13 Jackson Street

North Fremantle WA 6159

Word is getting out that there is a certain 'vibe' in North Fremantle. Locals have always known it, but they can't keep it to themselves any longer! It's a friendly village vibe, with an edgy, cosmopolitan buzz. It's coffee, food, fashion, wine and antiques, and it's all just around the corner from this stunning home in leafy, tightly held Jackson Street.

You can also throw a towel over your shoulder and be on the white sands of Port Beach in just minutes.

That's if you can tear yourself away from the comforts of this beautiful home! The soaring 13-foot ceilings and grand proportions of the rooms are highlighted by the impeccable restoration of the circa 1890's residence. Originally built as the rectory to the old church on the corner, it is one of the oldest homes on Jackson Street. Its architect owner has brought it back to life with the greatest care and respect, adding a light and airy extension and creating a sophisticated home that epitomises low maintenance modern living. A palette of subtle neutral tones complements the richness of the jarrah floors, and show off the classic features that include intricate cornices and beautiful cast iron fireplaces.

You will be spellbound by the grand entry hall, which leads to a beautiful big room with deep sash windows to the verandah, from where you can see the red tips of Fremantle's iconic harbour cranes. This room would make an ideal home office, library or music room - or even a fourth bedroom if you need it. A magnificent lounge room with a fireplace has its own entry to the veranda, while two huge bedrooms share the modern, fully tiled bathroom, with a clever laundry boasting plenty of storage.

But what will really capture your imagination is the welcoming hub of the home - a perfectly integrated kitchen and dining space that extends to include a light-filled indoor-outdoor living area. Open the stacking doors right up and enjoy the fresh air and the sunlight playing through the slats and louvres. Fire up the barbecue, and you'll feel like you're on holiday every day! It's a year-round feeling, thanks to the underfloor heating to keep things cosy in the cooler months. The designer galley kitchen is perfectly placed at the heart of things, with sleek white surfaces, an island bench/breakfast bar, a pantry, loads of drawers and overhead cupboards, and stainless steel appliances.

When it's time to retreat, head upstairs to the private master suite, which is beautifully light and airy thanks to the vaulted ceilings and northern light through a big picture window. No shortage of storage here either, with built-in as well as walk-in robes, and a fully tiled ensuite.

Add a rare double garage with side access to a pretty landscaped courtyard, and a sweeping return veranda overlooking an immaculate front garden, and you'll soon see this is truly a stunning home in a very special location.
