SOLD AFTER THE 1ST HOME OPEN!
Several offers made and many buyers missed out. We are looking for other homes to sell.
Set back behind a walled garden, curving driveway and wide verandah, this gracious home is a classic of its era: expansive rooms, high ceilings, precious leadlights and exquisite ceiling details, all with an airy, spacious feel full of charm and character. Sympathetic renovation has created a light-filled kitchen and dining opening to the original grand living room.
Step out to the wide timber deck for perfectly private and sheltered outdoor entertaining and relax in the secret garden at the rear.
This is the ideal combination of quiet seclusion at home, combined with the total walkability of a great location on the Fremantle/South Fremantle border, close to shopping, restaurants, cafes and the beach.
The impressive leadlight entry leads to a very wide hallway, with high ceilings, a gorgeous chandelier and the original jarrah boards, architraves and skirtings found throughout the home.
The three bedrooms are vast and beautiful, all with intricate leadlight windows, ceiling fans and built-in-robes, and each with fabulously individual ceiling detailing in the spirit of art nouveau design.
The home opens up at the rear, where a modern kitchen in cool blue and stainless steel overlooks the large, gracious living room with a spectacular working fireplace.
The big bathroom, with bath, has a big double hung sash window to the north and is full of natural light. The air-conditioned open-plan dining area opens through glass doors to an expansive rear deck, leading down to a perfectly tended garden with orange and lemon trees and an additional covered sitting area with loft storage above.
This rear entertaining area is a wonderful bonus - very quiet, leafy and private. Off to the side, the property's original stables are in two sections, one now a laundry and the other a flexible storage room complete with basin and original bath, easily converted back to a second bathroom.
Adjacent is the traditional outdoor loo, with a pretty mosaic floor.
The curved entry way at the front of the home offers spacious paved parking for two or three cars, though you will find it easy to walk to Wray Avenue shopping and restaurants, to stroll into the centre of town or to ride your bike to the beach.
With beautifully preserved character features, unusually large rooms, fresh white decor and modern indoor-outdoor living, this thirties classic is a wonderfully atmospheric and welcoming place for experiencing the best of Fremantle living.
