Rustic Cottage Beauty | Perfectly Preserved in Stone and Wood
Located in one of the most enchanting residential enclaves within the vibrant South Fremantle community - the endearing streetscape of this unique coastal hamlet, lined with majestic plane trees, whimsical laneways and exquisitely preserved cottages, will leave you enraptured at first sight.
Leafy and private, this charming home, clad in limestone and timbers, with a bullnose veranda and intricate frieze detail, is like stepping into a secluded sanctuary featuring tasteful reminders of its early 1900s heritage as an original fishermen’s cottage.
As expected, high ceilings, original jarrah floors throughout, sash windows and traditional fireplaces define the aesthetics of this residence, which have been honoured and preserved alongside comfortable additions.
An original Metta stove and chimney, offset by jarrah benchtops and cabinetry, a (movable) marble-topped island bench, Bosch induction cooker and Miele dishwasher complete the kitchen which extends to a light-dappled living and dining room fitted with a charming window seat, a vaulted, reclaimed timber ceiling and exposed “Fremantle Wool Stores” beams, stucco walls, a gas fireplace and French door access to a tranquil Mediterranean inspired courtyard.
Flourishing with olive, lemon and lime trees, a pomegranate bush, a guava tree, vines and Mediterranean herbs, this exclusively private sanctuary includes a two rain-water tanks, a small garden shed (with power), and gated side-street access.
The two spacious bedrooms at the front of the home could equally double as a master – with a split-system air-conditioner and ceiling fan - and a study (or formal sitting room), equipped with built-in shelving, cabinetry and a cosy Victorian open fireplace (installed with gas fired heating), along with peaceful street views.
A discreet, but perfectly appointed bathroom with European laundry, evokes spa-like vibes, with French door access to a modest and private courtyard.
Directly opposite is pretty Coral Park, a popular meeting place for local residents, their children and pooches, not to mention the central hub for the yearly (and keenly anticipated) “Park Party”.
With the harbour, South Beach and central Fremantle mere steps away (or catch the regular CAT Bus), perhaps the most endearing nearby attractions include the abundance of artisan bakeries (Abhi’s/Wild Bakery), healthy cafes (Manna Wholefoods/Ootong & Lincoln/Kerfuffle), hip bars (Little Creatures/Whose Your Mamma) and restaurants, alongside a plethora of lifestyle and wellness centres for yoga, Pilates, meditation and more.
Close by, the main arterial road of South Street offers direct access to supermarkets and other retail and convenience outlets, while Fremantle and Beaconsfield Primary Schools are just minutes away.
Other features of this enviable property include fully reticulated gardens, electronic security and excellent coastal sea breezes in the summer months, along with access to a warm and friendly, neighbourhood culture.
