Adored by the same family for over 30 years, this extraordinary tri-level home is bolstered by lush parkland to one side and discreetly nestled into a gentle limestone slope. Enchanting federation-style aesthetics fuse modern design with timeless period features that honour natural light and breathtaking views from one of East Fremantle's most prized riverfront locations.
A charming tree-lined lane frames the length of the property, which leads to two automatic garages (one with extra height and width for large-scale vehicles) and secure wrought-iron gates to reveal a magical paradise behind the home's beguiling walled exterior. Welcomed by a tranquil courtyard, the inviting entrance statement features a cascading waterfall and 'cool-level fishpond', inducing peaceful Zen vibes enjoyed from the kitchen window and the impressive double-height, glass-walled foyer.
Defined by dramatic living areas with federation-style elegance, the ground level represents the home's pivotal heart. High-gloss solid timber floors, lofty decorative ceilings & cornicing, and leadlight details underscore a seamless floorplan where grand open-plan living and dining are separated by a double-sided EcoSmart fireplace and offset by a charming leadlight ceiling dome and a custom wall-length jarrah entertainment unit.
A modern heritage-style kitchen includes granite benchtops and European appliances, inclusive of a 90cm AEG oven and 5-burner stovetop, a NEFF wall oven, De Dietrich microwave, and a Zip Hydro Tap.
The spacious master suite, with a modern bathroom and custom-appointed dressing room, enjoys a sunny north-facing aspect with French door access to the verandah and pool terrace below. Opposite, a secondary bedroom or dressing room features ceiling-to-floor built-ins and a pull-down bed.
Flanked by French doors and casement windows, a river-facing sunroom frames treasured unobstructed views extending to a grand, glass-enclosed balcony, with an adjoining barbecue/kitchen designed for open-air entertaining throughout the warmer months.Beyond the rooftops spanning Rocky Bay and Mosman Park to the north and as far as Fishing Boat Harbour to the south, this highly coveted aspect frames the Stirling and Fremantle Traffic Bridges, along with ocean glimpses, the iconic silhouette of Fremantle Port, and a dazzling pool terrace below. Suspended above the riverscape, this luxurious open-air enclosure adopts a resort-style aesthetic unmatched by most standards. A super-large swimming pool with built-in bar stools, water feature, and adjoining bathroom, a timber-lined cabana, engineered umbrella, and integrated Sizzlezone barbecue/kitchen are complemented by 180 degree vistas.
Maximising this spectacular outlook is a lower ground independent living zone with two luxury bedrooms (and terrace access), a modern bathroom, and cozy cabin-like loungeroom set upon terracotta floor tiles. Limestone highlights play a pivotal role in its rustic design, with the addition of a custom wine cellar naturally insulated by limestone wall construction.
Other key features within this inspirational property include a private upper-level study and lounge room (or large 5th bedroom) with adjoining ensuite bathroom, while below is a home gym and a practical laundry with ample storage and an additional shower and toilet/powder room. Stylish crisp white plantation shutters, chic, fully reticulated landscaping, traditional tuckpoint and timber-clad exteriors, and exemplary security make this home a truly unique riverside sanctuary to reward every stage of family life.
