Oceans of opportunity: Big views, big block, big possibilities
This is extremely rare: an historic home plus land side-by-side in a wonderfully elevated position with panoramic views. You will see nothing else like it in Fremantle.
With ocean and island vistas from Rottnest to Rockingham, this is a unique opportunity in the port city's dress circle street. A remarkable 1932 home is a real treasure, sensitively extended and with all of its fascinating original features intact. Alongside is what must be Fremantle's best building block, in an elevated street-front position perfectly placed to enjoy the panoramic views. All of the choices are here, and you can live in a deco masterpiece while you consider the options offered by the vast 1127sqm of this subdivisible property.
On the high side of Solomon, this deco brick and tile is a local landmark, with a huge sea mine out front repurposed as the letterbox. Terraced courtyard gardens lead up to the return veranda and views that can never be built out: looking over the old stone walls of the prison and the masts of the Fishing Boat Harbour to 120 degrees of blue water, horizon and landscape, with Rottnest and Garden Island all before your eyes.
With only two owners in 90 years, the home has museum-quality interiors in excellent condition, including wonderful ornate ceiling details in sharp deco stylings, and extensive use of fine jarrah in the architraves, doors, picture rails, floors and windows. A substantial home office and the master bedroom both face the view. The large bathroom is renovated with a timber and granite double vanity, the second bedroom is spacious, and another room with exterior access could be a third bedroom, large dressing room, or activity space. There are two living areas: a gracious original room with fireplace, and the seamless addition offering open-plan living, dining, and recently renovated kitchen. French doors lead to more shady terraced gardens rising at the rear, with a laundry outbuilding, second toilet and garden shed. There is vehicle access to both sides of the home, including a gated driveway and large paved area on the northern side, leading to a three-car garage and expansive lawn with plenty of room for a pool.
