Moments from the heart of Fremantle you'll find a mid-century stunner that feels perfectly at home in this character-laden suburb. Fragrant blooms of rose, fox glove, cornflower, sweet pea and tulip guide you towards the front door of 'Mystical Rose' where the magic of retro 1960s nostalgia awaits. The eclectic design elements within converge to create something quite special; brilliant pops of colour, geometric ceilings, patterned tiles, terrazzo flooring, original Jarrah floorboards and groovy glass-etched palm tree sliding doors with a recently renovated multi-generational living option downstairs.
This home tastefully preserves its historical origins yet feels fresh and perfectly suited to contemporary living. Step inside to the large lounge room on the right where walls of glass observe the gardens below and all the action heading towards Freo - despite this central location, it's surprisingly quiet inside (even more so below). The ceilings are exceptionally high, creating a great sense of space, and there's an abundance of natural light pouring through the north-facing aspect via the veranda, kitchen and lovely little 'sewing room'/home office at the rear of the house (once belonging to the original seamstress owner and easily converted into a fourth bedroom).
The retro-chic kitchen is a stand-out; bright pink tiles, bold black DeLonghi oven with gas stovetop and masses of cabinet space. A central focal piece separating the kitchen and dining is the very cool built-in bar cabinet while outside is a great spot to entertain on the sheltered veranda with elevated views across the Valley. The main bedroom is south-facing with more walls of glass, with bedrooms two and three nearby each with either a split system a/c unit, ceiling fan, or both. The bathroom is divided into separate spaces with a baby-blue shower room, pink toilet and canary-yellow bathroom with a vanity and bath tub.
Downstairs, the spacious back garden has a chicken and duck coop in the corner with raised veggie garden beds and an abundance of fruit trees including olive, passionfruit, lemon, pear and loquat. There's future scope to add a pool if desired or make the most of this private space as is, completely secure for children and pets with extra screening provided by hibiscus greenery.
Seamlessly bringing this home into the 21st century, the lower level has been beautifully transformed to incorporate the laundry and a stylish, self-contained studio - perfect for multi-generational living, guest quarters or generating an income stream from an Airbnb. In the laundry space you'll find a country-style trough, dog-washing basin and potters' station, while the studio is decked out for comfort and convenience with a sleek bathroom (with a round, free-standing bath and rainwater shower), stone bench tops, soft-close cabinetry, brass tapware and herringbone flooring. A pop of canary-yellow can be found in the sliding barn door sectioning this space off with a doorway leading into the double lock up garage. With the option of private access down the side, this lower level can be completely independent from the main home. There's also a private undercover alfresco space, guest powder room adjacent and ample room for parking additional vehicles off-street including a trailer, boat or caravan.
Everything you need is on your doorstep with an easy stroll or bike ride to Freo's vibrant hub, public transport, shops, caf?s, restaurants, parklands, medical amenities, markets and beaches. A short drive down South Street sees brilliant accessibility to Murdoch University, Fiona Stanley Hospital and the freeway.
