Set back above the street with a grand Norfolk Island Pine on the verge and a wide walled deck out the front, this historic cottage is full of atmosphere. Incredibly high ceilings, thick stone walls, unusually wide jarrah boards and a long arched hallway create a serene feeling inside. The home is offered for lease with the flexibility to be partly furnished to suit your requirements, by arrangement. Laneway access to dual parking at the rear is a rare bonus in this central location, and solar panels keep your bills low.
There are three large bedrooms off the hallway, featuring original Oregon doors and double-hung sashes, and one with built-in-robes either side of the decorative fireplace. One of the bedrooms could also serve as a lovely additional sitting room. At the end of the hallway, the home opens up to a charming air-conditioned living space with working fireplace. Adapted with a rustic feel, the living room flows through a brick arch to a light-filled galley kitchen with six-burner gas range and dishwasher. Adjacent is the breakfast nook, and bathroom with bath, and the laundry is incorporated into a utility and storage room.
Sliding doors open to outdoor dining under the awning, with a limestone-walled lounging area beyond. The courtyard garden is a secluded hideaway, fully enclosed to make it pet-friendly. Decorative iron gates at the rear lead to off-street parking for two cars accessed via a laneway.
This is fine opportunity to experience original Freo character in a wonderfully walkable location: Fremantle Markets, Fremantle Primary School, Freo Social and Wray Avenue shopping are all a stroll away.
