SOLD by Linda Digby
48 King Street known as "Hepburn", is one of a small cluster of charming limestone terraces, in the heart of the prime Plympton Ward.
With a charming bull-nose veranda, this picture-perfect three bedroom turn-of-the-century home offers an outstanding community lifestyle on the doorstep of East Fremantle's popular and vibrant George Street hub.
In the seller's words, "I fell instantly in love with this house the first time I saw it 35 years ago. I was attracted to the frontage, then the beauty of the inside. When children came into my life, I felt the need for more room, so I had the upstairs extension built. This complements the wood downstairs while capturing the Winter sun".
Beautifully maintained, enhanced and loved by the same owner for all these years, this home is a true treasure. The entrance offers an elegant arched hallway leading past two substantial bedrooms, to the central lounge room. With wonderful integrity, the home boasts endless features of the era, including several fireplaces, large sash windows, high decorative ceilings, and wide timber floorboards.
The delightful kitchen / dining area provides an intimate setting with attractive wood bench tops and sweet timber-framed windows overlooking the courtyard.
The upper addition resembles a private retreat, a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. The third bedroom is located here, and a second living area extends out to a decked balcony. From here you can enjoy a wonderful outlook over leafy treetops and the historic Royal George Hotel.
From this desirable location, it's only a short stroll to the river foreshore, numerous cafes and restaurants, wine bars and of course, the dazzling Duke of George for blues and jazz evenings. Also, in the catchment for East Fremantle Primary and John Curtin Collage of the Arts. The choices are endless and it's all on your doorstep.
