Walk to riverfront trails in a minute, be by the beach in ten and enjoy a blissfully tranquil life in this timeless three bedroom, two bathroom home.
Named 'Silver Birches' for the trio of mature silver birch trees in its front garden, this lovely two-storey house was completed in 1998. Deeply loved by its owners since, this is a well-built, quality home with an inherent warmth and a welcoming feel throughout and charming gardens with a lap pool.

On a quiet, friendly cul-de-sac with a community feel, the house offers a dream location in the narrowest part of the North Fremantle peninsular; the closest you can be between both river and sea. The house is near riverfront walkways, playgrounds and parks, shops, amenities, North Fremantle beachside dining including Bib & Tucker, Orange Box and MRKT SPACE, and all the iconic cafes, entertainment and restaurants of Queen Victoria Street, including Propeller, Mrs Brown Bar, Brucetown and Habitue.

With ideal separation and privacy between its two bedroom wings and appealing versatility, this house suits a multitude of demographics, including couples, retirees, empty nesters, young families or those with an older child or two, being near school and childcare.

A charming classic streetscape features warm taupe walls and white framed windows with Plantation shutters. The spacious main suite is thoughtfully situated just off the front entry. Double French doors open up to the front garden with silver birch trees, which attract local bird life. A walk-in robe has ample hanging space and a pretty ensuite has dado panelling and wallpaper. Flush to the floor, the shower offers universal access. There is a French provincial style twin vanity with stone benchtop and separate toilet.

The heart of the home is the north-facing open-plan kitchen, living and dining with terracotta floors. One of the loveliest features of the home is its thoughtful floorplan, capitalising on the natural light at every turn. A gas fireplace with limestone surround is the centrepiece of the family room.

Ideal for entertainers and those who love to cook, the beautiful kitchen overlooks the living, dining and alfresco entertaining areas. Stone benchtops, top-quality Shaker style cabinetry, classic hardware, a butler's sink, brass mixer and beautiful tiles give a charming country feel. There is a walk-in pantry, dishwasher, five burner Miele gas cooktop, Pyrolux oven and great storage.

The delightful laundry makes a task a pleasure, with a beautiful Shaws Ribchester fireclay butler's sink with fluted front, handcrafted in England, brass mixer, generous storage and stone benchtops.

On a block that is a little under 500 sqm, the house has nicely sized walled gardens, not requiring endless upkeep, but enough for the person who loves to potter, with topiary, potted roses, water feature, small lawn and herb corner. Relax in the paved back garden at the big stone table with a cup of coffee beside the lemon tree. The lap pool has steps and a handrail for easy access. A north-facing studio cabin is currently fitted out as a craft room, but also makes an ideal art or yoga studio or cubbyhouse.

Upstairs is an airy home office or study with private balcony overlooking the neighbourhood. This room could also be a playroom or hangout space for teens or older kids, with two large bedrooms on this floor. One has a built-in robe, the other its own north-facing balcony. A striking black and white family bathroom with a tessellated tile floor and glass-fronted shower services these bedrooms. There is a separate toilet, with wainscoting and stunning wallpaper. The home has split systems, good storage and a double garage with internal access.

This is a charming, comfortable home that offers a rare opportunity to buy into this tucked-away river enclave. Make it yours.
