Set well back from the street and surrounded by beautiful, well-tended manicured gardens front and back, this is a wonderful family home in one of this premium riverside suburb's most sought after locations.
Walking distance to the river, cafes, restaurants and primary schools, it is minutes from Fremantle, some of Perth's most celebrated beaches and within easy reach of shopping, transport and private schools.
Set over three separate levels, this elegant family residence boasts deep wrap around verandahs and is based on the timeless designs of early Australian colonial architecture.
This multi award winning home was awarded the Master Builder's Association
runner up for 'State Wide Top Home of the Year' shortly after completion in 1993, generating so much interest from inquisitive home owners that a security gate and hedging was installed to maintain the owner's sense of privacy.
Set on a plateau at the top of a sloping driveway, this home opens into a mid-level entrance area with stairs both up and down to the living and accommodation zones.
Three minor bedrooms downstairs, are all generously sized with built-in robes and a leafy outlook overlooking the surrounding picturesque gardens.
The master bedroom is one of this home's stand out features and boasts a panel of timber French doors opening out onto a beautifully secluded and protected garden, which is home to a rich variety of local birdlife.
Also on this level is the separate theatrette / games room which is north facing for the winter sun and opens via double sliding doors out into the side garden.
The upstairs living areas blend honey coloured Blackbutt floors with generous room proportions and feature picturesque front and rear outdoor alfresco areas that are cooled by the passage of daily sea breezes.
The upper level living spaces are an entertainer's paradise, blending open plan living with uninterrupted views across the river to the harbour and ocean beyond.
A combined formal lounge and dining space leads into the kitchen and entertaining area with direct access on to alfresco entertaining spaces front and back.
The lovely kitchen boasts large pale bench tops, a pantry, American Oak cabinetry and is this welcoming home's central hub.
Featuring timber French doors on three sides, it is both modern and well appointed, with plenty of bench and cupboard space.
A beautiful rear gazebo sits beneath a lush overhead canopy of greenery and is the perfect spot for lazing with a book or a glass of wine overlooking a large below ground, salt-water pool.
The much loved and protected gardens are a riverside oasis and feature an array of fruit trees and lawned areas front, side and back, with a beautiful towering almond tree.
A 25,000 litre rainwater tank which is gravity fed from the roof, provides reticulation to all garden and lawn areas.
