When searching for "old meets new", it's hard to find anything resembling the relaxed coastal comfort that this 1910's residence has to offer.

Recently transformed from its turn-of-the-twentieth-century foundations, this warming home will have you feeling like you are on holidays almost all of the time, and leaves absolutely nothing for you to do other than to simply bring your belongings and move straight on in. All of the hard work has been done.

Access from the street reveals an elevated front porch with low-maintenance gardens and the best vista of all - panoramic ocean views, with the home's elevation affording you magical sunsets over a beautiful coastline that seems to never end. Expansive views capture Point Perron in the south to Garden Island, Carnac Island, Rottnest Island and north to Fremantle Port.

The tuckpointed limestone and brick elevation at the front of the home has been thoughtfully restored and makes a charming first impression. The newly-renovated front veranda is a perfect spot to sit at the end of the day and enjoy watching the sun setting over the ocean. A specialist stonemason restored the property's limestone including the front of the house and limestone footings and walls. The decking has been professionally replaced with original-looking yet no-maintenance NewTechWood composite, and aluminum balustrades are the perfect finish to the home's clean and finished appearance.

The private driveway provides you with parking space for multiple cars, leading into the most enchanting of backyard settings complete with easy-care, effortless gardens that are newly reticulated, and an alfresco/patio entertaining deck that benefits from northern sunlight and protection from prevailing coastal winds.

The front of the home encompasses its original rooms and hallway, all with the soaring ceilings, wide floorboards and high skirtings typical of the era. The main bedroom sits at the front, with timber plantation shutters that enhances its airy feel. A magnificent window with custom-made flyscreen overlooks the ocean and front garden, and allows the fresh sea breeze to cool the room. A working fireplace is the centrepiece of this generously sized room.

Across the hall is another light-filled bedroom, also overlooking the ocean and front garden. Storage is at a premium here, and this bedroom also has a feeling of light and space. The front door and all the bedroom windows are fitted with security screens.

The hallway branches off into an expansive yet cosy lounge room - an original room with working fireplace and a wall of stunning bay windows affording ocean and garden views. This part of the house is warmed by charming brickwork surrounding a working fireplace that oozes original character, and a central space that allows you to sit and enjoy the glorious sea views or the ships sailing past. The sitting room offers strong versatility, ideal with its open-plan layout and connection with the kitchen and undercover alfresco.

The back part of the home encompasses a fantastic study or office space adjoining the sitting room and easily accessible from the back garden through French folding doors. Adjoining is a combined bathroom and laundry, with a large shower and separate toilet.

The back garden is a delight, with a limestone boundary wall that adds texture and character to the garden while maintaining the feeling of privacy. An easy-care garden bed encompasses a variety of lush green plants that make for a delightful backdrop to the calm and peaceful courtyard dining area. There is an instantaneous hot-water outdoor shower with a surprise ocean view. Relax under warm water as you watch the boats on the ocean.

Within walking distance to South Beach and the bustling South Fremantle cafe strip, Growers Green Farmers Market, Peaches and IGA. Become part of a tightly-held, quiet and friendly street within the 'West Beacy Bunch' community. Here there is an enviable lifestyle on offer.

With plenty of charm, an ideal location moments to the ocean, Fremantle and the river, and a top-quality restoration, this is the sort of home that won't last long.
