Overview

A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MOSMAN PARK HISTORY

If you've ever dreamed of owning a classic Australian weatherboard cottage - a home with stories to tell, timeless character and a sense of history that simply cannot be recreated - this may be your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Approximately 120 years old, this beautiful Mosman Park cottage is a rare survivor of another era. Behind its wrought-iron gates lies a home filled with the character and craftsmanship of days gone by. Soaring Baltic Pine timber ceilings and floors, ornate pressed-tin ceilings, traditional sash windows and exquisite stained leadlight glass all tell the story of a home that has stood here for generations. There is something wonderfully nostalgic about this cottage. From the moment you arrive, the leafy gardens, welcoming verandah and beautiful stained-glass front door. For many years the cottage has been a much-loved rental home. Now, it is ready for someone new to take its story forward. Someone who will appreciate its history, embrace its imperfections and restore the home with the love and care that a property of this age deserves. Inside, two generous bedrooms are complemented by a spacious living room with fireplace and a charming kitchen overlooking the gardens. Outside is where the property truly comes alive. Leafy established gardens, manicured lawns and an enchanting backyard orchard create a wonderfully private setting, with lemon, orange and mandarin trees - and even your very own coffee bean tree. There is plenty of room to imagine long lunches beneath the pergola, afternoon gardening, children playing on the lawn or simply sitting quietly beneath the established trees and enjoying the feeling of having your own private garden sanctuary. A WONDERFUL MOSMAN PARK LIFESTYLE The location adds another layer to the appeal. Mosman Park Shopping Centre is close by, while Iona Presentation College and St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls are within easy reach. The nearby train station provides convenient connections to Fremantle and Perth, as well as access to a number of renowned schools including Scotch College, Christ Church Grammar School, PLC and MLC. For lovers of the outdoors, it is approximately 1.3km to Freshwater Bay and Keane's Point Reserve, while the parkland adjoining St Luke's Church with community gardens provides a lovely local place to walk the dog and enjoy the surroundings, only 4 houses from the Peppermint Grove boundary.
