Built upon an elevated block in a private and secluded rear position, this impressive two-storey home seamlessly blends contemporary sophistication with sustainable design. On the edge of South Fremantle, with all the benefits of coastal proximity and the bohemian ‘Freo’ lifestyle on your doorstep, this is what easy, modern living is all about.
Creating a dream family home from conception on the perfect blank-canvas block, the current owners engaged ‘Perceptions Homes’ to build this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom beauty in 2017. The clever floor plan incorporates flow, space and natural light based on solar passive principles and a NatHERS 6-star energy rating. With a northern aspect keeping the house cool in summer and warm in winter, energy bills are kept low thanks to 3.5kw roof solar panels, insulation and an on-site rainwater tank.
A raised decking platform guides you to the front door and into the entranceway where natural light streams through at every opportunity. The pleasant backdrop through the windows includes landscaped garden surrounds, overhanging lemon tree branches and your pick of outdoor areas to retreat to.
The chic, modern aesthetic within combines clean lines, tonal greys, bold, black light fittings and warm, wood-look flooring creating visual harmony. The kitchen offers a central hub for gathering where entertaining is the main theme of this level – spread out with loved ones to the undercover patio area while the kids play at the opposite end (within eyesight) in the safe, enclosed yard above easy-care, artificial lawn.
The kitchen is well appointed with an expansive breakfast bar, soft-close cabinetry, mosaic tiled splash back, plenty of storage, and high-end Smeg appliances; 5 burner gas stovetop, canopy range hood, electric oven and dishwasher. A shopper’s entry from the garage offers convenience for unloading groceries straight from the car into the kitchen. There’s also a guest powder room and generous laundry (with more storage in the adjoining utility room) and external access to an outdoor drying area.
Soft, plush carpet leads the way upstairs to the bedrooms and a light-filled second living area that can easily be a ‘parents only’ space, teenagers retreat, dedicated playroom for little ones or home office. The north-westerly views here are especially beautiful with long treed vistas above the rooftops and daily golden sunsets on those warmer days.
The master bedroom is spacious and serene with a huge walk-in robe and ensuite for two; double vanity, roomy shower and own toilet. The other two bedrooms share a bathroom with a shower, vanity, bath and separate WC, and have floor-to-ceiling sliding, mirrored wardrobes. Each bedroom enjoys year round comfort with ceiling fans and split-system air conditioning units and thanks to the property’s orientation and elevation, opening up the windows on each level welcomes the cross-flow breeze of the ‘Freo Doctor’ in during those balmy, summer months.
Additional features include two more air conditioning units in each living zone, sensor lights, window treatments throughout and a security cameras. For even more space-saving storage, access the roof space via a discreet attic ladder or utilise the under-stair area. There’s room for off-street parking in the driveway as well as the double lock-up garage for secure car storage and the low-maintenance garden beds are serviced with automated reticulation.
Head to South Beach nearby for an ocean dip or take a leisurely wander to the Farmer’s Markets each Sunday, Two Dogs Laughing cafe for coffee and brunch or a night-cap at the Beaconsfield Wine Bar. You can easily venture into the heart of Fremantle Town with its array of shops, cafes, restaurants and entertainment by car, bus, bike or foot within minutes. There’s also convenient walkability to 3 schools within a 100m radius; Winterfold Primary, Christ The King Primary and Fremantle College with its huge green ovals diagonally opposite the property.
This is a wonderful place to call home, prime elevation with the views to match, a near-new residence with all the trimmings for comfortable, modern living, and a location on the edge of South Fremantle with close proximity to everything you need.
