The location is set in stone and the ocean views over the harbour and trees towards Rottnest Island will remain for a long time to come, so what you decide to do next to this charming 4 bedroom 2 bathroom century-old Fremantle home is totally up to you.
There is plenty of scope to renovate and add your own modern personal touches throughout here, with one of the drawcards of the floor plan being the carpeted rear fourth bedroom – or studio – that is accessible from the backyard and can easily be converted into an office, gym or potential Airbnb-style short-stay accommodation. It also sits opposite a separate laundry-come-second bathroom with a shower and double throughs for either washing clothes or pampering yourself.
Also outdoors is an under-cover alfresco alcove for sitting and quiet contemplation while you absorb the cooling Fremantle Doctor sea breezes in the afternoon, as well as a separate toilet/outhouse within what can only be considered as a “blank canvas” of a yard where a future swimming pool certainly wouldn’t look out of place. Double driveway gates reveal a single lock-up garage with front and rear roller doors – the latter affording you drive-through access for extra parking.
Inside, high ceilings, solid wooden floorboards, skirting boards and decorative cornices are commonplace throughout, with a feature ceiling in the separate lounge/living room only adding to the property’s original character of yesteryear. From here, double sliders connect to a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area with the best slice of the vista, a gas bayonet for heating, tiled flooring, double sinks, a Chef electric-upright cooker and access out to the back verandah, overlooking it all.
Stroll to the lush Stevens Reserve around the corner, the Fremantle War Memorial and parklands at the top of the street and bus stops, with the likes of Fremantle Primary School, John Curtin College of the Arts, Fremantle Golf Course, medical facilities, restaurants, the cappuccino strip, bars, nightclubs, entertainment hotspots, the harbour, beaches and The University of Notre Dame all nearby and within touching distance. With lifestyle comes opportunity – and this classic “Freo” residence is no different!
