54A Preston Point Road, East Fremantle WA 6158

Imagine stepping out your front door and walking down to the river in minutes, or stroll over to Gourley Park with its playground, green space and water views. This is a wonderfully privileged location for a home that is secluded down a long private driveway. Refreshed interiors include an elegant new kitchen and butler's pantry, bamboo floors and plantation shutters. It all feels serene, secure and easy-care, giving you more time to enjoy life in the river precinct.

A large opening off the entry leads to a separate living area, with space for a study zone, and easily closed off from the open-plan at the rear. There, the beautiful new kitchen is at the heart of the home and simply stylish in tones of black, white and grey. The large central island in engineered stone has a marble effect; there is masses of cabinetry; a black pyrolytic oven and 5-burner cooktop; splashback tiling in pressed-tin patterning, stainless steel dishwasher and inset sinks, and the stone top flows through to the butler's pantry. With white plantation shutters all around, the open-plan living and dining flows to the alfresco, with raised garden beds and long lawn at the rear. The double garage opens to the side of the home, where there is a paved area to park a trailer or tinnie.

The master bedroom looks out to a private front courtyard, and features an en-suite and walk-in-robe, with built-in robes in the other two bedrooms. There's a bath in the family bathroom, and a separate toilet off the laundry, which leads out to the drying court and a wall cascading with passionfruit. You'll also find lemon, lime, cumquat and mulberries in the garden.

It's walking distance to cafes and restaurants, near parks and playing fields, with local East Fremantle shopping and services close at hand and historic Fremantle close by. Here above the river is a great place to live.
