Carol's Cottage - lemons and limes and all things sublime
Experience the timeless allure of this historic home which captures the essence of yesteryear enhanced with today's contemporary comforts. Situated within 500 metres walking distance to South Beach and Fremantle Sailing Club, and just 100 metres from South Terrace's famous Arnott's Mills and Wares Biscuit Factory, this character 1900s cottage with front and back yard space, and full front verandah, is an absolute charmer.
Painted yellow, with timber architraves, doorframes, and French mullioned doors, this cute character cottage offers a blank canvas for you to re-imagine and introduce your own style.
Setback and fenced off from Jenkin Street, well-loved for its eclectic front gardens, street trees, and bird life, this delightful home features a large front courtyard with a full-sized lemon tree bearing fruit to share with neighbours, a simple classic garden featuring hibiscus, geraniums and agapanthus, a verge veggie garden, bottlebrush tree, and room for two cars off street parking.
Enter via the front verandah with iron lace, through original turn of the century doors with frosted glass features, and into the central hallway treading the polished Jarrah floorboards to the north-facing dining room, kitchen, second bedroom and back courtyard which captures dappled morning light.
Fall in love with its simple vintage charm and old-fashioned feel, embellished with brass switches, sash windows, a fireplace in the loungeroom and a Metter's wood fired stove in the kitchen. A little TLC would go a long way to enhancing the existing property and there's opportunity to extend up S.T.C.A. to seek potential ocean glimpses.
The king-sized lounge room and master bedroom at the front of the property feature charming bay windows with an outlook to private, pretty gardens.
The master bedroom is huge and features built in mirrored robes with ensuite access to the federation style bathroom and laundry with terracotta tiles.
Ambient, natural light floods the North facing rear courtyard which is private and perfect for entertaining. With high limestone walls and a Mediterranean feel you'll spend many hours here, enjoying quietude and relaxation.
The small storeroom out back could make a useful office with a bit of work and imagination.
This rare South Fremantle character cottage has everything you need to thrive in.
Location is perfect! Stroll to the vibrant street life of South Terrace, cafes, restaurants, bars and galleries...everything imaginable so close.
Begin and end your day with a swim and sunset at South Beach. Paradise for beloved family pets too.
