11 Staples Street, North Fremantle, WA 6159

Build your dream home on one of North Fremantle's prettiest heritage streets with this fantastic north-facing block - which has rear garden gate access to one of the most beautiful parks in the suburb. 

Just a couple of minutes from the Swan River and a few minutes to Leighton Beach, this is a dream coastal location, peaceful yet close to everything you could want. This 311sqm green titled block is a rarity - an exciting opportunity to acquire one of the only buildable blocks on Staples Street, a peaceful, delightfully charming street full of heritage cottages. 

Lived in by its current owner since the '70s, the existing house is one of the only older homes on Staples Street that is not heritage-protected. 

With a gate in its back fence, the house backs onto Alfred Road Park, a gorgeous neighbourhood park with huge trees, lush rolling lawns, playground equipment and barbecue facilities. Live here enjoying having a park as an extension of your backyard. Head to its highest point at Rule Street to see the peek of the oceans through the trees, unwind with the kids as they kick the soccer ball around or play on the swing, or take the dog for a stroll in the mornings. Being heritage-protected, the park can also never be built out, meaning a beautiful treed backdrop to your home forever. 

At first glance the block's original two bedroom cottage is unassuming. But many North Fremantle locals will already know this iconic property - this is the famous 'cat mural' house of Staples Street. The front wall of the house was painted by artist Sylvia Allday in timeless trompe l'oiel style. The stunning mural full of cats, dogs, swans and butterflies has delighted young and old for years. 

Design a home that captures the north-facing light at the front and the southern light and treed park views at the back. Beautiful mature trees and plantings add value to your own property - along with a mature frangipani in the front garden, there is a stunning jacaranda tree in the back garden, as well as and bougainvillea and mature wisteria that wraps around a back garden shed. 

Staples Street has a warm and welcoming community, as well as an enviable location. Walk to North Fremantle Social Farm, the North Freo Bowlo, or to Queen Victoria Street where locals love to frequent Mrs Brown Bar, Ooh Coffee, Wild Bakery, Flipside Burgers and Piggy Food Co. 

Start your days with a walk along the river or a swim at Leighton Beach; end them with backyard barbecues with friends while the kids play in the park. Or meet friends for dinner at Queen Victoria Street. 

The kids can walk or ride safely to North Fremantle Primary School nearby and there is also a daycare conveniently within walking distance. The house is also walking distance to public transport into the CBD and Fremantle, Gilbert Fraser Reserve, a dog park, a Spanish language school, the WA Croatian Community Centre and the North Freo Social Farm, shops, medical amenities and fitness studios. 

A few minutes down the road lie coastal eateries at Leighton Beach like Bib & Tucker, Palette and The Orange Box. You will love the convenience and ease of living here, and may well find yourself leaving the car at home for days on end.   

This peaceful, quiet street offers an idyllic style of living. Take this opportunity to build your family's dream home in this wonderful coastal location.
