Heritage Cottage on Wray Avenue
This is one of Fremantle' s iconic timber cottages on an iconic street - Wray Avenue. It's on the doorstep of the Wray Avenue precinct, and within walking distance of Fremantle Central and South Fremantle.
Set back from the road, with a private front garden, this home is beautifully proportioned with a deep front verandah and grand entry door with glass side-lights. The two front-facing sash windows are large and grand with glass side panels.
The period features continue throughout the home with wide timber floorboards, high ceilings with feature plaster work, and a pressed tin ceiling in the kitchen. There are three original fire places with timber mantels, one of the bedrooms has a particularly fine one. Both bedrooms are a good size with excellent built in robes and one has a
beautiful window overlooking the front garden.
Whilst the home is a great period cottage, it doesn't fall short of modern conveniences. The bathroom and kitchen have been fully refurbished. The galley-style kitchen with Ceasar stone bench tops, Smeg induction cooktop and Smeg oven, along with an integrated dishwasher. This has all been sensitively built around the original Metters stove and chimney breast. The bathroom is a cool mix of old and new with smart bathroom fittings, free standing oval bath, oversized corner shower and a separate toilet incorporating the original weatherboards.
At the rear of the home is the ideal indoor /outdoor entertaining area. With a bank of aluminium plantation shutters that can fully enclose the area for privacy and warmth, or be fully opened to capture the breeze and enjoy the extended deck area, this verandah room is comfortable all year round.
With a big double garage and plenty of storage, plus a small rear garden this really is the full package.

• Reverse-cycle ducted airconditioning throughout
