17 Russell Street, Fremantle WA 6160

The first tenants of these terraces were a harbour worker, a draper, an herbalist as well as a civil engineer and now is your chance to write your family into the history of 'Clyde Cottages'.

Nestled in one of Fremantle's favourite historic streets, this charming brick and iron terrace home was built in 1895 and today remains beautifully unaffected by insensitive renovations and is filled with the charm and character of its era.

The north facing bull nose verandah and picket fence gives a hint at what is beyond the front door and you will be excited to discover many sought-after features such as wide Jarrah floorboards, timber sash windows and 12-foot ceilings with decorative roses. There are also cast-iron fireplaces and a long hallway showcasing an ornamental archway with corbels and decorative cornices which are all still intact.

This terrace home has a lovely light and bright feeling that has been cleverly achieved from a covered breezeway that provides shelter for the large sash windows to the middle rooms as well as double French doors in the lounge room. When the kitchen was added, the home gained a large dining room while the antique Metters stove and original chimney surround were retained as a reminder of the heritage of the building.

The industrial style kitchen extension features stainless-steel benchtops softened by Sheoak timber cabinetry and is complete with quality Miele appliances as well as an integrated fridge, large pantry and a timber casement window to let in an abundance of light from the rear garden.

The family bathroom is generous and modern with a full-size bath and shower as well as laundry facilities and a toilet for convenience while the original outdoor toilet is at the back of the garden.

According to the Heritage Council, you may be living in a historic home but you are just moments from every modern convenience on offer including the cappuccino strip, Fishing Boat Harbour or the multitude of restaurants and cafes at Wray Avenue.

This charming home is ready to enjoy now or it would simply shine after a thoughtful renovation but either way, you will need to act quickly - you don't want to be waiting another 120 years!
