Sitting on high in a superb position set back from the street, this character home makes the most of its breezy elevation and leafy outlooks, with all the personality and charm of a true Freo gem. White picket fencing wraps the front garden of olives, lilly pilly, lawn, and big gums, while the curving veranda takes it all in – and what a location. Knutsford’s creative pocket, Monument Hill and Freo’s heart are minutes away, with beautiful beaches, the river, and parklands just as close.
Tuck-pointed brick on pillowstone foundations rises above the double car port, with room to park a trailer, boat or caravan – plus undercroft storage for toys and tools. Inside, beautiful renewals meet warm jarrah floors and high-ceilinged spaces that flow outdoors at every opportunity. Two bedrooms extend down the hallway, one with a dropdown attic, ceiling fan and French doors to the veranda, while the nearby bathroom is exquisite: cast iron clawfoot bath, cool subway tiles, and a pedestal basin by the toilet.
The galley kitchen is complemented by shaker-style cabinetry topped in engineered marble, featuring a dishwasher and big buttercream Belling dual fuel range cooker – complete with a butler’s pantry integrated into the laundry adjacent. The open-plan living is warmed by a built-in wood fire over winter, with north-facing French doors to the veranda for those refreshing Freo Doctor breezes in summer.
Tucked away to the rear, the master suite reveals a walk-through robe and ensuite with luxurious finishes: shaker-style cabinetry, mosaic marble floor with underfloor heating, and a frameless glass rainshower. French doors open out to the rear courtyard, sheltered by a shadecloth, while climbing jasmine and landscaped garden beds add some greenery to this private space. Recycled red-brick wraps around to the east, with more French doors off the kitchen, a drying court for the laundry, and access into the carport.
This is a home that captures the charming essence of Freo, offering a wonderful sense of space, modern comforts including air conditioning throughout, and a brilliant location close to all the action – with local schools an easy stroll away.
