53 Rule St, North Fremantle WA 6159

Steps from the old Burford's Soap Factory, this historical locale features walking paths along limestone cliffs, high above underground caves. Start your days with coffee on your balcony watching the boats or a run along the riverfront trails. Stroll to Leighton Beach before meeting friends for lunch at Bib & Tucker or The Orange Box. In the evenings, go for a drink and dinner on Queen Victoria Street. The house is minutes to public transport, North Fremantle Primary School, playgrounds and community clubs - while your dog will love living across the road from the local dog park.

While attractive from the street, with clean white forms complemented by lush verge gardens, the elevation gives little hint of the expansive, interesting home beyond. Inside, curved staircases and white-painted shiplap walls and ceilings are a subtle nautical nod to the coastal location. Built in 1982, this unique home offers multi-purpose indoor and outdoor living spaces, appealing to retirees, empty nesters or professional couples as well as families with primary school or older children.

Entertainers will love the scope for indoor-outdoor entertaining with the open-plan kitchen, dining and huge family room with raking ceilings, all backdropped by one of the most beautiful river views in Perth, stretching across to Rocky Bay, Mosman Park and East Fremantle. Open a bottle of wine with friends and enjoy the stunning evening views across the bay from this nicely protected vantage point.

Commercial grade sliding doors open the home up to the two huge, joined balconies. An external staircase offers access to the stunning saltwater pool and huge covered alfresco dining area beneath, a calming courtyard with white walls that give a minimal Mediterranean feel with the river views beyond.

You will love to cook up a storm in the kitchen, with granite benchtops, white cabinets and appliances including a gas cooktop and Neff wall oven. Make yourself breakfast while looking out across the water; enjoy long dinners with friends in the huge dining.

On the uppermost floor is a true retreat - an airy, inviting room perfect for a study, studio or teen retreat - take your pick. From here are even more magnificent views, including an ocean peek.

The main living area encompasses the main suite. Every bedroom is oversized, and this one is no different. Airy and north-facing, it has a huge robe and a balcony that overlooks the internal courtyard garden, a calming green haven with huge frangipani tree. An elegant ensuite features black tapware, black vanity and freestanding bath.

There is nice separation between the bedrooms, all newly carpeted. On the entry level are two more bedrooms, one with water views and access to the pool courtyard, the other with beautiful timber built-ins and desk, with access to another balcony overlooking the garden courtyard. There is a tidy bathroom-laundry nearby and generous storage through the home. There is yet another big living area to the entry floor - a versatile games room, study or playroom, with river views and access to the pool.

The garage is to be seen to be believed. High-ceilinged and huge, it can accommodate two large cars or four smaller ones, with ample storage space. Alongside is a third garage space, with the block including the long driveway.

On the lowest floor is a multi-purpose room with air-conditioning, ideal as a teenage retreat, games room or bedroom. This space could be turned into a self-contained flat, with plumbing available and a courtyard garden with barbecue and sink.

With endless versatility and enviable livability, this is a dream home. Make it yours.
