14 Marmion Street, East Fremantle WA 6158

An appealing, light-filled character home ready to live in right now or an easy neat rental for the investor with the potential for a second storey (STCA) to maximise the ocean views, this freestanding limestone home in the George St precinct is all about convenience, charm, opportunity and location, sitting just above the Fremantle border on a ridge looking down over the port and the ocean.

With a pristine new kitchen, new wiring, new blackbutt floors, plenty of natural light, two generous double bedrooms and off-street parking for two cars, this charming home enjoys the benefits of its north-south orientation, with a north-facing rear courtyard. Very smart but modest improvements within the existing rear of the home make it an attractive space to live in right now, while considering the potential for a small second storey addition (STCA) to maximise space and make the most of the amazing views that are yours for the taking in this prime elevated location.

Layers of history add to the atmosphere - the thick stone walls and high ceilings of the original stone cottage, the lovely deco ceiling details added in the early twentieth century and the gorgeous retro green and white bathroom with bath all in great condition, with the added convenience of a new separate toilet and storage room.

The pristine white kitchen is sleek and simple, with stainless steel benchtops, new Blanco oven and induction cooktop, reverse-cycle air-conditioning and an original sash window to the east giving lovely morning light at breakfast time. With security screens to the front and back doors and all the windows, it's easy to open up the house to welcome the cooling breezes.

The rear courtyard is a sheltered space with timber and rustic brick walls, a storage shed, the original outdoor loo in working order and double gate access to the driveway, which offers off-street parking for two cars.

Ideal for a couple or a single, this is an excellent opportunity to secure a character home on its own green title in a great location, where you can sit on the front verandah to enjoy the seabreezes and overlook the ever-changing vista of the ocean and the port, walk down the hill to town, stroll to the river or venture round the corner to the shops and restaurants of George St.
