From the historic street presence of limestone and brick, right through to the mulberry tree at the bottom of the garden, this is a Fremantle classic full of charm and tranquillity. Perfectly placed at the western end of Samson Street, the block has the advantage of dual street access, flowing to Yilgarn Street at the rear. It's also very elevated here, up on the rise by the Fremantle border, so imagine the ocean views from a possible second storey. Though there's plenty of space to enjoy already, with four bedrooms, original living room plus open plan living, and a big, beautifully landscaped backyard.

Built in the early 20th century, the home retains its character and incorporates some creative contemporary features, including ornate wrought iron window screens so you can open up for the breezes. Enter to the high-ceilinged hallway, spanned by two large jarrah-floored bedrooms looking to the veranda, and a third spacious bedroom beyond, all with wardrobe storage. A fireplace warms the original living room, which opens up to the kitchen, living and dining. White-painted rubble stone walls reveal the textures of the building, and the kitchen features butler's sinks, handmade Italian tile splashbacks, white engineered stone tops, and a breakfast bar in 100-year-old Baltic pine. Floors are cool concrete tiling framed in jarrah, a raked ceiling rises to high northern windows, and doors stack open to paved outdoor dining. That feeling of light and garden connection continues in the master suite, with precious leadlights, extensive cabinetry, and bifolds to the outdoors.

Low limestone walls frame the outdoor dining area, where a mural by artist Mikaela Miller adds vibrant colour. Through a honeysuckle arch the garden unfolds: a stretch of lawn, Gascoyne stone, jarrah-framed garden beds, an orchard's worth of fruit trees, and a rainwater tank. A stone garage opens to Yilgarn Street and a pebbled gathering space on the verge where the neighbours can get together around the firepit and look across to the slice of ocean on the horizon.

Stroll around the corner to Wray Avenue shopping and cafes, walk downtown or cycle to the beach. This is an excellent position, where history, creativity and green seclusion give this home a special atmosphere.
