8 Wright Street, White Gum Valley WA 6162

This beautifully preserved and extended workers' cottage offers buyers an enviable opportunity to secure a century-old slice of Fremantle history. Positioned in a leafy, peaceful pocket of White Gum Valley, the home retains many original features such as the Baltic pine floorboards, soaring ceilings, sash windows and ornate fireplaces.

This circa 1913 cottage is immediately welcoming, with limestone and tuck-pointed red brick, an iron roof and bullnose veranda, and leadlight entry. The white picket fence frames charming cottage gardens featuring roses and lavender, and it's one of the few homes in the area with private off-street parking for two cars.

In the original dwelling you'll find two generous bedrooms with built-in robes and one with a decorative fireplace and white Venetian blinds adorning timber sash windows.

In the lounge room sits a functional gas fireplace and an ornate ceiling rose with a stylish wicker pendant light - this cosy space will be a comfortable entertaining room, as well as the perfect spot to curl up with a book.

Step down to the home's light-filled extension and be impressed by the fully-tiled contemporary bathroom which was renovated in 2015. It features a combination bath and shower, WC and conveniently concealed French laundry.

The kitchen is appointed with timber tops, a double butler's sink, and fresh white subway-tiled splashbacks. A suite of quality Miele appliances will make catering a breeze, including an electric under-bench oven, gas cooktop and a dishwasher.

A mezzanine level above with a jarrah and wrought iron staircase, brings versatility to the home. Set beneath a stunning cathedral ceiling with painted timber trusses, it will make an ideal home office space, third bedroom, or extra activity area.

French doors with security screens lead outside to the timber veranda and rear gardens, with the perfect amount of lawn garden beds to keep kids and pets happy . The combination of limestone steps, rustic brick paving, citrus trees and herb planters result in an easy-care outdoor space you'll love.

You'll appreciate the friendly and caring neighbours and the strong sense of community that comes with living in this private and close-knit enclave. Enjoy getting to know local families at inclusive events such as the annual Christmas party and Easter egg hunt on neighbouring Pilbara Street. Within minutes you'll walk from this tranquil and family-friendly location into Fremantle's pulsing dining, entertainment and cultural mecca.

White Gum Valley Primary School and Fremantle College are both a leisurely stroll away, as are Bruce Lee Oval and picturesque Booyeembarra Park.
