192 High Street, Fremantle WA 6160

Historic Fremantle Residence

When you purchase 'Rose Manor', you'll secure a magnificent 1930s character residence with ocean and port views and a slice of Fremantle history!

The original owner was Mr Bruce Lee, a prominent resident who served on Fremantle Council from 1941 to 1968 and had nearby Bruce Lee Reserve named in his honour. Well-established greenery provides shade and privacy from the street, where several local schools - public and private - are within strolling distance. The port city's town centre is moments away, where you'll find an ever-evolving smorgasbord of small bars, cafes and restaurants to enjoy.

Crafted from solid limestone and weatherboard, and draped in gorgeous Virginia creeper, this warm and welcoming home is brimming with character charm and spans three levels over the 412sqm block. Polished jarrah floorboards, picture rails, soaring ornate ceilings, leadlight panes and timber door and window frames feature throughout.

At the front of the home is the cosy lounge room, complete with a working wood fireplace; opposite, you'll find the spacious main bedroom with reverse-cycle air conditioning and an entrance into a sun-drenched sunroom/office. The bathroom is generous in size and has a marble-topped vanity, a WC and a shower over the corner bathtub.

Bedroom two is also generous in size, and the third bedroom can be found upstairs, along with a handy study nook/activity room, each with charming pitched ceilings and views of Fremantle Port and the Indian Ocean.

The kitchen overlooks the living/dining area and features a marble-topped benchtop and stainless steel appliances, including a gas cooktop, electric under-bench oven and a Bosch dishwasher. There's a handy powder room adjacent with a second WC, and access to the sunroom/office. Step outside and enjoy quiet moments of contemplation and a cuppa on the sunny timber deck, surrounded by established gardens.

There's a vast amount of storage space built into the home's limestone footings, including a laundry with built-in shelving and a large wine cellar which may also work as a bedroom or activity if desired. Sit beneath the shady trees in the private courtyard, blissfully unaware of the hustle and bustle of Freo on your doorstep.

Across the road, Monument Hill Memorial Reserve showcases stunning ocean and harbour views and offers a picturesque setting to remember the fallen on Anzac Day. CBC and John Curtin Colleges are each a five-minute walk from home, as is Fremantle Park. Stroll to the Fremantle Arts Centre for Sunday Sessions on the lawn, concerts and art exhibitions, Fremantle Leisure Centre and any number of local cultural attractions.

This exceptional property offers buyers a canvas to reimagine the historic character home and a lifestyle only Fremantle can offer! Call Caro Cunningham from Ray White Cottesloe-Mosman Park today, on 0409 992 889.
