UNDER OFFER WITH MULTIPLE OFFERS BY STEF DOBRO This is exceptional: the highest achievement in the transformation of a character home to a stunning lifestyle property for the 21st century family. An inter-war bungalow typical of the leafy Woodside Ward still presents its traditional form to the street, but inside, the historic elements interweave with a generous series of inspiring and perfectly functional spaces indoors and out. The use of stone and fine timbers sits easily alongside sleek modern finishes to create restful interiors, in a solar-passive design that flows north to a series of garden zones for dining, relaxing, swimming, and playing. A magnificent master-suite, several living areas, pool, poolside studio, large office, and wine cellar are among the home's many pleasures, and a second-storey addition offers three more bedrooms. It is all serene and sophisticated, and a superb family retreat in this desirable neighbourhood.
Immaculate gardens frame the perfectly restored exterior and elevated veranda, leading to the original rooms, with their leadlight windows, jarrah floors, and exquisite ceiling details.
The central hallway is spanned by a lovely sitting room, and opposite is the master suite – a marvellous transformation that includes a dressing room and finely-designed ensuite. Beyond is a grand office with four workstations, a lofty powder room, a wine cellar, and a long room that takes care of the practicalities: drop zone for schoolbags and sports kit through from the garage, and a vast laundry area with masses of storage, leading to the butler's pantry behind the kitchen for bringing through the shopping.
A separate casual living area looks to the garden, and the open-plan kitchen, living and dining is a triumph: all superbly appointed, with a gas-log fire in a towering limestone wall. It embraces the northern light and the outdoors: impressive limestone-framed alfresco dining, firepit, Croatian BBQ and in-ground trampoline, with a big mango tree as the garden centrepiece. Next to the saltwater heated pool is a flexible studio space with bathroom. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a study zone, bathroom and storage room, with natural light from high windows all around.
You couldn't wish for more. Step inside and experience the atmosphere of one of East Fremantle's finest homes.
