UNDER OFFER BY STEFANIE DOBRO, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS - MULTIPLE OFFERS Perched high along the ridge rising to Monument Hill, among a tightly held collection of grand stone residences, Monaro is a home of enduring significance and rare beauty. With sweeping views stretching across the ocean and harbour, this distinguished Federation filigree residence, built in the 1890s, captures the romance of Fremantle's past while offering an extraordinary setting to call home.The interiors are gracious and expansive. Soaring ceilings, vast rooms and a magnificent central staircase create an immediate sense of scale, while tall double-hung sash windows draw in soft natural light and frame the ever-changing outlook. Outside, established sheoaks and thoughtfully designed gardens form a tranquil green backdrop, wrapping around the home and softening its intricate ironwork and elevated verandahs.The entrance hall is wide and welcoming, setting the tone for the elegant proportions that follow. At the front of the home, jarrah floors lead to a grand lounge where a bay window captures garden views, while across the hall, a second living or formal dining room is filled with northern light. These spaces flow effortlessly through to the contemporary kitchen and casual dining, arranged across two zones with a central island, quality appliances and classic shaker-style cabinetry. Nearby, a spacious bathroom and laundry offer practicality, while the kitchen opens directly to a sheltered travertine-paved alfresco. Beneath, a restored limestone cellar awaits-ready to house a carefully curated wine collection.Upstairs, the home continues to impress. Ascend up the stately jarrah staircase, the second level features Baltic pine floors, air-conditioned comfort and an arched landing that opens to a wide verandah. From here, sunsets unfold across heritage rooftops to the ocean, islands and harbour beyond. Four generous bedrooms sit on this level, including one with French doors to the verandah and fitted shelving ideal for a library or quiet retreat. The bathroom is rich in character, complete with a freestanding cast iron bath and a blend of timber and marble mosaic finishes.Outdoor living extends further with an eastern terrace, overlooking a magnificent mature gum tree that anchors the beautifully landscaped rear gardens.
