Perched high on the rise with sweeping ocean and harbour views, sits this landmark residence of architectural distinction. Amongst a colourful streetscape lined with quintessential Freo charm, the iconic cornflower-blue façade highlights its Federation Queen Anne origins while the sprawling front lawn introduces the 1,023m2 size of this land - a rarity in itself. With sub-divisible potential and valuable street frontage in a prime location, this heritage home is one of a kind and it shows. Nestled towards the rear of this huge block, this property has undergone stunning reincarnations since its circa 1890s build. Once a part of Aboriginal lore and Dreamtime stories, there's been a railway manager's cottage (one of two) during Fremantle's gold rush era, a bohemian-inspired 1970s extension by renowned Rajneesh builders and contemporary renewals along the way without compromising any of the original character - the end result is truly spectacular. Above rose bushes and eucalyptus blooms, a classic bullnose veranda graces the entrance before opening up to the timeless elegance within; floral leadlight doors, ornate high ceilings, bay windows, feature fireplaces, period cornices and wide timber floorboards. Spanning the lower level you'll find a master domain with a dressing nook, impressive built-ins and a luxurious wall-to-wall marble en-suite, two more bedrooms, an internal laundry (as well as an external one), a charming drawing room, and a family heritage style bathroom of black and white tiles with a corner spa, vanity and toilet. The open-plan dining and kitchen features a sunflower-yellow tiled splashback, a breakfast bar and high-end Miele appliances including a dishwasher and pyrolytic oven. Upstairs, breathtaking views of the harbour and Cantonment Hill await with a peaceful sitting room to take it all in. Natural light pours through the lofty, vaulted windows and there's scope to incorporate another room or two thanks to the clever floorplan. A balcony connects to the suspended alfresco bridge above the courtyard and gardens below, taking full advantage of the block's natural slope. This is the space to bask in golden sunsets with a drink in hand or enjoy summer dinner parties with loved ones under the stars. Venture further towards the separate studio with its own veranda and endless ocean vistas, and an abundance of options for its use including art studio, creative's workshop, home office, teenager's retreat or even guest accommodation. The Mediterranean-inspired gardens below unfold to even more magic; flourishing greenery, grapevines, a serene waterfall, rockery and pond, tumbling camomile lawn (designed by esteemed landscaper Janine Mendel) and three generous vegetable beds overflowing with edible delights including figs, plums, grapes and olives year-round. Perfectly located along the border with the bustling George Street precinct on one side, and the buzz of Fremantle on the other – this home has easy walkability to the river, local schools, parklands, public transport, shops, cafés, or restaurants. This landmark house on the hill has it all; a remarkable history, unparalleled harbour and ocean panorama, a location close to all the action and a generous block that inspires even more.
