THIS South Fremantle home has a gorgeous facade.
There’s a lovely ornate finish on the bullnose verandah, the tuckpointing is exquisite and the timber porch is pure period bliss.
Built around 1890, this three bedroom one bathroom abode is on a limestone ridge with great easterly views of the suburb.
The inside is just as attractive with lots of period features including a vintage fireplace, jarrah floors, sash windows and exposed timber beams.
It’s got that classic layout – long corridor with rooms peeling off either side.
The kitchen is a stylish number with the black floor tiles contrasting nicely with the white walls and wooden cabinetry.
It’s modern and functional while also doffing its cap to the past with a lovely old mantlepiece on one wall.
As bathroom/laundries go, this is one of the most stylish the Chook has seen – it’s got black-and-white floor tiles and a period vanity with decorative splashback.
The back garden is a cosy, lush oasis with a sheltered deck overlooking a range of trees, plants and shrubs, making it a great spot for alfresco meals.
With the current heatwave biting like a junk yard dog, you’ll be making full use of the outdoor pool, which has another entertaining area off to the side.
It’s a lovely spot with an old stone door frame adding a touch of yesteryear. There’s also some vintage lights dangling above the pool. The Herald reckons you’ll be spending a lot of time out here in the summer.
The home includes ducted zoned air-conditioning, rooftop solar panels with Fronius inverter, newly installed roof insulation, and a secure double car garage with potential to build an external granny flat.
For added peace of mind, the internal and external electrics throughout the property were recently replaced.
Situated on a 490sqm block on Wesley Street, it’s a short walk to South Beach and all the cafes, bars and restaurants on South Terrace, and it’s not much further to the Wray Avenue precinct.
This is a charming home in a great spot.
