Port and Leighton Beaches, with coastal dining places like Bib & Tucker and Palette, lie just a short drive away. It's also an easy stroll over the bridge to restaurants and bars in East Fremantle or to the Fremantle cappuccino strip. Built in 2000, the house has a classic palette and features, with honey-hued timber floorboards, high ceilings and recently renovated modern bathrooms. Standing tall on friendly Bruce Street, the house has a pleasing elevation with clean contemporary lines and white rose bushes. Timber double doors open to an entry foyer with void to the ceiling, a grand staircase and versatile living area with built-in bookcase with rolling ladder, ideally situated for a home office at the front of the house.

Twin bedroom suites have walk-in robes and renovated ensuites with reclaimed wood-look feature wall tiles. A large laundry has a space for a bar fridge - an ideal addition for hungry teens. The heart of the home is the capacious open-plan living, kitchen and dining to the central floor. With wonderful northern light and leafy outlooks from every turn, this warm and welcoming room with gas fireplace was made for family life. Two spacious balconies offer scope for indoor-outdoor entertaining - sit at the front with a coffee, or retire to the protected internal balcony for cosy alfresco meals. The kitchen is delightful with solid timber cabinets, granite benchtops and black hardware giving a timeless feel. There is a large pantry, Ilve gas cooktop with teppanyaki plate, oven and dishwasher.

Use this room as a studio, study or kids playroom - a perfectly contained space for them to spread out their toys while remaining in earshot of the kitchen. One of the lovely features of this home is its airiness, with plenty of windows and natural light at every turn. The luxurious main suite with both robe and walk-in is no different. The elegant ensuite has a huge bath, rainshower and a mirror with LED lighting that adds impact to the stunning twin vanity with marri benchtop.
