174 Hampton Road

Beaconsfield's most iconic property

Positioned prominently on the corner of Hampton Road, this iconic residence – formerly the Beaconsfield & South Fremantle Post Office – is a rare offering rich in history, presence and architectural detail, standing as one of the original landmarks of Fremantle’s early streetscape.

Behind its striking façade lies a substantial five-bedroom, two-bathroom home with five-car accommodation, combining heritage charm with versatile living across a generous footprint. High ceilings, ornate cornices, original timber floors and multiple fireplaces honour its late 1800s origins, while expansive rooms and flexible spaces provide comfort for modern family living.

From the moment you enter, the craftsmanship is unmistakable. A grand timber staircase anchors the home, framed by warm Tasmanian Huon pine floors upstairs and soaring ceilings. The formal lounge showcases a statement fireplace and beautiful natural light, while multiple living zones allow for separation, entertaining or working from home.

The kitchen retains its character proportions and is positioned upstairs, flowing seamlessly into the second living area to create a spacious and functional hub of the home. Downstairs, the paved courtyard provides a private outdoor retreat, where established greenery and golden afternoon light combine to create a relaxed, European-inspired setting. The corner position enhances both the scale and street presence of the home, making it one of the most recognisable residences in the area.

Accommodation is generous, with five oversized bedrooms, including rooms with decorative fireplaces and elegant proportions rarely found in modern builds. Two bathrooms service the home, including a charming clawfoot bath that complements the property’s heritage character.

With five car spaces and excellent accessibility, the property also presents exciting potential for those seeking a live/work opportunity (subject to relevant approvals), honouring its long-standing community presence.
