The most uplifting shade of butter-cream cladding against clean white lines and gabled roof detail underscores the delightful exterior of this historic, double-storey federation weatherboard cottage.
Considered one of the most iconic streets within East Fremantle’s enchanting Plympton Ward, the location of this sunny, light-filled residence is where a charming streetscape meets quality dining and boho-chic café culture.
Honouring classic design cues from the early 1900s, restored leadlight details, glossy jarrah floors, high panelled ceilings and decorative cornices complement relaxed, open plan living and a generous wrap-around veranda which maximises a sunny northern aspect, street elevation and serene garden views.
A natural gravitation to the breezy kitchen is in part due to an inviting gas wood fire which warms the entire room, along with generously placed, north-facing windows, luxury finishes and country-chic aesthetics.
Granite benchtops and a large island bench offset classic white cabinetry and quality Miele appliances (oven, 5-burner gas stove & dishwasher), while views to the living area are elevated by exquisitely restored French doors laid in leadlight detail, along with a pretty chandelier and a timber spiral staircase.
Completing this floor is a huge, bright and sunny, coastal-inspired bathroom with tub and a timber, country-style vanity, plus a spacious master suite featuring double doors (and white plantation shutters) to the rear garden; terracotta-style floors and generous built-in-robes, along with access to an ensuite with country-style timber vanity. Connected to the master suite is direct access to a large laundry with a doorway to the rear courtyard (and a concealed drying court).
Another sunny bedroom with glorious leadlight windows and veranda/street views at the front of the home is fitted with custom-built shelving, a desk and built-in-robes – which could easily double as a home study or library option if desired.
Upstairs, two more bright and airy bedrooms - one enjoying rear garden views via French doors to a pretty Juliet balcony - feature loft-style, slanted ceilings, generous mirror-inlaid built-in-robes and split-system air-conditioning units.
The rear garden is akin to an enchanting magical hide-away, with a cosy courtyard revealing a huge, green-studded garden via an attractive archway feature. Loads of easy-care brick paving and garden beds offer the ideal canvas for feature pots, a veggie garden and sunny nooks to read and relax.
Other features include sash windows in living, ceiling fans in bedrooms and kitchen, crisp white interior, and ceiling storage via upstairs bedroom, tandem parking for two-to-three cars, plus a rear lock-up garage or workshop area.
While this home offers plenty to enjoy as is, there is also an opportunity to add significant further value down the track.
For a lifestyle filled with short leisurely strolls to George Street to visit cafes, bakeries, restaurants and designer boutiques, not to mention pilates and allied health professionals, this home offers it all.
Furthermore, East Fremantle kindy, Glasson Park and East Fremantle Primary School are mere steps away, along with the river and all its breathtaking walking and cycle paths, bars, cafes and yacht clubs, is at the end of the street; several shopping villages and supermarkets just minutes away, while Port Beach and Fremantle central are just a quick bike-ride away.
