A pretty tuck-pointed exterior is offset by a classic wrap around front verandah where ornate lead-light windows set the scene for this federation-influenced interior in the heart of East Fremantle.
Original wide jarrah floorboards, high ceilings, picture rails, arched hallway and traditional windows have been preserved to provide the perfect entry statement into this charming home. Up the steps to the front veranda, the leadlight front door opens to a wide central hall with curved archway. The three generously sized bedrooms all open from here, one featuring an original fireplace. The sizable formal living room is spacious enough for the whole family and includes an ornate fireplace with jarrah mantlepiece to complete the charm.
The rear zone includes a light-filled kitchen with custom timber cabinetry in neutral tones teamed with stainless steel appliances. A spacious dining room adjoins and opens to the outdoors. The large covered alfresco area allows for dining and living with room for the BBQ allowing for year-round indoor/outdoor entertaining.
The rear garden includes lawns, mature planting and rainwater tank and provides a relatively blank canvas of opportunity to create further improvements.
With ample off-street parking there is a covered carport for one vehicle, with space for an extra car behind along with room for 1-2 cars at the front. With a wide driveway there is plenty of room to turn so you can drive out forwards.
Enjoy the benefits of being located less just a 10 minute walk to the river and a 5 minute drive 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 City of Fremantle.
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!
