In the perfect spot in the Plympton Ward community close to the river, this 1910 stone home has been completely renewed, with open-plan living, lovely gardens, huge attic storage room and a big new double car brick garage/workshop at the rear, easily adapted to become the ideal large studio.
Fully renovated in a neutral, unintrusive way that invites you to create your own style, this delightful solid home is perfect for a young family, a couple or downsizers looking for a single storey home with plenty of space and a vibrant community life in one of the Fremantle area's most sought-after locations, tucked away on a lovely heritage street with cafes, boutiques, salons restaurants, bars, parks and the river all nearby.
The air-conditioned open-plan kitchen, living and dining features high ceilings, timber bi-fold doors opening to the wide back verandah with a perfect sheltered area for long-table entertaining and a lovely outlook over the beautifully-tended garden, with outdoor lighting making it a serene spot to enjoy in the evening. It's easy for the children to enjoy the lawn or
splash under the outdoor shower when you're back from the beach or the river nearby. The garden continues up the limestone steps to the upper garden terrace, with lime, fig, lemon and frangipani trees, a raised brick veggie patch and a big water tank.
The traditional central hallway with Tasmanian blackbutt flooring and decorative arch opens to three good-sized bedrooms with the character feeling that comes from the thick stone walls of the era - the master bedroom overlooking the pristine front courtyard garden has reverse-cycle air-conditioning and a wall of built in wardrobes. An enormous, high-ceilinged attic room cleverly accessed via a fold-down ladder offers a huge amount of storage space; the large bathroom, with bath and timber-topped vanity, is filled with natural light from the north, and the spacious, well-equipped laundry room includes a second toilet.
One of the features that really set this property apart is the large brick garage/workshop at the top of the long driveway. This attractive building offers versatile options to suit your needs - while perfect for lock-up parking for two cars with additional space for storage, it is also ideal as a large studio, with the easy option of using the long, securely gated driveway for parking.
The opportunity exists to live in the home now and enjoy immensely the immaculate renovations that have been completed in the full knowledge that there remains scope to add further accommodation and value down the track with a second storey addition to the rear (subject to council approval).
With a recycled brick and white picket front wall and gates, the home is private and secure, offering peace of mind for families with young children in a famously family friendly street with East Fremantle Primary and John Curtin College of the Arts a short walk away.
