Heritage Beauty With Charming Street Appeal
With a charming limestone and brick heritage facade in one of South Fremantle’s most sought after streets, just two blocks back from South beach and walking distance to everything the South Fremantle lifestyle offers, this extended heritage beauty with below ground swimming pool, is a rare offering.
The most charming Mediterranean style garden, framed in natural-cut limestone, adorned in citrus, olive and bamboo and anchored by a free-form swimming pool, will take the breath away of anyone who visits this heritage beauty full of hidden treats and subtle gothic aesthetics.
A top floor turret overlooking South Fremantle’s rooftops, spectacular leadlight details, exposed beams, decorative arches and bare brick and limestone are the iconic style cues of local designer & builder Andy Zubowicz who once resided at this home with his family.
Original jarrah floors, high ceilings, oversized bedrooms and classic bull-nose verandas nod to the property’s (circa) 1903 heritage.
Rows of tastefully restored period homes add to the enchanting street appeal of this residence which is ideally located just metres from South Beach, South Terrace’s abundant cafés, bars and wellness studios, and convenience options galore.
Three grand bedrooms with high ceilings and over-sized windows, two with original fireplaces, the third with ensuite, lead to a vastly spacious open plan living, kitchen and dining with garden and veranda access, and impressive brick and limestone appointments.
An inviting country-style kitchen is offset by a free-standing 5-burner (GLEM) oven, enclosed within an arched fireplace featuring all those wonderful, (temperature moderating) brick and limestone highlights repeated throughout the home.
As an added option for either a formal dining room, study or theatre room, is an intimate limestone-clad enclave off the living area; also within this zone is an additional bedroom with bespoke leadlight features (including a colourful skylight) and a discreet ensuite bathroom.
A grand jarrah staircase reveals a glorious circular leadlight feature at its landing before opening to an upper floor loft-style retreat with a private balcony and access (via a man-hole) to the top floor turret.
The possibilities for this light-filled sanctuary are endless – a yoga room, bedroom, study or TV room – and the perfect hideaway for kids or visiting grandkids to play and enjoy sleep-overs!
Other features include a generous side carport (with decorative wrought-iron gate and pitched roof) to accommodate at least three vehicles (tandem) plus a caravan, along with a rear workshop, an extra light-filled bathroom with a free-standing, claw-tooth bathtub and direct garden access for post-poolside showering, plus a generous laundry.
The convenience of (brick paved) ramp access at the front gate and rear verandas is an excellent addition for prams, trolleys or wheelchairs.
Gardens are fully reticulated, and there is a split system air conditioning unit in the main living area, along with a gas bayonet.
Beaconsfield Primary School, a regular CAT bus service and the very best of Fremantle, are all within walking distance from this unique and centrally located home.
