Discover the epitome of heritage charm and modern elegance with this captivating 1897 terrace home, nestled in the heart of the historic port city. A treasure trove of character, this residence was built the same year the Fremantle Port opened, and it seamlessly blends period features with contemporary comforts across its three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and multifaceted outdoor areas, complete with parking for two vehicles.
As you step through the grand entrance, you are immediately greeted by the warmth of original jarrah floors, leading you past the expansive front bedroom adorned with a fireplace. The journey continues past the inviting lounge to an elegant dining room, setting the stage for memorable gatherings. The adjoining country-style kitchen, bathed in natural light from skylights, features rich pine cabinetry and a quaint courtyard with a serene water feature.
The home's old-world charm is clear in its kept fireplaces, high ceilings, detailed plaster designs, and the delicate lace ironwork on the balconies. The stained-glass accents add a splash of colour and history, making the house's classic beauty even more special.
Ascend the graceful staircase to the upper level, where spacious bedrooms await, including a master bedroom with a modern ensuite, boasting sleek high gloss white cabinetry. The family bathroom exudes a Federation era vibe, with its pine ceiling, patterned black and white tiled floor, and a luxurious corner spa bath.
The alfresco dining area on the upper floor is a veritable haven, with a pitched roof balcony that commands stunning city views. This space is perfected with a ceiling fan and a sophisticated built-in outdoor kitchen, promising an unrivalled entertaining experience.
Restaurants, wine bars, cafes and markets just moments from your door, or if a relaxing dip is what you’re after, stroll through the historic West End past the bookshops and boutiques to Fremantle’s iconic Bather’s Beach.
