5 Lilly Street, South Fremantle WA 6162

Hand-carved antique timber doors, bolstered by an inviting limestone path and moody dark render reveal a magical retreat from within this restored, heritage home. Built in 1900 along a charming historical streetscape, this clever renovation honours original high ceilings against white-washed walls, rustic timbers, and nautical reminders. Dual French doors to a sunny courtyard diffuse the interior with natural light.

Named after James Lilly who managed the Adelaide Steamship Company from 1886 to 1889, Lilly Street – flanked by adorable stone cottages and just steps from the popular South Terrace lifestyle strip, is one of many coveted jewels within South Fremantle’s eclectic seaside community.

An inviting atrium-style entrance casts warm natural light throughout the ground floor.

Met by a designer kitchen, clad in chic, sage green cabinetry, timber benchtops and a funky metallic mosaic splashback, the adjoining dining room opens to a provincial-style courtyard & decking via untreated French timber doors.

Set at the front of the home with independent street access and a protected veranda, the secondary bedroom is the perfect option for guests to enjoy privacy or a study space to admire street activities beyond.

Built-in robes, stunning wide oak floors, original sash windows and a modern ceiling fan complete this functional sanctuary.

Enjoying the best of the northern light, the step-down living room at the rear of the home shares enchanting courtyard views via more French doors. A continuation of honeyed oak floors, surrounding French casement windows and a vast wall cabinet make this one of the most alluring spaces in the home.

Also on this floor is a generous bathroom with a timber vanity, tub and European laundry.

Upstairs, the rear addition celebrates a nautical aesthetic of coved and slanted white-panelled ceilings alongside rich timbers.

On the landing level, ocean glimpses can be admired from the bathroom where pearlescent mosaic benchtops bring coastal appeal and beach house style.

A few steps up, the master suite, surrounded by windows on all walls, and an elevated coved ceiling, sits high above the treetops like a watchtower. French doors to a Juliet balcony, jarrah floors, split system air-conditioning, block-out blinds and built-in robes make this the ultimate, top-floor hideaway.

Other features include a rare, single lock-up garage with shopper’s entry, gas bayonet in the living room, split system air-conditioning in the dining room, security mesh on front sash windows and locks on remaining windows, a 5-burner gas stove & Euro oven in kitchen and easy care garden beds.

Located just 350 metres from the vibrant South Terrace lifestyle strip, and walking distance to local primary schools, grocers, South Beach, and public transport, this enigmatic home offers volumes of carefree living in the heart of South Freo, while enjoying the benefits of a low-maintenance, secure and perfectly placed allotment.
