3 Maxwell Street, Beaconsfield WA 6162

Cosy Character, Family Haven

Over 100 years ago, a timber and iron cottage was built only 1.2 kilometres from the coast of the historic fishing town of Fremantle. This charming piece of history still enjoys that proximity to the ocean, as well as the vibrant lifestyle that now comes with this fantastic location of Beaconsfield right on the South Fremantle border.

Set back beyond a dreamy cluster of trees, this is a classic piece of revived Fremantle architecture from the pretty painted weatherboard cladding through to the cosy working fireplace inside. Even before stepping foot in the home, a sense of relaxation is experienced upon approach in the front court-yard – a private, serene space under the trees to sit and contemplate life.

Internally, the original atmosphere is retained with wide rustic jarrah boards and exposed timber beams above. The generous bedrooms open up from a central hallway and are at the front of the home, the master bedroom holding a contemporary surprise: a modern ensuite complete with free-standing bathtub for that luxurious touch.

A second bedroom boasts a wall of robes and storage – storage options being a common thread throughout the home.

Currently utilised as a sitting/office room, the third bedroom sits proudly with a roaring fireplace and exposed brick feature wall – absolute heritage homeliness.

Step through the hallway, where an inviting open plan kitchen, living and dining room awaits. Adjacent is a super functional and separate scullery, laundry and storage room with direct access to the back yard. From the main heart of the home, double timber French doors open out and onto the most inviting decked alfresco area, sensitively added to this beautiful home by the current owners. The perfect place to kick back and listen to the birds while you enjoy your morning cup of tea or your evening night cap! Green outdoor garden spaces, signature “Freo” recycled brick paving and limestone garden beds give this home a familiar “Down South” feel while being on the doorstep of South Fremantle.
Paved off-street parking plus a generous storeroom out front are all added bonuses.

It all adds up to irreplaceable character in a great neighbourhood: South Beach in one direction and Fremantle’s centre in the other, and enjoy the bars, cafes, restaurants, concerts, shopping and galleries and that all make this part of the world a wonderful place to live.
