3 Keel Place

North Fremantle WA 6159

Entry is through grand double doors into an airy atrium. A sweeping travertine staircase with ornate wrought iron balustrading leads to the lavish theatre with bar, four Juliet balconies, river views, and timber cabinets against limestone walls. The home's heart is the stunning kitchen, which would not look out of place in a Tuscan manor house. Intricately carved timber cabinets have wide expanses of granite benchtops. Entertainers will love the huge country-style range with Ilve appliances: built-in fryer, grill, double gas burner, wok burner, induction top and oven. There is a Miele dishwasher. A feature timber and wrought iron door reveals a huge pool room, a perfect hang out space with soaring coffered ceilings and gas fireplace.

A capacious open-plan family and dining room opens to the outdoors. On a 522sqm block, the Mediterranean gardens are lush but low-maintenance, centred around a patio, with a separate courtyard with a barbecue. Invite friends over for evening strolls by the river before coming home for a long dinner on the patio under the grapevine.

A beautiful sitting room is a nod to the namesake of Keel Place and the land's history. The cul-de-sac was named after the special winged keel of the Australia II, the record-breaking yacht that won the 1983 America's Cup. The famous keel itself was manufactured at the former State Engineering Works on Thompson Road, the land of which later became residential lots - including Keel Place. In this light-filled sitting room with limestone walls, bespoke parquetry floors marked KA-6 12 reference the historic win.

Another nautical reference is upstairs. A timber ladder to the third storey tower will make you feel like you are climbing through a boat's hull, reaching a home office with marble floors, built-in desk and breathtaking river views across Rocky Bay. A viewing deck here has a sweeping vista across the ocean to Rottnest Island. This private zone, perfect for relaxing with a wine while enjoying the sunset, will make you feel on top of the world.

The second floor of the home is dedicated to bedrooms; accessed by a timber staircase clad with Portuguese Azulejo-style tiles.

The parents retreat offers wonderful versatility, with double doors revealing a beautiful second room. Set up your own private lounge, study or nursery. There is a dressing room and a lavish Carrera marble ensuite with spa bath, twin vanity, marble dressing table and shower. The original owners travelled the globe to source special materials for the build, including handmade Moroccan tiles for the ensuite.

Three more lovely bedrooms are serviced by a marble family bathroom and powder room, with handpainted Moroccan sink.

There is a double garage with storeroom, travertine laundry, ground floor bathroom and guest powder.

Just steps to riverfront walking trails, parks, minutes to the beach, North Fremantle Primary School, Queen Victoria Street and beachside dining, the location is enviable. This is a very special dream house for a family or couple that love the finer things. Make this landmark home part of your history.
