Open the front door each morning and sip coffee on your front veranda to an uplifting view across the iconic Fremantle Port, Swan River and beyond.

Proudly sitting high above street level on an elevated 508sqm hillside block, this charming character home has a delightful exterior, a wonderfully warm and welcoming feel, light-filled rooms and a breathtaking cottage garden with studio out the back.

An ideal home for a couple or young family, the location is enviable. Walk or cycle along the river, pop to Leighton Beach, meander to the Tradewinds Hotel, Beach St Co, the Left Bank or Dome, or stroll to the Fremantle cappuccino strip for dinner - this is a lifestyle location for sure.

You will be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining, cafes, amenities and stores around here, with popular local icons including Young George, La Lune, Floral Army, Ethos, Little Fire, Duke of George, Salsa Rossa and Glasson Park.

A Federation period house adapted in the 1950s, the home has a tall flight of steps to its original front veranda, a perfect spot to relax. A gracious hallway sets the classic tone for the interiors, with polished jarrah floors, fresh white walls and pretty ceiling details.

A spacious family room at the front of the home offers views across the neighbourhood. One of the loveliest things about this home is its great natural light - each room is bright and airy, even the laundry.

There are three light-filled, good-sized bedrooms, the main at the front with glimpses of the river. The bathroom will delight vintage fans; in almost original condition, it has retro pink and black tiling, pink tub, window shaving cabinet and striking geometric floor tile. There is a glass-fronted shower and plenty of storage in the timber vanity. Near the kitchen, the hallway has enough space for a study desk and storage.

Bright and cheerful, the north-facing kitchen and dining has a warm and cheerful feel with timber cabinetry, a vintage Royce & Royce butcherblock and stunning patterned original terrazzo tile floor. If your idea of a happy home is one with a nostalgic feel, where the best conversations always happen at the kitchen table, this home is for you. The kitchen has a four burner gas cooktop, Electrolux Pyroluxe oven and dishwasher.

The back of the home offers a cosy second living space, which could also be used as a home office or playroom. There is a large, bright laundry with antique concrete wash basin and a separate toilet.

The back garden is an absolute delight, a lovingly looked-after cottage garden with winding stone paths and full of roses and other flowers. Relax and entertain on the covered back patio with timber decking while the kids play on the lawn and explore the garden. There is a large powered studio in the back garden with its own deck, a perfect spot for an art or yoga studio, gym or for a playroom.

The home maintains its original thick limestone foundation walls, which encompass a single garage with mezzanine storage attic and also provide substantial cellar storage. These spaces can be accessed from a ladder in the garage, as well as via a trapdoor in the hallway. There is split system air-conditioning.
