18 Holland Street, Fremantle WA 6160

Elevated historic home, abundant opportunity

Up on the high side of Holland Street is a striking series of stone homes created by the same builder in the early 1900s, and this is one of those iconic properties. Limestone walls, brick quoins, jarrah floors, ornate veranda posts, an arched hallway and high ceilings are the classic features.

The elevation and the way the long block rises to a wide rear right of way make it something very special. The western end of Holland Street is a wonderful location - stroll to the river, parks and excellent local schools or take a walk down to central Fremantle or George Street.

Take the steps up to the high jarrah veranda, welcoming the breezes through the trees. Beyond the original front door with its detailed panelling, there are two large bedrooms off the central hallway. A weatherboard addition to the eastern side has added a modern ensuite bathroom and walk-in-robe.

At the end of the hallway, the home opens to a generous living room with jarrah bookcase and an impressive fire place. The character features of the original home are unspoiled, with the historic atmosphere intact and ready to be simply refreshed.

To the rear is more of a project: layers of history unfold, with a basic kitchen and dining area, a northern sunroom, laundry and walled courtyards.

Outside, jarrah steps rise up the block to a large two-storey northern outbuilding and an elevated paved area. Below is a cellar/workshop and above is a vast two-roomed workshop garage, facing a wide cul-de-sac right of way from Chalmers Street. That rear access is a fantastic bonus adding great flexibility in this sought-after cityside location.

All the fundamentals are here. A treasured piece of Fremantle history with wonderful street presence on a rare, long, elevated block, north-facing at the rear, and in a great neighbourhood. It’s all set to inspire your imagination.
