Come home every day to the river sparkling at the end of your street, then open your front door and relax in this warm, inviting and cosy townhouse.Built on tree-lined Doepel Street, the home is just metres away from beautiful Sorrell Park, the river beyond and cycle and walk paths along the water. Life here means being spoilt for location - the home is an easy walk to Leighton Beach, public transport and North Fremantle Primary School, as well as the best of North Fremantle's cafes, stores, dining and entertainment, including Propeller, Brucetown, Piggy Food, Habitue, The Black Truffle, Old Bridge Cellars and Mojo's. The townhouse is one of 20 in a close-knit and friendly community and was built in the late 90s, with a thoughtful and practical floorplan that would still be considered relevant by today's standards. Spread over three levels, the home has three generously sized, light-filled bedrooms, two different living spaces that offer versatility and plenty of storage, with large robes in each bedroom as well as a generous attic storage. An attractive red brick elevation with a portico entry gives way to the ground floor's open-plan kitchen, living and dining with tiled floor. Cedar and glass bi-fold doors can be pushed aside to open up the living area to the delightful back courtyard garden. A mature and bountiful lemon tree wraps around the pergola, covered in fairy lights. Enjoy a wine after work unwinding out here. The courtyard encompasses a storeroom and an outdoor shower in the courtyard for post-beach dips. While there are two secure car bays at the back of the home off the ROW, Doepel Street is also regarded for having plentiful street parking. With a window overlooking the treed street, the galley style kitchen is a pleasant space to work in. Overlooking the street and with generous expanses of marble benchtops, the kitchen has been upgraded with a new stainless steel Emilia rangehood with four burner gas cooktop and new Bosch dishwasher. Off the kitchen is a neat laundry and a separate toilet. An elegant, modern granite staircase with jarrah and glass handrail leads to the middle floor formal lounge room, a comfortable room with underfloor heating, perfect for curling up to watch a movie. This townhouse comes with a bonus - the front balcony has been converted into a beautiful and practical additional living space, ideal for use as a children's playroom, study, studio or home office space. Chunky jarrah frames this space charmingly while bamboo has been used on the floor. Three big windows give a cosy, private feeling of being hidden amongst the treetops. The middle window is a picture window style while the others have awnings for letting in the breeze. With the house receiving good cross-ventilation from the Fremantle Doctor, the current owners say they usually only have to use the air-conditioning on the hottest summer days. On the middle floor is the main bedroom with large mirrored robe and additional storage space beyond. The bathroom next door has a bath with shower overhead, toilet and vanity with a good amount of benchtop space and storage.The upper floor encompasses two light-filled bedrooms. Opening onto a generous-sized private balcony with a pergola and sweeping views across Doepel Street, the front bedroom would make a lovely main bedroom if desired, and has a three door mirrored robe.A tidy bathroom with glass-fronted shower, vanity and toilet separates this bedroom from the third, a light-filled and spacious room with double door mirrored robe and outlook across the Northbank Precinct. With wonderful proximity to the river, beach and parklands and its great floor plan, this is a versatile home that will appeal to professional couples, young families, families with an older child or two, professional couples and empty nesters.
