96 Solomon Street, Fremantle WA 6160

Old World Charm Meets Modern Elegance

Sitting pretty in a slightly elevated position on Solomon Street is this stunning, historical home reminiscent of its Federation Queen Anne architectural origins. Embracing its 1900s characteristics, it’s the quintessential old meets new on one of Fremantle’s most desirable streets.

The front façade showcases a gabled roof made from corrugated iron, decorated with timber finials and features. Below is the wraparound veranda with a beautiful Westerly outlook enjoying glimpses of the Indian Ocean in the distance. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or evening drink at the end of each day, basking in the golden sunset hues.

The timber gate opens onto a neat, paved courtyard, with stairs leading up to the leadlight glass front door and into the entranceway. The grand main bedroom is on the right with an ornate cast iron and timber original fireplace serving as a striking central feature of this room. Double hung sash windows look out towards the tree lined street.

Continue down the hallway under a decorative archway to bedroom two on the left which has solid, twin built-in robes, and through to the light filled open plan lounge, dining and kitchen.

Period features accentuate the character of this home throughout; sweeping high ceilings with ceiling roses, wide skirtings, solid jarrah door frames and original Baltic pine flooring. A gas fireplace sits pride of place in the lounge room with a glazed red brick base.

White stone feature walls lead towards the kitchen which has soft close, glossy white cabinetry (with excellent storage), stone bench tops and a free standing island. An integrated fridge and freezer seamlessly blends into the sleek design, while high quality Miele appliances include a gas stove top with range hood, electric oven and concealed dishwasher.

The luxurious bathroom has spa like qualities; oversized travertine tiles, a floating vanity, and frameless shower screen with rainwater shower head.

The kitchen opens up onto a delightful paved courtyard underneath a timber pergola extending from the roof, adorned with pretty vines and black festoon string lights. Imagine alfresco dining here; the peaceful ambience thanks to the fish pond water feature and garden outlook.

A combination of native, citrus and bay trees border the lush green grass, as well as two raised veggie beds filled with edible delights. There’s a toilet (in its original outhouse), a laundry and outdoor shower - great for washing sandy feet off on those hot, summer months after a nearby beach visit.

Additional features include white plantation shutters on all windows, evaporative air conditioning, solar panels and a large storage attic with drop down ladder. There’s a single cobbled, off street car bay with plenty of extra parking available along the street.

In a brilliant location within walking distance, or a short 5 minute drive to everything Fremantle has to offer, this historical home contributes to Fremantle’s iconic curb appeal and the rich, architectural beauty of this Portside city. There’s so much to tell when it comes to the story of this home, its next chapter eagerly awaiting its new owner.
