Traditional Fremantle architecture is the inspiration for this serene and warmly spacious home in a cul-de-sac close to the heart of Fremantle. Natural textures and beautiful use of fine timbers create a welcoming feeling in these airy spaces, with open-plan living, office, charming loft bedroom with en-suite, and a north-facing entertaining deck by the high-walled pool. You can stroll around the corner to Wray Avenue shopping and to Fremantle Primary, walk down to the centre of town and up to the Monument, or cycle to South Beach.
Vines curve around the bullnose veranda, and the generous sense of space evolves the moment you enter the wide hallway with its expanse of immaculate jarrah floors. Two bedrooms, both with built-in-wardrobes, overlook the veranda and cottage gardens. Beyond is an office, where timber stairs curve up to an air-conditioned loft bedroom. Lit by two Velux skylights and a circular stained glass window, this is a delightful space with built-in storage and its own pristine white bathroom. Downstairs, another very spacious bathroom has a clawfoot bath, traditional tiling details and antique timber vanity, and there's an additional toilet in the generous family laundry.
The truly inspiring space is the open-plan living, dining and kitchen, warmed by a gas log potbelly stove in the corner. High cathedral ceilings in white-painted timber soar above, and large timber windows all around welcome the light. The combination of white walls and exposed recycled brick is fresh and natural, and the roomy kitchen has engineered stone tops, pressed-tin splashbacks, and extensive white timber cabinetry. Throw open the double doors to the north-facing deck for lounging and dining, where the pool beyond is surrounded by high walls and a flourishing lemon tree. A covered utility area off the laundry offers even more handy space, and there's paved off-street parking for two cars, in addition to the secure single garage.
Hidden away in a friendly little community street with no-through traffic, with the luxury of tranquil seclusion, ample space and a pool for summer, this brick and iron gem is an unusual find so close to the centre of town.
