A Charming Reflection of 1890s History

**All Offers Presented on Wednesday 30th October 2024 (unless sold prior). **

Built in the 1890s, this charming brick and iron cottage is part of a unique group of three semi-detached residences, each revered for their iconic Victorian-Georgian architecture, and admired for the historical significance they bring to North Fremantle's colourful streetscape. Nestled within a rare location, this beguiling property is just steps from Queen Victoria Street's lifestyle strip and a short stroll Port Beach.

Staggered on a 45-degree street angle to maximise natural light and privacy, an inviting bullnose veranda frames the distinctive exterior of federation brickwork, chamfered timber posts & brackets, and subtle duck-egg blue highlights which nod to the surrounding coastal landscape.
Rich jarrah floors, lofty ceilings, decorative roses and wide federation skirting boards & architraves flow through the home's interior with its character hallway and Victorian-styled arch mouldings.

Original timber framed fireplaces and sash windows feature in each of the two bedrooms with spacious floorplans to furnish generously.
A cozy drawing room or library bolsters the modern kitchen - blissfully bathed in warm northern light with external access to a tranquil rear garden with brick paving to a vine-covered pergola, a timber storage shed, outdoor toilet and a traditional washroom/laundry at the far rear.

Honouring the home's heritage, a traditional Metters stove has been lovingly preserved against the contrast of a modern kitchen fit-out with Bosch appliances (an electric oven, 4-burner gas stove & dishwasher) and chic, designer highlights of white subway tiles and matte black cabinetry
Minimalist modern aesthetics are continued into the sunny bathroom which enjoys peaceful views to a cottage garden and includes a combined bathtub & shower, and a frameless glass shower screen.

Steeped in a rich tapestry of Port City life, this tightly held street is where the original Weeties factory, now a luxury warehouse conversion, is located.
As one of a very special group of three semi-detached residences, this property holds extreme rarity value and contributes to the development and heritage of the North Fremantle community.

Ideally located on a quiet and narrow residential street - named in honour of the site's original landholder - this unique address bisects the triangular section defined by Stirling Highway, Queen Victoria Street and the Swan River, with a plethora of trendy bars, cafes, exciting dining options and a boutique wine store, just around the corner.

Walk to the Swan River foreshore & magnificent parkland spaces, drive less than 10 minutes into Fremantle central and stroll to the local primary school.
Supremely safe and secure, this is a rare opportunity to reside in one of the most treasured corners of North Fremantle's enduring past and desirable present.
