26 McCleery Street, Beaconsfield, WA 6162

Up on the ridge with views to ocean, islands and port, this historic home has become even grander, with a substantial addition creating a truly flexible family home. The massive upstairs space flowing to an expansive terrace is secluded from the lower level, and the corner position with separate side access offers even more possibilities for multi-generational living. Floors of jarrah and pine, lofty ceilings over three metres high, wraparound verandah, and classic Victorian detailing all add to the atmosphere, and it's an easy stroll down the hill to the South Freo streetlife.

Across the breezy front verandah and through the leadlight door, two large bedrooms span the entry lobby, with a third bedroom down the ornate arched hallway. French doors open to the northern verandah from the gracious dining room, which flows to a contemporary kitchen. Also on this level is a bathroom, and a long rear lobby or activity space opening to the alfresco and gardens. It's all private and relaxing, with a big shady tree, lawn, rockery and gazebo. There's a gate to Martha Street at the side, as well as vehicle access to a tandem double garage and large workshop area, plus a laundry/utility room with lots of storage. This is all waiting for you to arrange as you wish, with the possibility of creating independent accommodation.

The elevated position is revealed in spectacular fashion on the home's second storey: enjoy glorious sunsets, look out to Rottnest and Carnac islands, across to the port, and watch the ships come in on Gage Roads. The large open-plan space has a kitchenette, and arched windows all around to embrace the views. It's easy to configure for dining, lounging, work zones, and entertaining on the grand upper verandah. The spacious master bedroom is on this level, with dual access en-suite.

The luxury of space isn't always easy to find in classic Freo homes. But here there's plenty of room and all the options for you to decide just how you want to make this place your own, up on the hill looking out to the ocean.
