15 Chester Street, South Fremantle WA 6162

3 bedrooms, study, studio | 2 bathrooms | 2 car garage

Immaculate, charming and undeniably coastal — this circa 1905 character weatherboard and brick home seamlessly marries its period features with modern comforts for relaxed contemporary living. Featuring high ceilings, exquisite leadlight details, wide-set hardwood flooring and a magnificent sun-drenched living area framed by expansive windows overlooking the lush garden.

The main house contains 3 generous bedrooms (one anchored by a character fireplace) and a country-coastal inspired integrated bathroom/laundry, replete with a corner bath combo and timber benchtop.

The spacious open plan unites the kitchen, living and dining beneath a charming white timber-clad slanted ceiling and features a central fireplace (gas bayonet). A crisp white kitchen, centred around a snowy-stone look breakfast bar, features a generous sized pantry, quality appliances, and a large picture window that perfectly captures the tropical garden beyond. Adjacent is a versatile study, enhanced by an original wood-stove recess.

Beyond this point, a vast and breezy alfresco truly captures the essence of relaxed coastal South Freo living. Honey-toned timber panelling accentuates an impressive vaulted ceiling with a ceiling fan, modern downlighting and a striking leadlight that pays homage to South Beach sunsets and the iconic South Mole Lighthouse. Sharing the garden is an independent dwelling - with kitchenette and access to the second bathroom and a second laundry. This prized studio with separate entry via the garage, offers excellent potential for short-term rental income or private retreat for teenagers or house guests.

Other features include a magnificent, reticulated garden with fruit trees, and a pond. Comfort is assured with split-system air-conditioning, a gas bayonet in the living area, and an automatic twin garage with shopper's entry and rear access. Relax on the charming front porch and watch the world go by or escape to a tropical oasis at the rear — this home truly offers something for everyone, all while enjoying easy access to some of South Fremantle's most desirable attractions. Walk just metres to Wild Bakery for a morning coffee and croissant, stroll a few minutes to the local primary school, or the beautiful South Beach — this is quintessential South Fremantle living at its finest.
