Here riverside parkland is your front garden, with the water just a few steps away from this handmade home where the beautiful natural textures of timber, stone, iron and salvaged architectural pieces interact in a superbly designed series of indoor and outdoor spaces to create a supremely relaxing resort atmosphere in a remarkably privileged location.
Combining a sense of seclusion and privacy with a feeling of openness and engagement with the superb natural surroundings, this is also a wonderfully practical home with excellent separation between bedroom zones, two light-filled living areas, open-plan kitchen looking over the water, two waterfront entertaining terraces, spa and lap pool, remarkable resort-style master suite and a huge undercroft with space for several cars and a workshop as well as your dinghy or kayak to make the most of the riverside life.
Enter through a series of stone and timber porticos and a perfectly pretty courtyard garden to reach huge double doors salvaged from an historic railway station.
Once inside, you're struck by the sense of openness and space, with a very wide timber-floored hallway opening to a stunning living space with an extraordinary parquetry floor, discreet corner bar and a huge bay window with built- in couches perfect for lounging in the northern light.
Off the hallway to the right is a corridor leading to two serene bedrooms, one with a northern bay window and the other with windows to the north and south for the breezes to flow through.
The beautiful bathroom features the natural stone, marble and antique timber pieces found throughout the home.
The master bedroom is an expansive resort-style suite with a series of white-shuttered windows, big timber porthole, walk-in-robe with bespoke timber storage and a huge stone-tiled en-suite with spa and marble-topped antique timber double vanity. Opposite, there's a study nook leading to the upstairs dining terrace with sweeping water views.
The open-plan living and dining space, with white-painted timber ceiling, gas fireplace, impressive timber beams and granite-topped kitchen, embraces its surroundings with antique doors and windows all around, where you step out to the lap pool, spa, outdoor shower and barbecue area and open the filigreed iron gate to your own riverfront with just a swathe of lawn between you and the water.
On the lower level is the enormous garage/workshop, storage room, generous laundry, drying court, powder room and a secluded bedroom with a long row of skylights, ideal for a teenage retreat.
In the exclusive Northbank precinct with North Fremantle's restaurant and cafe strip a stroll away and close to the centre of Fremantle, this handmade home on the water is a beautifully individual creation and truly a rare find.
