SET back from Hampton Road behind another house and immune to street noise, this beautifully-renovated three-bedroom home is a perfect lock and leave or downsizer for those looking for security, style and location. Entry is down a wide driveway off Hampton Road, opening into a large, secure garage which could fit four cars or cars and a boat.
The house is typical of the stylish Fremantle architecture that makes the sought-after area distinctive, with pitched timber ceilings, textured finishes and tree-top views. The external finishes include timber and earthy brick rendering reminiscent of rammed earth. All window and door frames have been recycled from the iconic Fremantle Woolstores when the property was built in the 1990s.
A north-facing kitchen and protected, private courtyard allows light and views of the northern sky, making the family hub a spacious, light-filled and quiet haven just minutes from the South Terrace strip.
The owners love to cook, so have thoughtfully re-styled this space with huge Caesarstone benchtops, soft-closing cabinetry and high-quality appliances, including a wine fridge hidden below the countertop, a concealed laundry and abundant storage.
The impressive kitchen also features large contemporary white tiles behind the stainless steel rangehood that meet the rustic timber ceiling, giving the room a sense of crisp freshness and harmony.
The family room has a wall of glass facing south for winter sun, as well as split system air conditioning/heating and a gas outlet. The cool white paint complements the warm brick floor and high-pitched timber ceiling. Elegant light fittings offer mixed mood lighting. There is also a powder room/toilet off the kitchen.
Upstairs are three generous bedrooms all with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom and separate toilet, as well as a second living area with architectural stained-glass windows.
The spacious living room is a quiet, cosy retreat with a striking pitched ceiling that offers enough space for a future mezzanine. It is airconditioned for summer and winter comfort and features beautiful wide pine floor boards.
A hallway leads to the bedrooms; the large main bedroom has views across the trees to the south and is also airconditioned. The second and third bedrooms are large enough for queen-sized beds and all of them are whisper quiet.
The renovated bathroom features both a bath and separate shower as well as storage and stylish sage green and white tiles with northern light pouring in through the window.
The house is an easy one to live in with reticulated gardens, excellent security and beautiful finishes such as colours, fittings, appliances and window treatments that don't need changing or updating. There is no need to spend a cent once you move it; it has all been done with thoughtfulness and taste, making this property an ideal investment opportunity.
While you will want to stay home in this peaceful environment, it will be impossible to resist the easy 10-minute stroll to South Fremantle's trendy cafs and restaurants, including Ootong and Lincoln, Manna Wholefoods, the newly-renovated Local Hotel, and the Percy Flint Boozery and Eatery; heaven for lovers of craft beer and small bar dining. Walk to South Beach for a swim to start or end your day. With soft white sand and turquoise ocean, parkland, BBQs and a caf, this is one of the secret gems of South Fremantle.
Fremantle Primary School is less than one kilometre away and South Fremantle Senior High School a 20-minute walk straight up Lefroy St. This is also the site of the Sunday morning Growers Green Farmers Market - a must for fresh food, local produce and brunch. The centre of Fremantle is also less than two kms away, making 113B Hampton Road a location winner. It is conveniently situated close to the corner of South St which means a smooth drive-with only one left corner turn-of less than 25 minutes into P
