Historic Charm, Welcoming Cottage
Occupying a prime corner position in a lovely community street of wide verges and tall trees, this charming green titled cottage is away from the hustle and bustle of central Fremantle but perfectly situated in an ultra-convenient location.
Everything is accessible here and close to all the attractions: Freo's historic centre, the river, cafes, George Street, excellent local schools and the new East Fremantle Community Park.
Step behind the traditional white picket fence and past the spacious front gardens to be greeted by a wonderfully tranquil, nostalgia-inducing, timber decked front porch - a perfect place to soak up the sun while watching the kids play in the front garden.
Prepare to be transported to a bygone era, where soaring high ceilings, solid jarrah floorboards, original leadlight doors and windows and fireplaces are commonplace throughout and will warm your heart upon first glance.
Enter into the central hallway, where a welcoming front lounge room is situated off the hall, complete with its own open fireplace, a split-system air-conditioning unit for climate control and a gas bayonet to help combat the winter chill.
To the other side of the hallway is the large master bedroom with reverse cycle air-conditioning and a wall full of wardrobes. A second bedroom adjoining is spacious and includes a reverse cycle air-conditioning.
The dining room is a delightful central space flowing through to the kitchen. The heart of the home is the updated kitchen -fabulously fitted out with white cabinetry and granite benchtops, a freestanding oven with gas cooktop, Miele dishwasher drawer and oodles of storage, all overlooking the front gardens and pretty white wisteria.
The family bathroom has been renovated to include a laundry and plays host to a bathtub, shower, and vanity.
A study nook adds a perfect area for the computer or mini home library. A second sitting space at the rear could easily be walled off to create a third bedroom while not comprising on living space.
Outside is a magical north facing covered alfresco area, designed for year round entertaining with pull down café blinds. Imagine summer nights with family and friends, fire up the barbeque and enjoy open-air dining. Relish in your supremely private back garden complete with fruit trees, grapevines, the original outdoor toilet and vege garden bed.
All this is within walking distance of 9 Seeds and the Cool-room cafés and East Fremantle's vibrant new Oval Precinct and George Street or head to Gibson Park to walk the dog. Not to mention, bars, entertainment, and beautiful beaches on either side of the Harbour.
Become a part of a friendly neighbourhood that nurtures a warm and inclusive community spirit here in this magical character cottage.
