15 Pearse St, North Fremantle WA 6159

Very close by is the Queen Victoria Street hub, with local haunts including Piggy Food Co, Brucetown, The Bridge House, Wild Bakery and Mrs Brown Bar. There is excellent coastal dining at Leighton Beach with Bib & Tucker, The Orange Box or Palette. The house is close to public transport into Fremantle or Perth CBD, and close to childcare, North Fremantle Primary School, playgrounds and parks. You may find yourself leaving the car home for days on end - yet this house is a Pearse Street rarity in that it has off-street parking for three vehicles. The house is flanked by two carports, one a single parking bay and the other a tandem double space, perfect for those with a trailer or boat.

The friendly and supportive Pearse Street community is a special one, where heritage houses will remind you of yesteryear and neighbours look out for one another. The Pearse Street community has a progressive street lunch, Halloween celebrations and a street Christmas party.

The home has a beautiful limestone and brick façade, Colorbond roof and white picket fence around the front veranda. The house has been carefully updated with a new roof, window treatments, cabinetry and fresh paint. Open the antique front door with leadlight transom window into a bright hallway with soaring ceilings, vintage timber doors and wide jarrah floors.

Two big front bedrooms have windows overlooking the street with white Plantation shutters. The first has a timber fireplace flanked by twin built-in robes; the second has a red brick fireplace, built-in shelves and a desk. Along the hall is the main bedroom with tongue and groove ceilings and an adjoining walk-in robe that overlooks the lovely back garden.

The central kitchen is a delight. Whitewashed limestone walls add texture and warmth to this inviting space. Vintage cabinetry has been upgraded with new benchtops and there is a good amount of bench, hanging and shelving space, making this room ultra-practical. A corner pantry offers plenty of storage and there is a freestanding range with five burner gas cooktop and a dishwasher.

The kitchen flows into the family room, a late extension with a lovely connection to the outdoors, vintage French windows, wall panelling and terracotta floors; its textures perfectly complement the original house's charm. Open the French doors to the covered alfresco entertaining area and delight in the beautiful garden.

On a 365sqm block, the house offers one of the biggest backyards on Pearse. Limestone and red brick walls are softened by white roses and star jasmine. There is enough lawn for kids with a fantastic cubbyhouse beneath the huge eucalyptus tree. You will dream of entertaining friends under the patio while the kids play or cook up a barbecue to end the weekend. While the train line is close, the home is surprisingly quiet inside; the noise barely noticeable.

Stroll home from the beach and take a hot outdoor shower under the trees - the back garden has a lovely outdoor shower in a corner. There is a powered workshop; a pretty shed with recycled red brick walls and salvaged French windows; a perfect studio.

A utilities wing encompasses a classic family bathroom with bath and new vanity, a separate toilet and laundry with original concrete trough that will bring back memories of childhood. The house has split-system air-conditioning, though is easily cooled by sea breezes.

Warm and inviting, this is the kind of home you will fall in love with. Come and see it for yourself.
