Enjoying a commanding street-front presence yet still set far enough back from the road to ensure privacy, this charming 3 bedroom 2.5 bathroom pre-World War II character home has been tastefully renovated in recent times to encourage contemporary and convenient living – so close to the vibrant South Terrace bar, café and restaurant strip.
A leafy gated front yard is also accessible via the driveway, where up to four cars can park – in between a full-width entry verandah and the lawn, trees and shade that make up an inviting garden setting. Internally, soaring high ceilings and solid wooden Jarrah floorboards are commonplace throughout and complemented by tall feature timber skirting boards, decorative ceiling roses and intricate cornices.
Huge front second and third bedrooms both have ceiling fans and gorgeous white plantation window shutters, with the former also playing host to built-in wardrobes. The master-bedroom suite doubles as a commodious and relaxing retreat where a ceiling fan and over-head storage space meet a quality ensuite addition behind double doors, complete with a full-height mirrored linen press, a walk-in shower, toilet and vanity.
The second bathroom is both stylish and modern, with lots of natural light filtering in to illuminate the separate bath, rain shower, vanity, toilet and heat lamps on offer.
A spacious lounge room is warmed by a fireplace and boasts a ceiling fan, a gas bayonet for heating and beautiful white plantation window shutters of its own.
It precedes the open-plan kitchen and dining area where most of your casual time will be spent congregating around stainless-steel bench tops, double sinks, mirrored splashbacks, an appliance nook, a range hood, a Kleenmaid gas cooktop, a Westinghouse oven and a stainless-steel Ariston dishwasher. This central space is kept comfortable by split-system air-conditioning and white plantation shutters.
Double doors off the dining area reveal an expansive rear alfresco-entertaining deck with a ceiling fan. A second alfresco area out back doubles entertainment options and even has loft storage above it, as well as boasting an under-cover clothesline and a side-access gate for good measure.
An original horse stable has been converted to a large outdoor laundry with ample storage options, whilst the third bathroom can also be found within the backyard and has its own bathtub – right next door to a separate toilet. There are even lemon and orange trees, plus a herb garden at the rear.
Experience that sought-after South Fremantle lifestyle you have always wanted, footsteps from where the action is on the Terrace and just a leisurely 15-minute stroll away from beautiful South Beach in all of its glory. South Fremantle Dog Beach and the Fremantle Sailing Club are within walking distance too, with public transport (including the free CAT bus), the centre of Fremantle town, shopping, schools and more all just around the corner and so easily accessible. What an incredibly impressive location!
