52 Attfield Street, Fremantle, WA 6160

Auction Location: On Site

This gracious 1890s stone residence has the perfect position to match its grandeur. Stroll through lovely gardens that wind up the elevated block, where the wide jarrah veranda sits on high to enjoy the breezes and the openness of long views. Beautifully restored and extended, with careful attention to both heritage value and modern comfort, it even boasts an impressive limestone garage for three cars - an unusual asset in this sought-after historic street. The atmosphere is one of elegance and airy treed seclusion, but it's wonderfully central, too. Around the corner are the cafes and shopping of Wray Avenue, the town centre is a walk away, and it's an easy ride down to the beach. 

Through the decorative steel gate by the limestone wall, an enchanting experience unfolds in the rising gardens of roses, daisies, olives, lemon and more, including a spectacular ironbark that the birds love. 130 year-old jarrah has been used to restore the front veranda; an example of the attention to authentic detail. Inside are the very high ceilings, timber floors, and expansive rooms of the era. Four bedrooms include one ideal for an office or second living, and there are two refined marble-topped bathrooms, including the master en-suite.

The traditional hallway opens out to the living space, where one of the home's four fireplaces sits in its ornate timber surround. Beyond is the long open-plan dining and kitchen: timber tops, Shaker-style cabinetry, butler's sink and stainless steel appliances, with a new laundry tucked behind. It is all full of light, embracing the outdoor flow to the alfresco and courtyard. High walls of limestone and recycled brick frame this very private space, with tiered stone gardens and another spectacular lemon tree.

The elevation of the block has another bonus: a large cellar and a storage room, both with power, within the limestone walls below. And the large garage out front, in traditional limestone with brick quoins, is something special. As well as mezzanine storage, it features a carlift to accommodate a third vehicle.

It's rare to find an important historic home in as fine condition as this, with such thoughtful modern improvements, and such beautiful gardens. Wander through the gate and up the hill to experience the pleasures of 52 Attfield.
