A HERITAGE HAVEN!
Occupying a massive 1,012sqm (approx.) corner block with the potential to subdivide and retain the existing heritage house whilst enjoying the bonus of a street-front lot facing Millenden Street, this exquisite 1929-built 4 bedroom 2 bathroom character home will charm you and your family with its warmth and sits just minutes away from East Fremantle's vibrant riverside precinct, as well as the heart of Fremantle town itself.
Beyond a gorgeous white picket fence and gate lie lush green lawns, beautiful gardens and a host of stunning period features within - from solid wide Jarrah floorboards to soaring high ceilings, classic fireplaces, elegant light fittings and exemplary leadlight trimmings. A welcoming entry foyer separates the formal dining and sitting rooms to the right from a large master bedroom - with a lovely bay window and original leadlights - directly opposite.
An intimate bathroom with a shower, toilet and nostalgia tiling services the front part of the house, including a third bedroom or study that can be either depending on your personal needs, plus a generous fourth bedroom with access through to the neat and tidy laundry-come-second bathroom with a shower and toilet of its own. The casual open-plan family and meals-area extension is where most of your time will be spent and leads through to a renovated country-style kitchen with quality modern cooking appliances, a dishwasher, a floating island bench and seamless access to an enclosed rear verandah or children's playroom with a ceiling fan and a striking series of French doors flowing outside.
A fabulous entertaining deck also overlooks a sprawling backyard where the kids can let their imaginations safely run wild during multiple family gatherings when they're not splashing around in the shimmering below-ground swimming pool throughout the hotter months of the year. Completing this unique package is a single lock-up garage, a workshop shed for dad, ample parking space and a gated second driveway for through access via Millenden Street.
Stroll down to the local cafe strip, Fresh Provisions for your groceries, the old East Fremantle Oval, excellent schools, our picturesque Swan River, summer outdoor concerts at Fremantle Arts Centre and a full calendar of events, festivals and markets held in Fremantle. The local primary schools are loved by the community and the property is very handy to John Curtin College, bus stops and the Royal Fremantle Golf Club - what a location, what an opportunity!
