Enchanting Freo Gem: History, Character & Port Vistas
On a leafy little streetscape lined with character homes and colourful bottlebrush, this century-old beauty sits in the perfect position to enjoy everything Freo. A street away from the Fremantle Arts Centre and Lesiure Centre, everything is within walking distance: vibrant cafés, top restaurants, cool bars, museums, art galleries, public transport, the river, and more – right in the heart of it all.
One of a pair, behind a façade of stone and brick with a bullnose veranda, a quaint front courtyard offers the perfect spot to soak up the atmospheric setting. Inside, wide wandoo floorboards span the arched hallway, with two airy bedrooms peeling off to the right – complete with high ceilings, ornate ceiling roses and decorative fireplaces – and one with courtyard access.
The hallway opens into a gorgeous living area with a cast-iron and timber fireplace, plus air-conditioning for comfort, before flowing into the light-filled extension where twinkling cranes dot the distant landscape. The main bathroom has been updated in fresh tones (incorporating the laundry) and the kitchen too, with stainless-steel appliances.
Merging indoors and out, bi-folds stack open from the dining to an alfresco deck for easy entertaining against a backdrop of the port skyline. The traditional outhouse toilet is tucked into the corner, alongside a drying court, with gated side access to welcome guests through.
Originally built c.1898, and filled with character and endearing charm, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of Freo’s history – in a location just as iconic.
