House description

“Charming Limestone Cottage”

Heritage limestone cottages are the heart and soul of Fremantle. Crafted by hand and steeped in history, they provide a level of elegance and charm that eludes most modern homes. The cottage at Skinner Street is especially refined; immaculately presented inside and out, its position on a corner lot has made it an iconic and uniquely charming piece of Fremantle's heritage landscape.

Built in the 1900s, this 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home will steal your heart the moment you walk through the wrought iron gate. Step onto the charming front porch, shaded by trees, and find a welcoming front door with exquisite leadlight glass. Inside, a central hallway leads to a shapely living room with an exposed-brick fireplace, ceiling rose and a beautiful, antique chandelier. To the right is a large main bedroom and a very good-sized second bedroom, both with leafy outlooks to the street.

At the end of the hallway you'll find a kitchen with warm, timber cabinetry, plenty of cupboards, shelves and bench space for all the culinary delights you can muster. There's room for intimate dining and a seat by the window which overlooks a very pretty courtyard. For more luxurious dinner parties, an adjacent room with French doors leading onto the courtyard is a great space for dinner guests. This room of possibilities could provide a second living space, home office, studio, or a guest room when it's needed. The room is light, bright and romantic with a wonderful outlook.

Beyond the kitchen is a beautifully refurbished bathroom, a separate toilet and a convenient laundry with access straight to the back garden. Outside, you'll find your own tiny little park - a beautifully landscaped, shady haven that is utterly private and perfect for entertaining and relaxing. The courtyard gardens have been beautifully designed to maximise the space with ornamental shade trees, flowering climbers, fragrant plants, and garden beds edged with limestone. All the hard work has been done and, with the minimum of fuss, you will be able to maintain these expertly planned outdoor spaces.

A long, single garage with storage space above will secure your vehicle, or give you glimpses of your lovely courtyard garden through a workshop window.
The owners of this unique property have cared for it meticulously for many years, so there is not a thing to do but move in and start enjoying life in this fantastic location. You'll be nestled amongst heritage homes in a friendly neighbourhood, close to Fremantle Arts Centre, a short walk from the river and the George Street Precinct with its cafes and bars. Walk the other way and you'll soon find Gesha, The Broody Hen Café, The Funkee Monkee Bar and Restaurant and Sunshine Harvest. Central Fremantle is a five-minute walk, and you can take a short evening stroll to watch the sunset from Monument Hill.

Additional features include:
• Reverse cycle air conditioning throughout
• Security screens
• Reticulated garden beds
• Dishwasher
• Wide jarrah floorboards and high ceilings
• Loft storage in the garage
• Two courtyard gardens
