10 Burns Street, North Fremantle WA 6159

EARLY 1900's LIMESTONE COTTAGE

Live in one of the most convenient pockets of North Fremantle in this delightful limestone character home, walking distance to the beach and river and just moments to the hub of Queen Victoria Street, with all the best cafes, restaurants and shops North Fremantle has to offer.

On a green titled block, this charming worker's cottage has a lovely feeling of privacy and retreat, tucked beyond a tall brick wall and mulberry tree on Burns Street. Established in the early 1900s, Burns Street's pretty cottages were largely built for local workers, many who worked at the former Weeties factory at the end of the road, now a beloved North Fremantle icon.

Built in the early 1900s, number 10 is a gorgeous example of Victorian Georgian architecture. Handsome limestone walls, gabled iron roof, brick-paved veranda and gracious leadlight entry create an enchanting first impression. The leadlight entry reveals a long and wide entry hall with high ceilings, archway with corbels, ceiling rose, tall skirtings and original polished jarrah floorboards.

Three large, airy bedrooms branch off the hall, each with an original solid timber door. Two bedrooms have charming original fireplaces, while the main has a beautiful feature window overlooking the front courtyard and a split system. The three bedrooms offer good versatility; with scope for one to be used as a home office, study or additional living room if desired.

A French door at the end of the hall opens to a large and inviting family room. Choose a book from the built-in shelves and curl up by the fireplace. This is a good-sized family room that also offers space for a study desk or children's play nook.

The family room flows into the open-plan kitchen and dining at the rear, a later addition that perfectly complements the original home. Plenty of natural light and beautiful material textures create a warm and welcoming feel, with white-painted brick walls, painted shiplap ceilings, exposed beams and charcoal-coloured floor tiles. Charming diamond leadlight windows overlook the little back garden, where there is a garden shed, citrus tree and original freestanding dunny.

Two sets of glass and timber doors from the dining area open the house up to the outdoors. Paved with recycled red bricks, these low-maintenance alfresco areas would be beautiful decorated with festoon lights and an array of potted plants. Ideal for relaxed entertaining, there is a good amount of covered patio space for an outdoor dining table by the built-in barbecue, that features a built-in timber bench alongside. Sit under the alfresco and relax with friends over a bottle of wine before meandering down to Queen Victoria Street for dinner. Here, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to dining and entertainment options, with Propeller, Mrs Brown Bar, Flipside Burgers, Habitue, Piggy Food Co, Port Beach Garden Bar and Bruce Town just some of the places within a short walk.

The home's cute country-style pine kitchen has plenty of benchtop space and great natural light from the big window above the sink. There is a freestanding stainless steel oven with four burner gas cooktop.

A good-sized combined bathroom and laundry has exposed timber ceiling set with a coloured glass skylight, stained glass window and bath with shower overhead.

There is an off-street, covered single car bay, with scope to extend this to create a double tandem bay, permission pending.

Walking distance to North Fremantle Primary School, childcare, playgrounds and parklands, this house is well-suited to young families, but also caters to couples, singles, downsizers or retirees who want to enjoy the best of the North Fremantle lifestyle.
