87 Fitzgerald Street, Geraldton WA 6530

This is so much more than just another house. Can you even imagine what it took to build such a home in 1890? Remember that this was before the days of motorised vehicles so even the job of carting the stone from White Peak to the site would have been massive. 87 Fitzgerald Street is a beautiful example of a federation style home that has been lovingly maintained and improved over the years and during all that time, the key features that make it so special have been kept. The main construction is white peak stone and there would be few finer examples than this one. The ornate timber work, gables and verandahs make this exceptionally appealing from the road and this follows through to the inside as well. The ceilings are 12 foot (3.65 metres) with decorative cornices and ceiling roses, the floors are all Oregon and the bathroom even has a traditional claw foot bath. The main home comprises 4 very large bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a very, very spacious main living and kitchen area with a fireplace, so fitting in your furniture should be a breeze.

Alongside the home is a matching double garage with auto doors and room for an extra car as well. Behind that is a separate room with the setup as a bedsit and includes a toilet and basin so conversion to a flat could be quite simple. The back yard is nice and secure and has plenty of room for the family pet and the kids.

The location is also an exciting one. Just one house away is the original Geraldton Primary School that is a real picture and it is only a 500m walk from your front door down to the Geraldton foreshore, restaurants, cinema, gym, hotels and all you would expect to find in a CBD area. Fitzgerald Street is lined with iconic Norfolk Pines that are such a feature in our port city and add to what is so special about 87 Fitzgerald Street. What you are buying here is more than just a beautiful home: it is part of our history and has stood the test of time.
