42A Holland Street, Fremantle WA 6160

In a whisper quiet and private position, this wonderfully calming 2 bedroom home, adorned with imported elegance, with its highly-sought-after location close to the East Fremantle border, complement its easy-walking-distance proximity to George Street and the heart of Fremantle itself. The limestone residence's large rooms allow for a flexible and practical layout. In addition, unique antique doors, window surrounds, banister rails and the entry light an original lantern from Turkey give the house a very special warmth and charming feel about it.

The commanding front feature doors are made of walnut from Burgundy, France in the circa-1880s, with the motif in the wrought iron being a chestnut leaf a symbol of the area at the time. The double downstairs doors are from a convent close to Paris and made of pine also around the 1880s. Its brass handles are sourced from Germany, about 1760. Off the commanding full height entry lies an under-stair cellar, whilst the spacious open-plan living and formal-dining area, with a feature marble gas fireplace is where you're naturally pulled. The stunning detail of the European Oak timber chevron parquetry floors feature throughout the ground floor level and set the tone for quality.

Spill outside through the ceder glass bifold doors, to the light filled northern courtyard, for splendid entertaining that is shaded by the climbing grapevine overall, a great extension of the living spaces. There is a wood-fire pizza oven to impress your guests with, especially during those balmy summer evenings.

The gorgeous kitchen is separate from, yet adjacent to, the main living space. It's very generous pantry with double barn sliders allows appliances to be stored away so that the counter tops are uncluttered and free. The spacious kitchen itself doubles as a casual-meals area also with direct courtyard access and feature timber full height windows. Gas cooking, stainless-steel oven, a stainless-steel range hood, double-drawer dishwasher and more. Also on the ground level is a large powder room with marble tiling, as well as a separate laundry with external access off the kitchen.

Upstairs, a massive central second living/lounge room can easily be made private, and converted into a potential third bedroom, right next to plenty of built-in hallway storage. The second bedroom is large in size with cathedral ceiling and feature french doors with Juliette balcony to over look treetops. The enormous master bedrooms takes the cake with its own feature ceiling and double-door walk-in wardrobe. A separate toilet and large marble laden bathroom with a shower, separate bathtub and vanity sit only inches away for ease of living.

The second-bedroom balcony doors from the Provence region are made from oak, with very old original glass at the top of them. The lock strike is handmade (each one a different design for the Maison that is was made for), whilst the wrought-iron balcony itself is from the Derectoire period the Napoleonic era of approximately 1790. All of the joints within it are hand-made and riveted, with the stars made of lead.

East Fremantle Primary School, John Curtin College of the Arts, bus stops and lush local parklands are around the corner, whilst just down the hill lies vibrant George Street with its magnificent La Lune, Young George, The Duke Jazz Bar, unique shops, pilates and wellness.
