This heritage riverside property is a magnificent example of the inter-war Old English architectural style, and is ready to welcome your family. Designed for Perth radiologist Dr W Frayne by Reginald Summerhayes, a prominent and influential architect of the inter-war period, the residence was entered into the Western Australian State Register of Heritage Places in 2015 by The Heritage Council of Western Australia. Occupying an elevated 969 sqm corner block only 200 metres from the shores of Freshwater Bay, the home has been immaculately maintained and features beautifully preserved original features characteristic of the style. Externally, terracotta roof shingles, prominent feature gables, corbelled brick chimneys, and arched door and casement windows define the architectural era. Inside, decorative brick fireplaces (with flues recently restored), exposed brick walls and high ceilings with timber beams are prevalent throughout, complimented by multi-pane windows and ornate wrought-iron candelabras. It is understood that the study, or 'den', on the lower level was Dr Frayne's medical consulting room, with a conveniently separate entrance off the main veranda. The original house drawings are framed and hung in this room for posterity. Spacious rooms with high ceilings include a family room with french doors opening out to the veranda, a large separate dining room and open-plan living and meals overlooking the established rear gardens. The kitchen sits in harmony with the surrounding areas, boasting a generous marble-topped breakfast island, a freestanding Ilve gas oven and cooktop and a Bosch dishwasher. A convenient walk-through scullery separates the culinary zone from the dining room, providing storage space in addition to the walk-in pantry. Upstairs, find five bedrooms, including an extra large main suite - complete with wall-to-wall built-in robes and river glimpses. The secondary bedrooms also include robes, cabinetry, vaulted ceilings, and ceiling fans. One has superb river views, and the sixth bedroom has a private ensuite with a laundry chute. The family bathroom is generously proportioned, with tessellated floor tiles, a vanity, bath and shower - the WC is accessed from the hallway, perfect for morning rush hour. Outside, privacy hedging surrounds the lush front lawn, ready to accommodate gatherings large or small. Towering eucalypts line the street, providing additional shade and sanctuary for local birdlife. The property's south-eastern corner features a large swimming pool, surrounded by limestone paving and secure fencing. More lawn, high bordering vegetation and a charming bougainvillea arbour create a family-friendly space to relax and entertain. Moments from Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, St Hilda's Anglican School and Peppermint Grove Tennis Club, this leafy riverside enclave is one of Perth's most prestigious locations. Cottesloe Central, Napoleon Street and The Boatshed Market are all within easy reach, and South Cottesloe Beach is only a few minutes away.
