A Beautiful Extended 1916 Character Cottage
Nothing beats the quintessential cottage with a white picket fence, and this property is no exception! Stroll down a path paved with Federation tiles through a native cottage garden and you will reach this double-fronted 1916 home with its original sash windows and a deep veranda with turned posts. This property really does make an elegant connection to this community-friendly street.
Inside you are greeted with a classic central hallway with a large bedroom on either side. The ceilings are high and feature ceiling roses, picture rails, sash windows, and timber floorboards.
At the centre of the home is the character kitchen. This room provides plenty of bench space with overhead cupboards, while the country-style cabinets have wooden worktops and the farmhouse-style dining table really is the heart of this home. With a large, open doorway connecting to a cosy living area, this is the perfect place for informal family gatherings.
Beyond this central space, the back extension opens up with high cathedral ceilings. The main living area is a wonderful, light, open living space with a gas log fire. This further extends through bifold doors to a delightful, walled courtyard with a gorgeous Plane tree that provides shade during the summer months.
The layout of this cottage creates excellent separation between the bedrooms at the front and back of the home. The main bedroom overlooks the tranquil courtyard and is spacious with high ceilings, jarrah floorboards, lovely ensuite complete with bath, and a walk-in robe.
Shady, and surrounded by feature limestone walls, the rear courtyard is great for parties. Beyond it is a beautiful native garden playground for kids. There's plenty of lawn, mature trees and a big garage/workshop.
With ample storage throughout, this big, beautiful family home has all the character, space, amenity and charm you could wish for. You're close to shops, while the Gourmet "Grocer and Chef" is your convenient local deli. Wander straight down South Street to Fremantle and the beach or take a few minutes walk to Café Lumos!
