In one of the best locations right in North Fremantle's vibrant heart, life is simply bliss: walk to the beach or river, enjoy Queen Victoria street's bustling precinct on your doorstep, or soak up the relaxed coastal atmosphere of your private retreat. Designed and built by now-retired local architect Tom Roberts, the architectural soul of this home is evident everywhere: lofty raked ceilings, jarrah beams salvaged from the old Fremantle Woolstores, repurposed antique timber doors and windows, and exposed brick walls that culminate in respectful homage to North Fremantle's industrial past. With an artist's studio out the back, and potential for mixed-zone usage for a home business, the options for how life can unfold here are endless.
Inside, the rustic feel of a country-style cabin effortlessly meets the airy openness of warehouse-style living. Jarrah floors and stone walls exude warmth, made even prettier under the glow of golden sunsets, and a central wood-fire place adds to the charm. The home opens into a quiet office space, or second bedroom, with a wall of built-in storage, before the air-conditioned open-plan layout unfolds to a spacious lounge, dining and solid timber kitchen - complete with slate flooring, electric cooking appliances and stainless-steel dishwasher. Alongside is a concealed European laundry and stunningly renovated bathroom in coastal hues with vertically-stacked tiles, brass tapware, rainwater shower, vanity and toilet.
Upstairs above it all is the mezzanine-style master bedroom with views across to Queen Victoria Street. Skylights welcome the sun, and the windows the sea breezes, while split-system air conditioning ensures year-round comfort. A wall of built-in robes is a welcome addition, and there's future scope to enclose and convert the end living space into a third bedroom if so desired.
Outside, a lovely courtyard is sheltered by a dome patio roof and the leafy canopies of mature lemon and lime trees. A soothing water feature, home to goldfish, is zen-like and the west-facing aspect makes the most of coastal breezes and beautiful sunsets. Beyond is the limestone-walled workshop, originally a potter's studio, and an inspirational space for creatives, artists, hobbyists or entrepreneurs - especially for a home-based business. Laneway access, security cameras, and secure parking perfectly complement this wonderful home.
It's rare to find that elusive combination of coastal and river proximity, exceptional urban convenience, and a lifestyle of leisure - with all the joys of an architecturally designed retreat to come home to. But here at 11A Jewell Parade, this is it.
