18 Prowse Street, Beaconsfield WA 6162

What we love Situated a quiet and leafy street, this unique 5 bedroom 2 bathroom family home is the perfect blend of new and old, less than a few minutes away from the heart of South Fremantle. There is a real family vibe about this elevated charmer that benefits from a functional floor plan and the bonus of blue ocean-water and Carnac Island glimpses from both its timber-lined front verandah and within. Complementing the best of mid-century and modern there is a versatile study off the entry that sits adjacent to the spacious master-bedroom suite and doubles as the perfect nursery – if you need it to be one. At the rear and beyond a double lock-up garage is a magnificent single lock-up workshop, studio or “man cave” that has so many options and even allows for another car to drive through the garage and park securely – out of sight and out of mind. A huge side outdoor alfresco-entertaining deck is simply the cherry on top. Sit back, relax and listen to the sounds of the chirping local birdlife from this desirable and tightly-held pocket of Beaconsfield that separates Fremantle College on one side from both Winterfold Primary School and Christ the King School on the other. Also only walking distance away are bus stops, shopping and restaurants at Beaconsfield Plaza, the Freo Farmers Market, a plethora of picturesque local parklands and community sporting facilities. Within minutes, you will be at vibrant South Terrace and its café and restaurant precinct, beautiful South Beach, the Fremantle Boat Harbour and the centre of old Fremantle town itself – cappuccino strip, The Esplanade, The University of Notre Dame, the Fremantle Markets and all. What a spot. What to know Native low-maintenance gardens surround the property that would definitely capitalise on clear ocean views from any future second-storey addition. Accessible via the main entry door as well, the timber-lined open-plan sitting, dining and kitchen area is nicely elevated, flows out to the private front verandah through full-height double doors (alongside neighbouring floor-to-ceiling windows) and impressively boasts a high skillion ceiling, two cavity sliding doors for peace and quiet, split-system air-conditioning, double blinds, electric louvers to let the calming “Freo Doctor” filter through, sparkling stone bench tops and splashbacks, soft-closing drawers, stylish light fittings, ample storage options, an integrated range hood, a five-burner Smeg gas cooktop, double Westinghouse ovens, a stainless-steel Bosch dishwasher and a breakfast bar for casual meals. It all overlooks a sunken utility area – with alfresco access and its own powder room – and a large sunken and central family room that is the focal point of the house and has its own angled ceiling with feature shadow-line cornices. Like the study, the master suite is carpeted for comfort and comprises of feature hung windows, a generous walk-in dressing room and a fully-tiled ensuite bathroom with a ceiling-mounted rain shower, a granite vanity, toilet and a wall fan. Servicing the minor sleeping quarters is a light, bright and practical main family bathroom with a shower and separate bathtub. Extras include a massive laundry with stone bench tops, loads of under-bench storage space, a separate toilet and drying-courtyard access, huge carpeted second and fourth bedrooms, a smaller third bedroom that would be great for kids, a spacious carpeted fifth bedroom with its own teenage-retreat-style external access door, parquetry and wandoo wooden floorboards, feature skirting boards, quality modern blind fittings, security doors and screens, a solar hot-water system, a rear chook pen and lemon tree, a roller door and storeroom to the ancillary single garage/workshop in the backyard, drive-through access for a boat, caravan or trailer beyond the remote double garage and original limestone retainers. The list goes on – but, best of all, you have the opportunity to add your own personal touches. Safe to say, there is nothing quite like this one currently on the market!
