Meandering paths hug a variety of citrus trees, and the local native flora attracts an abundance of bird life. Further into the garden, there is a productive vegetable patch and an outhouse which contains the laundry and additional storage space.
In the sellers' words: 'I love the high ceilings and thick limestone walls that keep the heat at bay during summer, and the east-west orientation; a perfect breezeway for the cooling Freo Doctor. The one-way street is surprisingly quiet, parking is readily available and it's a charming short walk into Fremantle. I love sitting in the garden reading with a cup of tea or just watching the plentiful bird life. I love the proximity to Luna On SX cinema; meeting my movie buddy and then having a bite to eat to discuss the film. Great neighbours, people look out for each other, it can be as social as you want with impromptu neighbourly gatherings, community street party, and family friendly'.
Offering a comfortable Fremantle lifestyle as is, the property also presents opportunities to renovate, or extend, with scope to add a studio or ancillary accommodation with convenient rear pedestrian access.
Whether you travel by foot, push bike or car, this friendly and sought-after community is all about easy accessibility and a unique coastal lifestyle in Fremantle's heart.
