For the first time since its completion in 1982, this iconic Fremantle residence is offered to the market, representing a rare once-in-a-generation opportunity. Held by the same family for over 40 years, the home is a profound testament to enduring quality and timeless retro design. It is far more than just a house; it is a meticulously maintained sanctuary built to a grand standard of solid brick and tile that is simply not seen in modern construction. From the moment you arrive, the iconic faade makes a bold statement on its substantial 759sqm corner site. Upon entry, you are greeted by grand proportions with a sweeping staircase that immediately sets a tone of elegance and immense space. The home's design is all about versatile living, offering a variety of distinct areas for both relaxing and entertaining that provide the kind of separation modern families crave. The floorplan ensures everyone has their own space to move, with two separate living areas and two dedicated dining zones that can adapt to your lifestyle. At the front of the residence, the secondary living and dining space offers a fantastic retreat - while it can easily host a crowd, it works just as well as a massive kids' playroom, allowing you to keep the toys and noise tucked away from the main hub. The main kitchen acts as the central anchor to the home, perfectly positioned to serve all four primary living and dining zones. In the heart of the home, the family room features a classic built-in timber bar with marble top, that flows into the casual dining area. Both the casual dining and family rooms open directly to the outdoors, creating a seamless transition to the paved terrace and large gardens for an idyllic alfresco lifestyle under the Fremantle sun. Imagine the endless possibilities for family fun within the expansive outdoor grounds that offer a secure playground for children and pets to roam. With such generous proportions surrounding the home, there is ample room to add a pool, transforming the backyard into a private summer oasis for years to come. For those who love to cater on a grand scale, a second kitchen, boasting a six-burner freestanding oven and double fridge recess, is tucked away in its own separate area, providing unparalleled versatility for large-scale entertaining or multi-generational living.Upstairs is all about practical, comfortable family space, thoughtfully designed to capture the natural light and coastal breeze. The sun-drenched master suite features a walk-in robe, private ensuite and its own north-facing balcony - the perfect spot for a morning coffee. There are three additional large bedrooms, all equipped with built-in robes, including a second bedroom that also enjoys the luxury of a private north-facing balcony. Every detail has been considered, from the central family bathroom with a bath and separate toilet to the inclusion of a laundry chute that adds a touch of classic convenience to daily life. Beyond its charm as a residence, this property provides a professional edge and strategic future potential. A dedicated home office or study/storeroom is perfectly positioned for a home-based business, while a huge oversized garage provides a tradie's dream of massive storage and workspace for tools, hobbies or multiple vehicles.
