North Fremantle WA 6159

Stroll home from the river or dinner with friends to this delightful limestone and brick character home, positioned on one of North Fremantle's most sought-after streets just moments from the water's edge.

An original worker's cottage believed to date back to the 1910s, this heritage-listed residence is a timeless example of Federation Queen Anne architecture. Beautifully preserved original features include a tuckpointed façade, double-hung sash windows, tall ornate skirtings, soaring ceilings, antique timber doors and original fireplace surrounds.

Long regarded as one of North Fremantle's prettiest and most desirable addresses, the area is loved for its leafy verges, collection of heritage homes and enviable proximity to both the river and beach.

From here, enjoy an easy stroll to the village atmosphere of Queen Victoria Street, home to some of North Fremantle's most popular cafés, restaurants and entertainment including Mojo's, Mrs Brown Bar, Flipside Burgers, Piggy Food Co, Ooh Coffee and Bruce Town. The home is also within walking distance of North Fremantle Primary School, childcare facilities, playgrounds, public transport and the North Fremantle Social Farm, while Leighton Beach and the vibrant Fremantle Cappuccino Strip are just a short drive or bike ride away.

Positioned on the elevated side of the road, the home enjoys a lovely street presence. Concrete steps lead to a generously sized front veranda, the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee while watching the neighbourhood go by.

The original entry, complete with classic front door and coloured glass windows, opens to a light-filled hallway with a beautiful outlook through to the lush rear garden. Three spacious original bedrooms branch from the hallway. The two front bedrooms feature twin sash windows overlooking the front garden, while the third enjoys lovely eastern light. All are generously proportioned, with two retaining their original chimneys.

An ornate archway leads to the heart of the home; a light-filled, north-facing open-plan kitchen, living and dining area with French doors opening to the garden. With honey-toned timber cabinetry, generous bench space and a lovely connection to both the living area and alfresco, the kitchen is perfectly suited to entertaining and everyday living.

An exposed limestone and brick wall provides a charming focal point in the inviting living area, which also enjoys peaceful garden views. Restored jarrah floorboards flow throughout, while fresh paint enhances the home's bright and welcoming feel.

Set on a 427sqm block, the rear garden is wonderfully private and beautifully established. A limestone retaining wall and olive tress provide pretty framework for the rear garden. A large grassed backyard makes for the kind of relaxed, easy-care garden where children can play freely while remaining within sight from the kitchen. The original outdoor toilet remains in place and is ideal for use as a garden shed. A brand new insulated and air-conditioned studio room built for use as an external office is a comfortable space all year round.

The combined bathroom and laundry is accessed via a beautiful antique timber door with glass insets and features classic terracotta flooring, a wall-mounted vanity and shower.

Parking is well catered for, with a long driveway leading to a single garage and additional off-street parking. A particularly charming feature can be found here, with two glass display cases recessed into the limestone walls showcasing bottles, cutlery and coins uncovered during the home's restoration.

With three bedrooms, a generous garden and an exceptional location, this is a wonderful opportunity for professional couples, young families, downsizers and empty nesters alike. Move straight in and enjoy the home's timeless character or take the opportunity to further enhance this special North Fremantle address.
