19 Point Street, Fremantle WA 6160

This 1890's Heritage Listed limestone terrace is one of just a few remaining examples of this wonderful architectural style. The old, character homes of Fremantle are always highly desirable but these Victorian terraces are in a league of their own. With its second storey balcony, beautiful ironwork and a very grand central staircase that splits in two directions, this house is supremely elegant. With super-high ceilings, it has some of the best ornate plaster features you will see anywhere.

There are 2 reception rooms, a dining room and a kitchen downstairs and there are 3 bedrooms off the main landing upstairs. One of the reception rooms could equally be used as a ground floor bedroom if desired.

Two of the upstairs bedrooms have floor to ceiling sash windows which allow access onto the front verandah. This wonderful, shady spot allows you to watch the buzz of the street below whilst feeling private and hidden by the spreading Jacaranda at the front. There's a great sense of space up here with views across to John Curtin, the top of St Patrick's Basilica, and Monument Hill in the distance.

On the second floor is a large, fully renovated bathroom with claw foot bath, generous shower and a lovely bespoke timber-top vanity. Neatly hidden behind bifold doors is the laundry with plenty of additional storage space.

A sheltered upstairs deck with a "roof-top bar" feel makes the perfect hang-out for friends and family to enjoy drinks, dinners and barbecues.

Downstairs, the kitchen and dining rooms have access to the recycled brick courtyard - another place to sit outside and admire the beautiful stonework of the house. There is a convenient 2nd toilet outside and a gateway leading to your two parking bays at the rear.

There are so many wonderful features including thick limestone walls that create the deep windowsills throughout the home. There are wide, jarrah floorboards downstairs and the upstairs boards are Oregon. The staircase is exquisite and removal of the carpet will reveal the intricate beauties of the timber and the craftsmanship beneath... but... the biggest surprise of all is another staircase hidden underneath the main one, leading to a deep, limestone cellar. Designed to be a cool larder before the days of refrigeration, it is now perfect for the long-term cellaring of a fine wine collection.

If you love this style of home and the idea of living in the heart of Fremantle, then you will find no better opportunity than this - not least because there are only 3 groups of 2-storey Victorian terraces left in Fremantle!
