The simplicity and charm of this Victorian Georgian coastal cottage paired with the South Fremantle location will have you transfixed from the get-go. The 539 square metre block is a rare find in South Fremantle which brings luxury, spaciousness, and options for the new custodians. The previous owner of almost 40 years found her place in the close-knit community of Parmelia Street and the South Fremantle lifestyle with a daily swim at South Beach.
An impressively wide block gives excellent street frontage, appeal, sense of space, and vehicle access via the bricked driveway leading to the carport. There are several established native trees at the front and rear of the home. As you step into the entry hall, the exterior of fresh white weatherboard with coastal blue highlights gives way to endless matt finish Jarrah floorboards and warm white walls. Features of the original 1911 cottage such as tin roof, sash windows, pendant lights, and sky-high ceilings are instant hits.
Two large double bedrooms frame the entry hall, giving balance and structure to the cottage. The main bedroom features an original fireplace boasting beautiful craftsmanship. The entry hall and bedrooms can be closed from the open plan living and dining area, as needed, for additional comfort and privacy. The living and dining stretches the width of the house, has plenty of light, space, and economy with the use of built-in entertainment unit, storage, and shelving. An additional mirrored fireplace makes for a charming and cosy area for dining, conversations, or curling up with a book.
Step into the next living zone, the beautifully integrated modern extension to the home. The kitchen and meals area spans the width of the house with bathroom and deck laying adjacent. Great care has been taken in the detailing of the extension by award winning Slavin Architects of North Fremantle who have created a sympathetic design considering the original cottage and owner's lifestyle. Details such as jarrah door frames which perfectly conceal sliding doors, modern louvered windows, lines of the extension, access to light, and high ceilings result in modern simplicity embodied.
The tiled bathroom and laundry houses an elegant above vanity rectangular basin, WC, and over the bath shower. There is plenty of light and ventilation in this low-care bathroom with the addition of modern louver window.
Blonde handleless cabinetry and built-in pantry in the kitchen enhances the soft light and provides functional storage. The window box extending from the line of the house cleverly contains the kitchen sink and creates the sense of being in the back yard, looking through the bottlebrush tree into the impressive Eucalyptus beyond. Bifold doors open onto the back deck for private get togethers, family time, and morning coffees in the sunshine for the ultimate indoor-outdoor living experience.
Anyone seeking a home in South Fremantle, understands community. The community of Parmelia Street is of its own and waiting to welcome you.
