Arguably one of Fremantle's most sought after streets two houses from Monument Hill on the high end of
prestigious Solomon Street. Embrace this rare opportunity to secure your own piece of history.
This home is suited to the largest of families with a private guest house completely self contained with its own secret garden for the grand parents.
A fine example of a stone residence in the Federation Queen Anne Style and embodying the very essence of Fremantle, this meticulously preserved and presented limestone and iron family home is a treasure to behold.
Built in 1897 and rich in history, it offers a relaxed lifestyle all within reach of Fremantle's rich cultural tapestry.
Once the stately home of WJ Partridge and situated in Fremantle's most sought after locales it showcases the superior quality and workmanship of its era with wide polished jarrah and pine boards, soaring ceilings and ornate architraves, classic brass fittings, and a wide bull nosed veranda with a wooden deck that is elevated from the street.
What is instantly apparent when you enter the wide hallway of this magnificent home is its sheer spaciousness. The entire first floor is dedicated to living with a music room, library, family room and open plan dining area that flows into the kitchen.
From the kitchen you can watch boats sail across the ocean or the glorious sun sets of the West. The large sash windows beautifully frame the view and flood the room with natural light making it a bright and airy place to be.
Baltic pine bench tops and a central island work bench keep it light while the mint coloured cupboards remain true to the home's heritage.
The adjoining decking trains the eye to the ocean views, and is a peaceful place in which to enjoy your morning breakfast or sunset drinks and the coolness of the Freo Doctor on hot summer days.
Originally two separate homes an entrance converted to a breezeway and a Solid jarrah Staircase has been added to merge the two levels. Downstairs, each of the four bedrooms have built in robes and are of glorious original proportions, with the master enjoying its own ensuite and French doors to a private retreat beside a tranquil water feature.
There is also a fully self contained apartment complete with a generous living area, kitchen, bathroom and a sauna in the rear garden, perfect for a teenager's retreat, studio or for visiting friends and family.
But the best surprise has been kept for last. At the very back of the home is a lush secret garden with a large koi pond that sits under the shade of a Peppermint tree and two Robenias - just another of this home's magical places in which to sit and reflect on how wonderful it is to live life here.
