CLOSING DATE SALE ABSOLUTELY ALL OFFERS BY 5PM ON SATURDAY 21ST MARCH.
This historic white cottage is serene and simple with a backyard that goes on forever, its mature native gardens and swathes of lawn creating a rare green space in a superb Plympton location.
Set at the front of the block and located on the southern boundary, the cottage is perfectly placed for northern expansion, with approved plans for a two-storey extension.
Light, bright, white and lovely to live in right now, this home has wonderful street appeal with its olive tree on the verge, limestone and picket fence, simple white timber verandah detailing and front cottage garden with agaves and natives, as well as a long, gated driveway.
The hallway, with its original pine floors, opens to two bedrooms, each with ceiling fans and big double hung sash windows overlooking the verandah.
Two of the three bedrooms have built in robes allowing for plenty of storage. With jarrah floors, working fireplace, reverse-cycle air-conditioning and big windows to the north, the open-plan living/dining/kitchen is a charming space, with the third bedroom and the good-sized bathroom (with white-painted timber storage) tucked away to the south. With stainless steel cupboards and benchtop and a good view over the backyard, the kitchen is unfussy and functional, with double doors opening to the timber entertaining deck shaded by a huge sailcloth and overlooking the big, beautiful, treed space which is the rare delight of this entrancing property.
Designed as a series of native gardens interspersed with lawn to create open and shaded spaces with lovely places to sit and to play, this expansive back yard is simply wonderful, full of the sound and movement of birds, a high limestone wall to the south and plenty of room for a studio, pool, boat or caravan. There's already a traditional hills hoist tucked away out of view, a rustic shed and the original vine-covered outdoor loo re-plumbed with a new toilet.
Hubble Street is a famously family-friendly street with East Fremantle Primary just up the road and the cafes, boutiques, salons and restaurants of George St nearby.
You can walk to the river, walk to Fremantle or just stay home to enjoy the unique atmosphere of this charming home and garden with perfect potential for much more and approved plans available to view.
