57 Oakover Street, East Fremantle WA 6158

1930s character, works like a charm

Life in a leafy East Fremantle street unfolds beautifully in this 1930s home in the prestigious Woodside Ward. Relax on your front veranda and enjoy the shady gardens, or make the most of the indoor-outdoor entertaining space that flows to the deck at the rear. Very spacious bedrooms and high ceilings create a sense of airy space, and jarrah floors continue throughout in a home that is a seamless combination of the traditional and the contemporary. It’s a serene location in a quiet street, yet close to everything you need: shopping, primary school, parks and the river, with central Fremantle just down the road.

A white picket fence and tuck-pointed brick exterior present the classic façade, and the leadlight door opens to a wide entry hall. Two large bedrooms look out to the veranda and garden through tall double-hung sash windows, and a third, equally spacious bedroom has its own leafy outlook and is flooded with northern light. All bedrooms have built-in-robes.

Opening out from the hallway, the generous living room is an inviting space to gather, with the comfort of air-conditioning and a gas log fire. Beyond is the open-plan kitchen and dining, where the modern kitchen features a big five-burner range, dishwasher and plenty of cabinetry, with the excellent storage that is a real feature of this home. Dine and entertain indoors or out, as the space opens up to the deck and cottage garden, where the kids can clamber up the timber cubby.

With neutral modern décor, the bathroom has a double vanity, bath and separate toilet, with the spacious laundry adjacent. There’s a weatherboard storeroom, and wide access down both sides of the home, including a garden space to the south with room for a lap pool. The gardens are productive too, including apples, lemons, cumquats and oranges, with reticulation from a bore.

The quiet streets of this sought-after neighbourhood have a feeling of real community, lined with historic homes and full of trees and birdsong. It’s a wonderful place to live.
