun in winter and the cooling breezes in summer, with the spaciousness of a vaulted ceiling and a tall, windowed stairwell, this is a home filled with light.
The open-plan kitchen and living commune with the outdoors, so you have that resort feeling of living by the pool.
The built-in barbecue and alfresco dining are perfect for entertaining, but the kitchen is lovely too, with light-toned caesarstone bench-tops, pale timber cabinetry, a large central stone table, a six-burner Smeg range and stainless steel appliances - all bringing design clarity and modernity into the home's palette of textured natural materials.
The living area is a cosy space warmed by a gas log fire, the spacious study has a large eastern window, built-in jarrah bookcases and attic storage with a pull-down ladder, and a downstairs bedroom, overlooking its own courtyard, has an en-suite with double access.
Up the timber stairs with its high wall of eastern windows and timber shutters, the upstairs master suite continues the resort feeling, with its wrap around terrace, ceiling fan, walk-in-robe and beautiful new en-suite bathroom with double vanity and large porcelain tiles in natural tones.
The treetop and sunset views over Fremantle are a joy, with a striking view of the monument right in the middle of the picture.
Everything has been considered to make this an easy, serene and sustainable place to live: solar power, two rainwater tanks, grey water system, raised vegetable and herb gardens, full reticulation, garden shed, undercover area for bikes, parking for two cars, sensor lights, security alarm and decorative iron security grilles.
If you ever want to leave, this is an easy house for the traveller to lock up, stroll down the path and out into the world beyond!
