Imagine a serene cul-de-sac where at the end of the street, you have a walking path along the park to the beach. It’s the perfect place to enjoy all the joys of living by the ocean while quietly tucked away from the South Freo action. There you’ll find a classic early 20th century rendered brick and iron home with historic features intact. High ceilings, jarrah floors, double-hung sash windows and decorative glass elements all create a warm atmosphere. Minimal intervention over the years makes this a rare opportunity: offering liveability right now, and a blank slate to think about how to make the most of this precious beachside location.
Beyond the peppermint and bottlebrush trees on the verge, a white picket fence lines the front lawn, and at the side is gated tandem parking for two cars. The historic architecture has a classic street presence, with the return veranda leading to an entry framed in original coloured glass.
Inside is the air-conditioned living room, with jarrah floors, high skirtings, picture rails and a timber fireplace with Victorian tiling. A large triple window frames the front garden from the master bedroom, and at the rear of the home looking out to the back garden is a second jarrah-floored bedroom. A clawfoot bath is a striking feature of the spacious white bathroom, and the dining room flows through to a simple kitchen. Out back is lots of birdsong in the garden, alfresco dining shaded by the wide back veranda, a laundry/shed, the original outdoor loo, and a side gate through to the driveway.
This is a wonderful neighbourhood: a mix of historic and modern architecture, great bakeries, restaurants, cafes, galleries, and creative local retail. The supermarket and all the facilities of the South Fremantle shopping centre are also a short walk away. And, best of all, you can step out of the house, walk down the path, and throw yourself in the ocean whenever you feel like it.

South Fremantle is an established residential area within the City of Fremantle. Spanning two square kilometres, the land has harbour uses in the west sector as well as some commercial land use. Settlement of South Fremantle started in 1831 with growth taking place in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Expansion continued during the 1950s and 1960s and again in the early 1990s when new dwellings were added to the area.
With the Fremantle city centre just kilometres away, residents of South Fremantle will not want for things to do. South Beach is a major feature within the suburb, bringing to life its coastal appeal and there are plenty of local parks to explore. Other features of note are South Fremantle Shopping Centre, South Fremantle Market Place and Success Harbour Train Station, which provides convenient transport into Perth.
