86 Holland Street, Fremantle WA 6160

History and north-facing potential in wonderful neighbourhood

This is classic character home in a brilliant location: surrounded by parks, a stroll to George Street restaurants and shopping, desirable local schools close by and a peaceful environment, but minutes from the centre of town. Richly layered in heritage, this is a welcoming family neighbourhood, especially in a no-through road where kids can play in the street. High triple windows, fireplaces and jarrah floors all carry the history of the home, with great potential to add value over time.

There’s a pretty pink flowering gum on the verge, paved courtyard gardens out front, and an elevated veranda to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. Inside, the central hallway features 30’s decorative timber, and jarrah floors flow throughout. The design of the tall sets of original windows everywhere is a real feature, emphasising the high ceilings. Three bedrooms have fireplaces and fans; two with built-in robes and one ideal for an office. The lounge is a delightful room: an original timber fireplace surround with cool curvy timber detailing, picture rails and more high windows. Through an arch at the end of the hallway is a simple dine-in kitchen, a walk-in storage space, and a bathroom complete with retro tiling. A jarrah-floored room to the side is a flexible area, and the laundry leads through to the backyard: fenced, north-facing, and a blank canvas.

And, there's an incredible opportunity to open up the rear of the home to create an open plan kitchen living and dining area that makes the most of the northern exposure.

A gate leads to the long side driveway and single garage or workshop.

Walk through the underpass to East Fremantle Primary, John Curtin and George Street, pop over to East Fremantle shopping, or head to South Freo and the beach. Character, plus location, plus even more potential – that’s a winning combination.
