THIS Fremantle home has it all – style, history, space and charm.
Built in the 1890s, it was once a railway manager’s cottage during the WA gold rush, and then several decades later in the 1970s it was given a bohemian extension by a renowned architect.
Since the days of flares and the Bay City Rollers, there’s been several more contemporary upgrades.
The end result is simply stunning – a four bedroom two bathroom home with gorgeous heritage features and all the mod cons on a whopping 1023sqm elevated block with ocean views.
It’s got a beautiful facade that will turn heads – manicured lawns sweep up to a bullnose verandah with cornflower-blue walls and ornate lead-light windows.
A picture-perfect entry statement that will wow visitors as they walk through the front door.
The inside of the house continues the high standard with numerous heritage features including vintage cornicing, period fireplaces, bay windows and classic floorboards.
The kitchen is huge and includes a breakfast bar, plenty of storage and a lovely alcove with buttermilk splashback – a chic splash of colour that breaks up the white-on-white.
One of the Chook’s favourite spots is the living area on the first floor, where you can enjoy lovely views of the port, Cantonment Hill and the Indian Ocean.
The exposed beams are a great architectural feature and the room is bathed in natural light, courtesy of the huge vaulted windows.
With the summer weather on our doorstep, you’ll be making the most of the lovely courtyard alfresco, which is surrounded by lush plants, shrubs and trees.
Featuring a pergola with vines, it’s a cosy arbour to relax with a glass of vino.
Or head up to the balcony on the first floor, which has a stylish roof and lovely views of the back garden.
The property’s surprise package is a seperate studio at the rear of the block with its own verandah and ocean vista.
Working from home will be a joy in the stately drawing room/study, which includes a set of cute ladders to access books on the top shelf. It’s a lovely room with heaps of character.
Both bathrooms are super modern with the main ensuite featuring deluxe wall-to-wall marble tiles and a massive shower.
The home includes two rainwater tanks, solar panels, bore reticulated grounds, natural oak flooring in the kitchen, three wood-burning fireplaces and covered off-street parking for two cars. The block is sub-divisible and has valuable street frontage.
Situated on Malcolm Street, you have the George St precinct on one side and Fremantle CBD on the other.
Known as the “landmark house on the hill”, this property has it all.
