35 Burns Street

North Fremantle WA 6159

The river is at the end of the street, in a peaceful community neighbourhood where it's five minutes to Port Beach to throw yourself in the ocean. Then you can head home to wash off under the outdoor shower and stroll around the corner to dine at one of North Fremantle's local restaurants. It's hard to imagine a better location for this much-loved home with a natural feel and a really surprising amount of flexible family space.With leafy trees and a low maintenance courtyard garden out front, the home is rendered in earthy tones, with iron roof and a timber extension rising at the rear. Tasmanian oak floors and fresh white walls flow inside, where two freshly-carpeted rooms (both with built-in storage and one an ideal study) overlook the front garden. A family bathroom with bath is nearby, and then the home expands to the open-plan, where the living space opens to the north through cedar and glass double doors. There's a separate zone for dining, adjacent to the brightly renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a long breakfast bar, white cabinetry for heaps of storage, and a handy computer nook for recipe browsing on the laptop. Concertina doors stack open to the north and east, for indoor-outdoor flow to a high-walled courtyard with poured limestone paving and a saltwater plunge pool. There's a garden shed and outdoor shower, and the drying court is around the side off the laundry.Upstairs is the big surprise and even more family flexibility: an expansive, air-conditioned living area with its own kitchenette and a wall of storage. Two large bedrooms both have built-in-robes, and one has an en-suite with separate powder room and dual access from the living space. In addition, the timber-floored master bedroom is perfectly situated above the front of the home, with walk-in robe and a spacious en-suite. Double doors lead to a paved elevated terrace shaded by the Chinese elm tree, with a sense of leafy openness inviting the sea breezes.Come inside to experience how this welcoming home can work for your family, in a lovely environment walking distance to primary school and with a safe, kid-friendly feel, set amongst all the delights of the riverside life. 5 bedrooms 3 bathrooms 2 cars 1 pool- Two-storey family home in peaceful Northbank- River at the end of the street, five minutes from the beach- Two living areas, alfresco with salt-water plunge pool- Renovated kitchen and extensive storage throughout- Upstairs living is extra-spacious, with kitchenette- Flexible for teenagers, extended family- Master suite features delightful shady terrace- Tasmanian oak floors, new carpeting, fresh white interiors- Air-conditioning, ceiling fans, outdoor shower, garden shed- Excellent northern light to both upstairs and downstairs living- 6 Month Lease preferred- Low-maintenance courtyard garden- Single garage plus paved verge parking
