83 Marmion Street, Fremantle WA 6160

Classic Freo style & close to everything

Behind a high limestone wall, a pretty weatherboard and iron home from 1913 presents its classic façade: north-facing veranda and central leadlight door framed by two pairs of double-hung sash windows. That Freo-chic cottage atmosphere continues inside in terms of style, along with all the advantages of an interior update and rear extension.An open-plan living flows to an outdoor ‘room’ and secure garaging at the rear. Such a rarity in this sought-after area, the spacious 2-car garage is accessible via a remote-controlled gate. Large enough for two family cars and plenty of room to move, plus storage, it’s a feature you will love. Opposite is the green open space of the oval with Locke Park beyond, cafés, restaurants, the iconic George Street in East Freo, and the river just a short walk away.

Inside, the floors are Oregon and jarrah timbers, and white-painted timber panelling lines the walls and ceiling of the hallway. That panelling continues in the front bedroom, which welcomes the northern light and looks out to the veranda and courtyard garden. All the bedrooms are air-conditioned, including one with a wall of built-in-robes, and the third bedroom is secluded at the rear of the home. The bathroom has been renewed in natural tones with premium quality tiling, and features a big rectangular bath.

Running the length of the home is the air-conditioned open-plan kitchen, dining and living, with jarrah floors and northern light through the original double windows. A generous island bench in engineered stone is the central gathering point of the smartly designed kitchen, with subway tiling, stainless steel dishwasher and five-burner cooktop. Timber double doors open to a sheltered outdoor ‘room’, with timber decking and plantation shutters. Beyond is a flourishing olive tree, and the double garage is accessed through automatic gates.

Security and privacy is a real feature of this charming home, with a tall timber and steel gate in the high limestone wall. The veranda is perfect for soaking up the northern sun, and the front courtyard, with stone paving, lawn and a pizza oven, is a lovely place to gather.

East Fremantle Primary and John Curtin are nearby, and you can enjoy the warm community atmosphere of this welcoming neighbourhood with George Street and the river are a walk away and the centre of Fremantle only minutes by car.
