Fremantle WA 6160

The simple symmetry of early 20th century Fremantle architecture endures in this timber and iron cottage: an elevated bullnose veranda with a central front door framed by colourful fanlights and balanced by double-hung sash windows on either side. It’s a classic: pretty, peaceful, and sitting in serene seclusion behind a recycled brick wall. This is an achievable opportunity to live in an atmospheric historic home in a welcoming community neighbourhood close to central Fremantle and the George Street precinct.

Floors of jarrah and Oregon, timber trusses, painted timber dados and exposed brick features all add texture and personality. The rooms are big, light and airy, giving a sense of surprising spaciousness that’s unusual in a cottage of the era, and the separate large lounge area also offers more room to move. The air-conditioned open plan kitchen and dining combines function and character, with timber-topped white cabinetry, freestanding island bench and stainless-steel stove. Relaxation and entertaining flow out to the back garden, where a separate brick building houses the laundry and utility space.

Opening up to the breezes is easy, with security screen doors front and back; there are ceiling fans in the bedrooms; a drop-down ladder gives access to attic storage, and an automatic gate leads to off-street parking. It’s secure for children to play, with the great bonus of the vast green space of East Freo oval over the road for burning extra energy.

Walk to local cafes, stroll to George Street restaurants and shopping, and enjoy the proximity to the river, central Fremantle, East Fremantle Primary and John Curtin College of the Arts. Come and experience the atmosphere of this delightful cottage - a real gem in a prized location.
