16 Staples Street, North Fremantle WA 6159

What could be more desirable than a secluded little street tucked between the river and the sea: a few minutes’ walk to the west and you are at beautiful Leighton Beach, while a short stroll to the east takes you to riverside walks and parkland. This exclusive pocket of North Fremantle still reflects its working past and you can feel that history in this early 1900s cottage, combined with the openness and flair of recent renovation and extension.

Painted in cool grey and white with a north-facing front verandah, it presents the traditional façade of weatherboard and iron, with interior historic features including jarrah and pine flooring, high ceilings, exposed brick fireplaces and beautifully detailed pressed tin. A sensitive extension and renovation makes for fresh, bright spaces, including two lovely bedrooms overlooking the front verandah, each with the clever and extensive storage found throughout the home. The classic central corridor opens to the air-conditioned open-plan living space, where a seamlessly functional kitchen offers heaps of storage in shaker-style white cabinetry, island bench with integrated sinks and quality appliances contrasting nicely with the retained relic of the old Metters stove in an exposed brick fireplace.

Beyond the kitchen is a simply beautiful modern bathroom, with European laundry, separate toilet, bath and rain-shower. A bespoke American oak vanity wraps under the corner windows, with a treetop outlook through the splendid olive tree outside.

Upstairs comes the delightful surprise – a fresh and focussed workspace with a built-in desk, masses of storage and double doors opening to a breezy deck looking out across North Fremantle. This space could equally be used as a third bedroom.

Outside, a large elevated timber deck extends the home to the outdoors, with a high-pitched iron roof above and exterior blinds to make it a wonderful entertaining space across the seasons. A patch of perfect lawn is surrounded by lemon, lime, blood orange and avocado trees and there’s an outdoor shower and clawfoot bath on the recycled brick paving.. A handy weatherboard shed echoes the style of the original house, and there is off-street parking for at least two cars in tandem

With the train station a short walk away, cafes and restaurants close by , this is an unequalled location between river and sea.

2 bedrooms 1 bathroom 1 study 2 cars

This sale and move must have been the most professional and smooth-flowing that we have experienced, having done 20 over the years.

The key to this feeling was Catherine, a charming and lovely young lady whose communication skills were without question the very best. Nothing was too much, and her concern for us and our needs was beyond reproach; we feel that she became one of our family, and we will miss her interaction and friendliness.

Catherine made every step of selling my property easy

Catherine and the team are very approachable and really make it feel like you’re on the same side! This family feel at White House have all the knowledge we needed regarding comparative sales, previously sold properties that were very similar to mine, and exact price guides. I can’t recommend Catherine enough, as she really does know the real estate market and made me feel very safe in the sale of the family home.

Thank you, Carlie!

From the moment I met Carlie, I knew she was the right agent for us. She’s professional, approachable, and truly knows the North Coogee market—because she lives there. She listened to our needs, kept us informed, and never pressured us. Her calm, honest approach made selling far less stressful. Her team was also fantastic. I’d recommend Carlie without hesitation—she turned a daunting process into a smooth and positive experience.

Highly recommended

Well handled from start to finish. Helped me with knowledgeable decisions to overcome a couple of small hurdles during the selling process. I had the option of using a previous agent, but I’m glad I switched and decided to trust Curtis. No doubt I made the right choice.
