Beautiful Heritage Limestone Semi
Long, grand limestone cottages are the housing jewels of Fremantle's heritage - and if you love character homes and living in the heart of a unique, beachside city - then this is the house for you.
This 1900s heritage listed limestone semi has the classic, elegant hallway with two super-sized bedrooms to the front, each with very large built-in robes. The hall leads to the cosy, central lounge which has a comfortable connection to the kitchen and dining room. There are several heritage cottages in Fremantle that follow this layout, but this one is rare in that the ceilings are exceptionally high and the hall is extra-wide. The rooms are beautifully proportioned throughout so that the home has an exceptional sense of spaciousness.
The cottage has wide jarrah floorboards, feature plaster cornicing and ceiling roses, timber casement and sash windows, and an original stone hearth in the kitchen. The kitchen has been refitted with a central island bench and breakfast bar, pantry, wine rack and plenty of cupboards and bench space. To the back of the home further refurbishment includes a smart, white-tiled bathroom and a large and useful laundry room with storage space and toilet.
Out the back is a great undercover patio area with recycled brick paving. A winding path runs through a long and slender garden which presents enormous potential to create something very special to further enhance this classic heritage home.
At the very end of the garden is a second toilet in the original outhouse. Through the back gate is not one, but two parking bays - now that really is rare!
68 South Street puts you close to the very best of South Fremantle and Fremantle Central. You will be close to cafes and restaurants, the beach is minutes away, and there is transport right outside the front door.
Don't miss this one - it won't last!
Further features include:
- Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning
- Gas cooktop and electric oven
