With excellent schools just a block away, and the Fremantle Cappuccino Strip, George Street precinct, Arts Centre, Leisure Centre, parks, river and beach all within easy reach, the location is exceptional.

Originally built in 1903 for a mounted police officer renowned for discovering the body of CY O’Connor, the home has been thoughtfully extended and carefully updated to combine its rich heritage with modern comforts and sustainable living.

Inside, soaring 3.3m ceilings, beautifully restored jarrah floors, original timber doors and Zero VOC finishes create a light, calming atmosphere. Two oversized north-facing bedrooms feature plantation shutters and ceiling fans, while the magnificent main bedroom enjoys a faceted bay window and adjoining versatile space ideal for a dressing room, home office or yoga retreat.

Designed for relaxed living and entertaining, the home features a generous central dining room, cosy light-filled living area and expansive covered alfresco deck overlooking tiered gardens filled with magnolias, lavender, herbs and vegetables. The inviting galley kitchen offers solid timber cabinetry, generous benchtops, a walk-in pantry, Miele dishwasher and new Smeg electric oven and induction cooktop. A classic bathroom features a bathtub nestled within a beautiful coloured glass bay window, separate shower and extended vanity.

Completing the home is a double garage, lock-up storeroom and third parking bay accessed from Girton Lane. Modern upgrades include Daikin split-system air-conditioning, LED lighting, a Reclaim heat pump hot water system, CCTV security, updated plumbing and electricals, three-phase power and FTTP NBN.
