16 Tydeman Road

North Fremantle WA 6159

But while many presume Tydeman Road homes would be filled with traffic noise, once the front door is closed, this home is delightfully peaceful. As part of the home's meticulous renovation and restoration, the current owners have replaced all original windows with double-glazed windows to both reduce noise and aid in insulation - even the traditional front door features custom triple-glazed leadlight panels.

Another surprising element to this home is its size. While it appears diminutive from the street, inside is a very generous four bedroom, two bathroom home that comfortably caters to a family.

Here there is nothing left to do but move in, relax and enjoy this enviable lifestyle location. The house is walking distance to the beach and river and just around the corner from Queen Victoria Street, where popular local hotspots include Propeller, Ooh Coffee, Brucetown, Mojo's, Mrs Brown Bar, Habitue, Piggy Food, Flipside Burgers and Old Bridge Cellars. The house is also near to North Fremantle Primary School, childcare, public transport, boutique stores and amenities; and an easy stroll or cycle over the bridge to the Fremantle cappuccino strip.

Built in a classic Victorian Georgian style, the home has a pleasing elevation with red brick and limestone walls complemented by a concrete veranda. A trim, lawned front garden with picket fence encompasses a lemon tree and bay tree.

A custom-made leadlight number 16 highlights the transom window above the front door, which opens onto a wide hallway with archway with ornate corbels and high skirting boards. The wide jarrah floorboards are particularly beautiful; carefully restored with oil, rather than varnish.

Two large bedrooms off the hall both have original fireplace surrounds. The first bedroom overlooks the pretty front garden, while the second has a north-facing window.

These bedrooms are serviced by a beautiful bathroom, renovated with no expense spared. A highlight is the tessellated French honeycomb floor tile, laid to a custom pattern. A stylish vanity with marble-look acrylic benchtop is complemented by an Art Deco-inspired mirror and white subway wall tile. Solid brushed brass tapware and fixtures include an Armando Vicario mixer, an Abey shower faucet and a stylish dimmer wall light, which can be adjusted to a warm or cool setting.

The hallway flows into a central family room, a cosy welcoming space with fireplace surround. A contemporary, central stairwell fills the family room with natural light. With white walls and clean lines with industrial elements, the extension complements the original cottage's industrial roots. High-set stairwell windows let cooling sea breezes through the home.

The open-plan kitchen and dining will delight any home chef or entertainer, with its practical stainless steel benchtops and top-of-the-line five burner Belling range cooker with separate ovens. There is a new Miele dishwasher and a substantial walk-in pantry with appliance area.

Timber and glass bi-fold doors open up the kitchen and dining to a paved patio and secure courtyard garden with lawn. Cook while easily keeping an eye on kids playing outside.

The beautiful upstairs landing has white oak floors and custom-made painted bookshelves, while feature nooks to another wall add warmth and interest.

A bespoke sliding door of reclaimed tuart opens to a huge bedroom at the back of the home, with large balcony overlooking the charming neighbourhood rooftops. While currently a bedroom, it would be ideal as a second living.

Nearby is a stunning renovated laundry with terrazzo look tile floor, stone benchtop, kitkat tile splashback and plenty of storage.

The upstairs bathroom has also been tastefully redone, with terrazzo tile floor, fully tiled walls, modern vanity with acrylic benchtop, feature mirror and large shower.

The upper floor also has a large bedroom, currently a home office, that has a walk-in robe.

There is a shared driveway with paved parking for two cars. The current owners say the neighbours are wonderful, with local fire pit parties in the shared driveway area. The current owners even held their wedding here, with strings of festoon lights backdropped by heritage rooftops. There is easy parking for visitors on nearby side streets.

The home has a 6kw solar panel system, split system air-conditioning, large, lined storage attic and a gated, veranda on its western side, currently used as a workshop area but also ideal for bike or pram storage.

With four large bedrooms and two bathrooms, the house offers wide appeal for professional couples, downsizers, retirees, families and those who work from home. Come see the magic of this special home.
