Historic timber cottage
This charming piece of Fremantle’s history, built in 1895 enjoys proximity to the ocean, as well as the vibrant lifestyle that comes with this fantastic location right on the South Fremantle border.
This classic white-painted weatherboard cottage features wide jarrah floorboards, timber linings and high skirtings. The original atmosphere of this home is still retained.
The two bedrooms are at the front of the home, larger one (currently set up as a living room) encompasses a decorative timber surround to the fireplace and features French doors to the front veranda.
As you pass the bedrooms and step down, you will find the simple white kitchen, where a fabulous old blue Metters stove adds a colourful touch, with air-conditioning for modern comfort. Adjacent is a cosy living space or study plus a blue-and-white bathroom with heated towel rails, and a separate laundry.
A sunroom or dining space leads through to a delightfully sheltered north-facing alfresco with recycled brick paving, limestone garden beds, original brick outdoor loo, and a single garage or workshop/studio at the end of the shared driveway. There is more paved off-street parking out front.
Located towards the quiet west end of the street and set back behind a bountiful olive tree, this home all adds up to irreplaceable character in a great neighbourhood.
Walk to South Beach in one direction and Freo centre in the other. Enjoy the bars, cafés, restaurants, shopping and galleries and that all make this part of the world a wonderful place to live.
