South Fremantle WA 6162

A leadlight door opens to the gorgeous, modern, travertine-tiled bathroom, with bath and underfloor heating.
Even the laundry is a creative space, with an unusual curved wall, additional toilet and beautiful timber double doors leading to the paved area at the side of the house, complete with outdoor shower.
The rear extension, of brick, timber and glass, opens the house to the north, filling it with light and creating a lovely series of linked rooms for cooking, living and dining - each space with magnificent oregon and glass double doors opening to the rear gardens.
The bespoke oregon kitchen, with Ilve stainless steel appliances and timber and granite benchtops, has a northern aspect over the entertaining deck, which is built around a splendid old gnarled fig tree.
The cosy lounge area has a big window to the north, and a spiral staircase leads up to a long, jarrah-floored mezzanine retreat with unusual wrought iron balustrading and artfully curved floor.
Outside, the easy-care gardens are a delight, with raised limestone garden beds full of ferns, frangipani and bougainvillea, a lemon tree and yellow climbing roses covering the back wall of the house. There's even a little studio or workshop with its own en-suite (also known as the original outdoor loo).
Close to the buzz of South Terrace shops and cafes but quiet and secluded, imagine making the most of this great location - walk home from the beach (stopping off for a coffee), turn into the jacaranda-lined street you call home, wash the sand off under the outdoor shower and relax on the deck in the shade of the magnificent old fig tree.
History plus the here and now, a splash of creativity, a warm and welcoming atmosphere and the relaxed lifestyle of a beachside community.
