This classic limestone cottage built in the 1890's is an integral part of this vibrant George Street precinct. With only three owners in its 120 plus year history, the home offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere to its next residents. With mixed use zoning and a wonderfully flexible floorplan for its age, there are options galore for residential and/or commercial use in this thriving community.
Sitting in an elevated position above the street, a charming porch underneath a traditional bullnose verandah provides the perfect spot for a morning coffee. With thick limestone walls, high ceilings and jarrah floors, the long central hallways invites you in. The two front bedrooms overlook the verandah and on to a large central living room with a gas log fire for winter. A third room, currently configured as a dining room, sits adjacent to the living room and could quite easily become a spacious bedroom. The family kitchen has plenty of room for preparing your favourite meals and ample room for family dining.
The fifties renovation, which retained the home's original footprint, includes the family bathroom and a study that the current owners use an office/studio but could work just as well as a fourth bedroom.
At the rear is a laundry, workshop and secluded outdoor toilet. A large patio and big garden are all north facing and there is a carport and plenty off street parking to the side. The house sits at one side of the 449sqm block, allowing plenty of scope for future extensions and renovations.
Front and rear security doors let the breezes flow through, with solar power, solar hot water and water tanks plumbed into the toilet and laundry keeping the running costs low.
You will love living in this exciting location where you can walk to absolutely everything that the desirable East Fremantle lifestyle has to offer including Glasson Park across the road, award winning restaurants, shops and bars on George St, the Swan River, Fremantle Arts Centre and the trendy restaurants/bars including Leftbank, Tradewinds and Sweetwater.
Totally unique, with wonderful surprises unfolding beyond the front facade of this historic home, you will need to take fast action to become part of this very special and highly sought after neighbourhood.
