This heritage Freo home has a mini waterfall and floating al fresco bridge

Sometimes you cross paths with a house so special you don’t even know where to start.

This stunning heritage Freo home boasts more than its fair share of charming features – and we’re having a special peek inside thanks to Crib Creative.

Perched atop an impressively large, sloping block, the home has exceptional views across the harbour, which is less than 600 metres away. Beyond the expansive front lawn, the cornflower-blue Federation Queen Anne façade peeks out behind roses and eucalyptus blossoms – matching the sweet floral leadlight door surrounds.

It’s at the front of the home that its character charm truly shines, with ornate high ceilings, wide timber floorboards and feature fireplaces – not to mention that stunning bay window in the drawing room.

A second storey addition provides another, more casual (although no less impressive) seating area – soak up the view of the port through that spectacular vaulted window.

At the rear of the home is a particularly impressive use of the block’s natural slope. From the upstairs lounge, head outside to enjoy the sunset from the suspended deck – the perfect spot for summer dinner parties. Below the deck, a hidden garden is filled with delights: from that tranquil waterfall and pond to tumbles of chamomile and lush greenery.

Wind your way to the back of the garden and you’ll find the studio – which will level up your work from home space or make the perfect teenager or guest getaway.
