26 Mardie Street

Beaconsfield WA 6162

Picture life with a heated swimming pool, big bedrooms, air-conditioning and shady gardens in a whisper-quiet location, walking distance from primary and senior schools, farmers markets and great Freo cafes and restaurants.

Features include off-street parking, high ceilings, gas fireplace, jarrah floorboards and recycled brick courtyards, as well as roomy bedrooms and an enormous kitchen with two ovens and plenty of storage.

The main bedroom has a walk-in robe and there are built-in robes in the other bedrooms. The bright and airy renovated bathroom has a huge bath and separate shower, and the third bedroom has access to the laundry and second toilet.

There are three living/dining areas inside the house - all with jarrah boards - and the main living room has a gas fire in the fireplace and looks out to the front garden and protected veranda facing west. There is a large outdoor living area with timber decking at the back overlooking the elevated daybed and framed gazebo and swimming pool with outdoor shower. The house is surrounded by beautifully landscaped, fully-reticulated gardens and established trees, including agaves and a prolific lemon tree.

Separate to the house is a spacious teen retreat, fourth bedroom, studio, office or extra living room as well as a storage shed tucked in around the back for storing garden and pool equipment and bikes. A protected courtyard on the south side of the house has a vegetable garden, and the private and shaded front garden comes complete with a gorgeous weatherboard cubby house.

Top on the Fremantle Hill, the Freo Doctor keeps the house cool and fresh and there is year-round comfort with the evaporative air-conditioning and gas fire. The home is environmentally and budget-friendly with solar panels that feed enough back into the system the current owners don't pay for power. The solar panels also heat the pool and water bills are covered by the solar feedback into the grid.

Mardie Street is part of a quiet and friendly local community and close to Fremantle, South Fremantle and several schools within walking distance, including Beaconsfield Primary and Fremantle College, and near Notre Dame University. Great shopping is close by on Hampton Road and Wray Avenue, along with many fantastic eateries such as Madalena's Bar (one of four Gourmet Traveller's Best New Restaurants of the Year 2019 nationally).

Sunday mornings stroll over to the farmer's market just up the road. The crystal blue waters of South Beach are a 20-minute walk down the hill, and you have the pool and outdoor shower to wash the sand off when you return.

It is easy to access the main roads to Fremantle and the city from peaceful Mardie Street. Homes with this much design and lifestyle appeal in this elevated location are highly sought after in the Fremantle area.
