8 Knutsford St, Fremantle WA 6160, Australia
In a tightly held blue ribbon cul-de-sac, this glorious c1900 limestone residence’s expansive and unforgettably beautiful dimensions provide modern enhancement and style against a backdrop of exquisite period elegance.
Formerly two semi terraces now converted to one sprawling single residence, this beautifully renovated home occupies an elevated 611sqm allotment west of Monument Hill. A dual entrance, with four large bedrooms (all with original fireplaces), a newly renovated family bathroom with a fabulous freestanding tub and a generous home office/library room off the wide central hall.
Upstairs is a serene parents haven, with a generous master bedroom offering north facing french doors and a balcony with views over the gardens below and the beautiful neighbouring heritage homes towards the sparkling Indian Ocean. Walk through the large dressing room with two walls of custom cabinetry to the private & spacious ensuite.
The hub of the home is the newly fitted kitchen, with Smeg appliances and stone benchtops. Here, you have access to the large open plan living space, with a bank of bifold doors seamlessly integrating the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas. The family dining room is also generous in proportion, able to accompany the most intimate of gatherings or family dinners with french doors also opening to the alfresco zone and garden.
The freestanding studio is nestled at the rear of the block, and can be accessed via the leafy garden with established trees, or by the private laneway adjacent. The double storey apartment is the perfect teenage retreat or guest accommodation, with living & dining room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Immediate potential is available for this second residence to provide income through short stay or long term rental.
This captivating residence is located between equally beautiful heritage homes on a quiet, locals only cul-de-sac just steps to Monument Hill. The location is second to none, where you can walk to Fremantle, a plethora of shops & eateries including George Street, transport links & desirable schools including John Curtin College of the Arts.
