An original limestone exterior, wide jarrah floors, high ceilings, timber skirting boards, charming archway detail, classic fireplaces throughout, ornate ceiling roses, double-hung sash windows and a full width bullnose veranda underscore the boundless potential gleaned from this classic federation-style bungalow-cottage in the highly sought-after Plympton Precinct of East Fremantle.
An inviting entry statement of manicured hedging, offset by turned timber posts and decorative friezes, inspire creative opportunities to transform this historical gem into a head-turning masterpiece.
Adopting the classic cottage layout of three large rooms either side of a central hallway at the front of the home, the extended rear section includes a modest living area and kitchen, along with a “sleepout” and access to a vast back garden, with potential and scope to transform into a tranquil oasis, integrated outdoor living space or your dream vegie garden and orchard – with the inclusion of an original “out-house” and chicken coop.
Blessed with an entirely blank canvas to draw from, the sky’s the limit when it comes to applying a unique personality and style to the design, renovation and layout of this early 1900s home.
Located just a few steps from the iconic George Street community along with its assortment of cafes, bars, boutiques and wellness facilities, there is something very special about this riverside, family-friendly precinct which is adored for its tastefully restored homes in a hamlet steeped in history.
