19 Stevens Street, Fremantle WA 6160

Steeped in the charm of a typical Freo worker’s cottage, built c.1896, the joys of this coastal address only add to the appeal: walk to cafes, parks and public transport, bike to the beach or vibrant markets, with the hustle-and-bustle of town minutes away.

Sitting high, stairs rise to a breezy veranda in salt-and-pepper terrazzo, looking out to the historic streetscape beyond. A little frangipani garden frames the exterior, while the home opens up to two bedrooms, both sunkissed by that northern aspect. Original wide-plank jarrah boards are hiding under the linoleum and would come up a treat with a makeover.

A long central hallway adorned with decorative cornicing and a ceiling rose opens into the big kitchen, with a pop of buttercream and black tiling. There’s a freestanding cooker and space to incorporate a casual meals area, with a formal living adjacent, behind etched glass sliding doors.

To the enclosed rear, a variety of retro tiles add plenty of personality with a cellar below, connecting to the single garage, and a bathroom in hues of baby-blue, black and white. The laundry and old outhouse toilet extend beyond, leading to the back garden.

Outside, a glorious fig tree takes pride of place above the lawn, with lemon and bougainvillea peering over the stone wall to the south. With a little imagination, there’s room to extend with a second storey potentially claiming ocean views in the distance (STCA).

Offered to market for the first time in over 50 years, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity, brimming with potential to make it yours.
