Adding to the appeal of Freo’s colourful streetscapes, this early stone cottage is a fine example of its history, character and charm. Its origins have been lovingly retained, alongside contemporary updates including some retro flair from a makeover in the 60s, and there’s opportunity to add even more with approved plans for sub-division to consider. On the border of both South Fremantle and Fremantle, this location is brilliant: walk round the corner to Wray Avenue, bike to South Beach for an ocean dip, grab a bite to eat along South Terrace or venture further into the cultural heart of this vibrant Portside city within minutes.
Behind private limestone walls and a tuck-pointed red brick exterior, a glimpse of the past awaits: gleaming jarrah floors, lovely high ceilings, intricate ceiling roses, and a long, wide hallway spanning three large bedrooms and a lounge with glass-etched sliding doors – currently used as a home office and hobby room. Beyond is the terrazzo-floored 60s extension with another living (or dining) space bathed in natural light, a bright bathroom with shower, bath, toilet and vanity, and a kitchen appointed with Bosch appliances including a 900mm oven, 6-burner gas stovetop, and dishwasher, overlooking the big backyard.
At the rear, the north-facing veranda leads to a laundry with separate WC, and huge expanse of ‘blank-canvas’ lawn full of potential, complete with a lemon tree. The options are endless: transform this zone for outdoor entertaining, add a pool, or make the most of this large 698m2 block and sub-divide – with the bonus of approved plans already in place. The wide driveway down the side has ample space to park multiple vehicles including a trailer, boat or caravan.
Complementing the home’s historical past, contemporary updates include ducted and zoned, reverse-cycle air-conditioning throughout, roof solar panels for energy consumption, and double-glazed windows on the south-westerly bedrooms, ensuring both thermal and sound reduction.
Dream big and consider it all – the rarity of land this size in a superb Freo location, and unlimited options to enjoy this historical gem as is, renew further, or maximise the potential of sub-division.
