Cascading down one of Fremantle's prettiest streets is a rare and intact row of 1886 terrace houses: their stone and tuck-pointed brick, iron lacework and bullnose verandahs present a fine example of the enduring architecture of the gold boom era.
Number 24 retains its original charm, with the advantages of abundant natural light, modern and stylish soft grey kitchen with gold accents, north-facing living and rear access to double garaging, plus a separate studio with build in queen Murphy bed with storage and its own bathroom and wine cellar.
Walk down the hill to the markets, restaurants and the train station and come home to quiet, privacy and comfort within the thick stone walls of this historic home.
A decorative iron gate leads to the entry path with original tiling, and across the jarrah verandah the home opens to the traditional hallway with decorative arch.
The generous front bedroom has a double-hung sash windows overlooking the verandah, high ceilings with ceiling rose and a jarrah fireplace with cast-iron insert. Another bedroom features built-in jarrah wardrobes on either side of the fireplace and a northern window with a pretty courtyard aspect.
The hallway opens out to a lovely sitting room with a romantic gas fireplace and beyond is the stunning new kitchen with integrated double fridge, freezer and dishwasher and fabulous dining corner with the prime seating positioned to enjoy the delightful internal courtyard light and access.
There's a large laundry with a wall of storage and a white bathroom with bath and skylight.
The surprises continue as the home opens to another sunny living space, north-facing, with large Velux skylights, louvres for cross-ventilation and a wall of glass with concertina doors opening to the rear courtyard.
Down the recycled brick path with its wall of climbing greenery is an air-conditioned, rendered brick studio with jarrah floors, lime-washed timber ceilings, its own bathroom and stairs leading down to a high-ceilinged wine cellar. This is a very flexible space with the opportunity for independent accommodation. The double garage has rear access, workshop bench space and loft storage.
Thoughtfully renovated and extended, with its historic charm completely retained, this is a fine example of a classic early Fremantle stone home - serene, peaceful and private, but with all the advantages of urban living in a wonderfully walkable location.
