Affectionately known as the Beach House, this delightful heritage cottage – across from Fremantle Sailing Club, and just steps to the beach and the best of South Freo - is an ethereal mix of retreat-like ambience and coastal aesthetics.
Neutral interiors, classic bead-board panelling, high ceilings and polished jarrah floors integrate with effortless flow and warm natural light in-line with chic nautical style. Original fireplaces, pops of leadlight, and a magnificent country-style kitchen - clad in indigo tiles and a Fremantle wood stove oven - is the hub for family gatherings and relaxed entertaining – aka Freo-style!
Distinguished by its sandy earth render and blue picket fence, the exterior light- dappled veranda is where hours could be spent watching sunsets via peaceful garden views or enjoy the enclosed alfresco out back for barbecues around the seasons.
Two bright and airy bedrooms - one with a fireplace and both with ceiling fans - lead to the central living zone adorned in decorative ceiling details and anchored by an antique timber-framed fireplace.
To follow, a wonderfully spacious kitchen, with sky-high ceilings, ample storage, gas hobs and timber bench tops, is generous enough to include a large table for meals and casual get-togethers.
A rear extension includes the third bedroom which has direct access to a bright and beachy bathroom/laundry, while the second bathroom is coastally inspired by a spa bath, glass block windows and a customised vanity fitted with a bespoke, hand-painted basin and warm timber benchtops.
The leafy garden landscape, laid in timber pavers, lends itself to a hidden holiday retreat, where an outdoor shower, screened by corrugated iron, completes the picture of lazy beach days and melding with nature.
This highly sought-after South Fremantle location is close to all the attractions this seaside community is adored for.
Iconic bakeries, cafes, bars and grocers, along with yoga and Pilates studios, wellness centres, healthfood stores, chic boutiques, charming community parks and much more, are literally around the corner, while Freo-central, Notre Dame University, Fishing Boat Harbour and access to a regular CAT bus service and public transport, are all on offer.
Other features include a double carport, gas bayonet & split-system air-conditioner (living), locks on doors and windows, plus security mesh on main doors, fully reticulated gardens and stylish window treatments.
