Mint Real Estate - East Fremantle
CHARMING RIVERSIDE COTTAGE
The circa-1950s character of this impressively-renovated street-front home remains firmly intact as it offers private modern living and entertaining despite its commanding position, so close to the stunning Blackwall Reach Reserve, Point Walter Golf Course, the lush Bicton Quarantine Park and even East Fremantle Yacht Club - all overlooking our picturesque Swan River.
There is even the unique bonus of both river and ocean views from your front driveway, before you step foot inside the property. The splendid north-facing front yard is securely gated for peace of mind and plays host to sprawling green lawns and a fabulous outdoor alfresco-entertaining area - stone kitchen, wok burner, ceiling fan, space for bar fridges and all. There is even a gas bayonet for summer barbecues.
Both double and single doors link the covered retreat to a welcoming open-plan living and dining area where you are first introduced to solid wooden Jarrah floorboards that are commonplace throughout the house. There is also a Wi-Fi-controlled Haiku fan (also found in the master bedroom) and split-system air-conditioning for all-seasons' comfort.
Around the corner, the updated kitchen comes well-equipped with an Induction cooktop, an under-bench oven, an integrated microwave, an integrated range hood, a stainless-steel Westinghouse dishwasher, tiled splashbacks and a breakfast bar for casual meals. The sleeping quarters are separate and are headlined by a front master bedroom with full wall-to-floor-ceiling built-in wardrobes, as well as a pleasant northern aspect to wake up to.
Both the second and third bedrooms have their own fans and buit-in robes too, whilst a brand-new revamped bathroom boasts a rain shower, a separate bathtub, a skylight, mirrored storage and twin vanities to reduce traffic at family peak-hour. There is also ample hallway storage, a new toilet (with more storage), a light, bright and newly-renovated laundry - with extra storage of its own - and a fourth bedroom with split-system air-conditioning, off the spacious rear sunroom that doubles as either a games room or home office with further built-in storage and access out to the sunken backyard.
The rear of the property also features a powered workshop shed with secure pin-code access, a remote-controlled roller door and custom shelving. Out front, the remote-controlled double lock-up carport is also nice and secure and comprises of mezzanine storage for all of those things you want out of sight, but not necessarily out of mind.
Also nearby are cafes, restaurants, prestigious sporting clubs, shopping centres, excellent public-transport options and wonderful schools - Santa Maria College and Bicton Primary School amongst them. As far as locations go, it doesn't get much better than this!
