Heritage Beauty with Endless Opportunity
A striking tuck-pointed exterior, offset by a classic corrugated iron pitched roof, a sweeping front veranda and ornate lead-light windows set the scene for its grand federation-influenced interior that has been home to two generations of one family.
And now the opportunity presents for a new family to become custodians of this heritage beauty and make it their own dream home.
Original wide jarrah floorboards, high ceilings, picture rails, stucco walls, a double arched hallway, along with cornices and ceiling roses have been preserved to pristine condition, providing the perfect entry statement to tailor-make a spectacular extension at the rear of the property or simply enjoy for its vast space and multiple living zones.
Four original rooms at the front of the home have been “enhanced” by an extension, thought to have been added in the 1970s. Three of the front rooms, one with art deco inspired mantle and gas fire, can be used as bedrooms with an enclosed sleep-out off the formal dining room creating a potential fourth bedroom.
The rear zone, with touches of retro-charm, includes a light-filled kitchen with garden views, two bathrooms, one in the generous laundry and an activity room.
Outdoors, the options are limitless. A vast rear garden, with rainwater tank, artificial turf, covered patio, a workshop (shed) and the most spectacular Illawarra flame tree (along with several citrus trees), provides a canvas of opportunity.
Depending on your lifestyle needs, there’s plenty of room for a swimming pool, vegie garden or a light-filled re-modelling project of dream-worthy proportions!
A lock up single garage, with tandem parking for two additional vehicles, has potential to be re-purposed into a wine cellar, or simply enjoy the benefits of being located less than 10 minutes from the river foreshore (by foot) and 6 driving minutes to Port Beach, along with an abundance of convenience and take-away options along Canning Highway (Fresh Provisions, Woolworths, Farmer Jacks) several charming local cafes, regular public transport facilities, yacht clubs and of course, the eclectic Port City of Fremantle.
Walking distance to Richmond Primary School and childcare centres.
This is a unique and rare property opportunity steeped in East Fremantle’s coveted history with endless potential to be transformed into something truly magical!
