SOLD BY CONNIE HANDCOCK, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS
Overlooking a gorgeous streetscape named for its beautiful views and elevation, this century-old gem delights in every way. Nestled along a quiet cul-de-sac brimming with character, a vibrant Freo lifestyle completes the package: walk into town for its day-to-night fun, grab coffee and brunch with friends nearby, or bike to the beach for a refreshing ocean dip.
Perched above a stone-walled front garden, where a sea-breeze veranda takes in blue ocean vistas, the home opens to a long hallway lined with chic wallpaper. An elegant archway frames a direct sightline to the rear, while century-old features marry contemporary style: sweeping high ceilings, jarrah floors, ornate ceiling roses, wide skirting boards and pops of stained glass, alongside white plantation shutters and marbled-grey tiles.
Two generous bedrooms carry the grace of their era, one with a pretty fireplace, and both with floor-to-ceiling robes and air-conditioning. The main living area is warmed by a gas fire framed by built-in library walls, with a skylit bathroom nearby in a vision of minimalist white and marbled grey.
Taking a Euro-inspired direction, the open-plan kitchen and dining unfolds to light and luxury: French provincial-style windows looking out to the garden, a stone-topped waterfall island, high-end appliances, and a splash of calming sage subway tiles against white cabinetry. There's air-conditioning for year-round comfort, while the laundry sits adjacent, featuring an Italian stone sink and another modern bathroom with a bath.
Outside, a serene green setting awaits. Recycled bricks meet stone-walled edges and a sunny alfresco spot by a garden of olives, lilly pilly, and curved lawn. There's a variety of citrus down the side, alongside driveway parking for one car - a rarity in this quaint Freo pocket.
One of a pair built c.1901, at the height of Fremantle's gold rush boom era, this is a home firmly woven into the city's rich tapestry of history, heritage and architecture.
