With three bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living spaces and a functional floor plan with stunning modernist lines, this house has incredible potential. An original condition 80s home, this solidly built home will delight those with a passion for design who want a house with fantastic bones to infuse with their own flair. Oversized rooms lend themselves perfectly to a modern renovation while original features include jarrah frames and beautiful timber-lined, soaring ceilings that will take your breath away. This is truly a renovator's dream.
Spread over three levels, the home is one of five gracious waterfront residences built in the 80s, designed to capitalise on the incredible water views from Rule Street, a quiet no-through road. Each home has been modernised over the years - except for this one, making this an exciting opportunity to put your own stamp on a solid waterfront build. While in original condition, the house is tidy and has been meticulously looked after, making it move-in ready for those who prefer to live in a home before renovating.
Directly opposite Rocky Bay, this is one of the best locations in North Fremantle. On the narrowest part of the peninsular, you can walk to Leighton Beach in minutes, meet friends to stroll the riverfront walking trails right on your doorstep and take your furry friend to the local dog park right across the road.
Enjoy coastal dining at Leighton Beach with places like Bib and Tucker, Palette, The Orange Box and MRKT Space. Queen Victoria Street is minutes away, with neighbourhood hotspots including Ooh Coffee, Piggy Food, Mojo's Bar and Wild Bakery, while Mosman Park, Cottesloe and Claremont shopping is within a short drive.
The heart of this home is its central floor. A spacious, light-filled family room has soaring cathedral ceilings clad in timber and views that sweep west over the industrial buildings of the Dingo Flour mill and east over the Swan River. Open up the room to the balcony with pergola roof and invite friends over for long summer dinners after a swim in the pool, spotting dolphins swimming past as the sun goes down. A concealed bar cabinet lies tucked behind a timber wall in the main living.
With spaces that feel private yet connected, this is a home that was designed for laidback living and easy entertaining. An external staircase from the main balcony offers easy access to the pool with alfresco an area in the front courtyard.
The open-plan kitchen and meals is delightful, connecting to the balcony and overlooking the pool with the river sparkling beyond. The large, original kitchen with breakfast bar offers water views while you cook up a storm. There is a Miele dishwasher, Bosch oven and gas cooktop.
A staircase takes you to the uppermost floor - a true retreat with breathtaking river views, ocean glimpses, beautiful natural light and sloping wood-panelled ceiling. Use this space for your home office, study, library, yoga retreat or art studio.
The central floor encompasses the main suite, with north-facing light, five-door robe and ensuite, upgraded with new tiling.
The lowest level encompasses two more bedroom suites, both oversized with big built-in robes and ensuites. The front bedroom suite opens onto the pool area and has a spacious ensuite with Roman bath.
On the ground floor is a huge games room or second living. Opening up to the pool area and onto a convenient rear patio, this space is perfect for long summer pool parties, or for giving kids a space of their own to entertain friends.
The home has a rear double garage and gated tandem parking space for two more cars, caravan or boat. The home has split system air-conditioners, a huge laundry with plenty of storage and there is generous storage through the rest of the home.
While the lemon tree by the front gate comes in handy, the house has very little garden to maintain, making this is an ideal home for empty nesters or retirees wanting an easy lock-up-and-leave. Yet it would also suit a family with older or adult children, with ideal separation and huge bedroom suites. Make it yours and make it your dream home.
