Imagine

THIS home in Locke Crescent, East Fremantle offers more than even my most extravagant imaginings for the day my Lotto numbers arrive.

Actually there is no way I could conjure the mystical delights created by the vendor/builder in this amazing four-bedroom/five-bathroom abode, sitting on 779sqm.

There’s a touch of Arabian nights as you step through the soaring, antique timber gates into a lush courtyard, with its white-rendered walls, a fountain tinkling sweetly and the river and ocean laid out like a magic carpet.

The doors are one of many massive carved pieces used to create this totally unique home, collected over 12 years from around the world, including exotic beams from Egypt and lovely carved panels from Bali.

A stunning black wrought-iron staircase was hand-crafted by local sculptor Robbie Lange, and craftsmen created the white-washed walls, with their soft edges and texture.

The vendors were aiming for a home with all the features of a five-star resort, drawing on their experiences around the world, and they’ve pulled it off. The result is a soothing sense of tranquility, in beautiful open spaces.

Banks of bifold doors roll back in the vast living room, extending breathtaking views across parkland and the river to the ocean and islands beyond. In the massive kitchen/dining area they peel back bringing the huge swimming pool almost indoors.

The kitchen is a stunner, with Argentinean marble benches, including a huge island, a walk-in pantry—and a proper woodfired pizza oven. Imagine a real pizza oven, right in the kitchen.

The main bedroom is downstairs, a vast space with river and ocean views, a dressing room and a monster ensuite with his and hers vanities and a spa.

The other bedrooms are upstairs, all huge, all opening onto a balcony and all with ensuite.

A lush but low-maintenance garden means plenty of time to enjoy the pool and spa, or simply loll at your leisure in the beautifully carved cabana.

And in the unlikely event you feel the need to move, there’s no shortage of cafes, bars and restaurants a mere five-minute drive away.
