16 Tydeman Road North Fremantle, WA 6159

Come and see a special home that will surprise you with this incredible North Fremantle heritage home.

Believed to have been built in 1897, this charming home is one of the original, iconic workers' cottages on Tydeman Road. With their tuckpointed facades and pretty front gardens, these character homes are a much-loved sight by locals heading home from the beach nearby.

At first glance, this duplex home appears it would be a tiny two bedroom cottage. Yet beyond its quaint Victorian Georgian frontage lies a surprisingly generous, airy, beautifully reimagined two-storey family home with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a lovely feeling of space, light and tranquillity.

Step inside, close the front door and the outside world falls away. While on busy Tydeman Road, a meticulous renovation that included double glazed windows and a bespoke triple-glazed leadlight entry gives the home a delightful feeling of calm and retreat.

With low-maintenance outdoor spaces and a central location, this is a perfect home for a family, professional couples, downsizers or retirees who want to enjoy a convenient, coastal neighbourhood minutes to the beach, river and all the best North Fremantle offers.

A short stroll leads you to the vibrant village feel of Queen Victoria Street. Meet friends for a coffee at Ooh Coffee or Bruce Town, pick up pastries from Wild Bakery or stroll to dinner or drinks in the evening at Mrs Brown Bar or The Bridge House. Coastal eateries like Bib & Tucker, COAST Port Beach, Palette and The Orange Box are just minutes away. With schools, transport, community hubs, shopping and Fremantle's café culture all within easy reach, every convenience is at your doorstep.

The home's lovely elevation features a front veranda complemented by a pretty picket fence front garden with citrus, olive and bay leaf trees. The leadlight front door opens to a wide hallway with ornate corbels, high skirting boards and beautifully restored, waxed jarrah floors that create an immediate sense of warmth and history.

There are two elegant front bedrooms, each with original fireplace surrounds, one with built-in clothes rails. These bedrooms are serviced by an exquisitely renovated bathroom with tesselated French honeycomb tiles, a statement vanity with stone top, brushed brass tapware and refined finishes that evoke a feeling of understated luxury.

At the heart of the home, a light-filled and comfortable family room flows seamlessly into a stunning contemporary extension. Here clean lines and subtle industrial touches nod to the home's working-class origins, while a central stairwell draws in natural light and cooling sea breezes on hot days.

The kitchen and dining feels refined yet practical, with wide expanses of stainless steel benchtops, stunning zellige tiles, a five-burner Belling range cooker, Miele dishwasher and a generous walk-in pantry. Push aside the bi-fold doors to the private courtyard garden and enjoy an indoor-outdoor living flow. Children can play within view and evenings can unfold beneath the open sky. As well as the alfresco area with stunning honed aggregate floor and steps, there is a rear pergola. Cat lovers will appreciate the complete cat garden netting, meaning complete safety for your furry friend.

The back garden gives secure gated access to the double car parking beyond - an unusual feature for Tydeman Road residences, accessed off a driveway shared with only one other property. There is a storage shed and large lockable storage area at the side of the house, perfect for bikes or sporting equipment.

The contemporary staircase reveals the modern upper floor with beautiful oak floors and floor-to-ceiling bookcases. An eye-catching barn slider door made of reclaimed teak opens to the spacious main bedroom. Nestled at the back of the house, with a spacious private balcony overlooking the historic neighbourhood, this room feels like a calming retreat. A fantastic dressing room offers plenty of storage space.

There is another large bedroom upstairs, as well as a very stylish laundry and a stunning fully-tiled bathroom with terrazzo-style tiles, modern vanity and a spacious shower.

The home has solar panels, a large amount of easily accessible roof storage, split-system air-conditioning and a complete home water filtration system.

If you dream of a home that is rich in character, warm, spacious and effortlessly liveable, this very special North Fremantle home could be for you.
