169 Forrest Street is a superb example of Fremantle's history and architecture with its captivating turn of the century elegance and grand proportions.
With a sweet picket fence and cottage garden, the entrance leads you onto a lovely north facing veranda - a perfect spot to enjoy the winter sun and local bird life. Built of stone in c1904, this single level residence presents an impressive façade with a timeless arched hallway offering beautifully portioned rooms off either side.
Today the home retains much of its original charm with an enhanced contemporary twist. Additional alterations incorporate a vast open-plan living area featuring a stunning bay window and a generous well-designed kitchen/dining area to entertain your family and friends.
Boasting double sash windows, back-to-back fireplaces, extra high ceilings and rich jarrah flooring, it is easy to fall in love with the grandeur and pure delight of this family home.
All three bedrooms are enormous with the deluxe main bedroom sharing a well-appointed and luxurious ensuite with separate deep bath, double basins, and dual access from the laundry.
Outside is a wonderfully private sanctuary with mature trees and a leafy garden set within attractive high limestone walls. This creates an inviting alfresco setting for relaxation or a fire pit for dinner parties on a chilly evening. There is also plenty of room to store kayaks and bikes under the main house.
This gem is positioned high on the hilltop and on the doorstep of several amenities from Fremantle to East Fremantle and nearby Bicton. Local schools, parkland, cafes, and river foreshore are all within easy reach.
