Within the idyllic and tightly held beachside suburb of South Fremantle, opportunities like this simply do not come around often.
Built circa 1890s, 11 Wesley Street sits grandly atop a limestone ridge with a generous bullnose timber porch that affords elevated eastward views across the suburb. Entering the beautifully maintained heritage home, you are greeted by newly restored original jarrah floorboards, fresh white walls and high ceilings featuring decorative ceiling roses. The front of the house features two double-sized bedrooms with tall sash windows, white timber blinds and zoned ducted air-conditioning. The southern bedroom sports a fireplace and large wardrobe, while the northern bedroom delights with French doors that open to the sunny main side-garden.
Further down the hallway awaits a generous living space with sleek black slate tiles, fireplace with wood surrounds, white painted timber ceiling and studio lighting for a more modern coastal aesthetic. Neighbouring the living room is a large and practical kitchen space that has re-wried electrics in anticipation of a future dream renovation.
A dual purpose bathroom/laundry is situated at the rear of the house featuring modern lighting, beautiful wood and tiled vanity with inset wash hand basin, toilet, shower, laundry sink and tastefully builtin cupboard/bench top for housing a washer and dryer.
At the end of the hallway, a small flight of steps leads you down to a second living room (or contained bedroom and study) featuring a split system air conditioner. Tall windows and double doors beckon you out to a private sunken garden, complete with undercover timber decking seating area, another small gazebo plus an outdoor shower and outhouse (with enough space to install an internal heated shower if desired).
Saving the best till last, the front and rear outdoor areas are connected by a Mediterranean style side-garden featuring a mature Eureka lemon tree, explosively productive mature fig tree and enchanting lagoon-like pool (for when the mere 740m walk to South Beach is just too much). This north facing, leafy green outdoor entreatment area simply begs for hosting friends and family on balmy summer nights. But perhaps even more unique for South Fremantle is the property’s secure double car garage providing much needed off street parking, complete with remote controlled door and dedicated Tesla EV wall charger that draws from rooftop solar.
Within a truly desirable location and community, 11 Wesley street is an enchanting heritage home that has been thoughtfully fitted out with essential modern amenities for immediate liveability, yet the possibilities for future renovations on this 490m property are truly endless. We look forward see you at a home open.
