Walking through the manicured front garden and up to the front door, you know immediately.... this is a home with a huge heart! Standing proudly in this spot for 102 years, the weatherboard cottage has been tastefully renovated and extended by the current owners. It retains its stunning Jarrah floors, towering 12-foot ceilings, and laid back cottage ambience, while also offering open flowing living areas to help modern life run smoothly. There are also 3 enormous bedrooms (all with built-in wardrobes), a light-filled study, a modern new kitchen and two beautiful bathrooms.
Not only does it boast classic good looks and plenty of space, the property also holds a blue chip location. It's just stone's throw from trendy East Freo and upmarket Bicton, within a quick drive to Swan River, Leighton Beach, and central Fremantle. Perth CBD is just 15 mins drive off peak, and the closest park is just a 50-metre stroll from the front gate.
Set on a 400sqm block, the home has an indoor-outdoor vibe. Wide windows bring a soft natural light into the interior, and French doors link many spaces to garden courtyards. These beautiful alfresco spaces are private, peaceful, and enviably low maintenance. Mature trees include an enormous frangipani, olive and ornamental pear, which attract regular parrots and other birdlife. There's also a vertical garden and rows of lush bamboo.
Back inside, the master bedroom has a substantial built-in wardrobe with automatic lights and soft closing drawers. Its luxurious ensuite bathroom is complete with double vanity, oversized shower, heated towel rails and more clever storage options.
Additional features include reverse-cycle ducted air-conditioning (new in 2016), a 'Pot Belly' slow combustion fire for easy winter warmth, a claw foot bath, and two hot water systems (one gas instantaneous and one gas storage).
Lovingly maintained and impeccably presented, this home has everything you need to move in and enjoy straight away. Express your interest early to avoid missing out!
