This beautifully-preserved circa-1890's 3 bedroom 2 bathroom limestone character home is a place where history flawlessly merges with the heart of greater Fremantle's vibrant lifestyle.
From the moment you step past the entry gate, under the bull-nose verandah and eventually inside, you'll feel the charm immediately - thick stone walls keeping the house naturally cool in summer, while the passageway invites in the refreshing sea breeze, making every day feel like a relaxing coastal retreat.
Step outside, and the magic continues. The backyard is a lush green haven, perfect for gathering with family and friends, sharing stories and enjoying the tranquillity of nature. Birds love it here just as much as you will, frequently visiting and even nesting among the trees.
The restored 1950's railway carriage is a unique highlight, transformed into a serene escape - ideal for quiet reflection, creative inspiration or an afternoon nap surrounded by nostalgia. Boasting its own bedroom/office area and connecting ensuite (essentially the property's second bathroom), it can definitely be utilised as an Airbnb or short-stay accommodation rental option, with its own side-gate access for peace of mind.
The indoor-outdoor flow is what truly sets this home apart from other, tough. Bi-fold doors seamlessly open up to the deck and garden, also revealing an outdoor shower and separate gazebo, offering the perfect spot to unwind - while multiple work spaces and room for backyard chooks make the residence as practical as it is picturesque.
This vibrant and striking South Fremantle home is testament to it's current owners, their love and care for the property shines throughout the house and it's magical gardens, none more so than the beautiful handmade mosaics that pop with striking splashes of colour and these permanent art pieces are a beautiful reference to a South Freo lifestyle.
Internally, high ceilings and wide solid Jarrah floorboards are commonplace, helping preserve the classic feel of yesteryear. The front two bedrooms are huge, whilst the versatile third bedroom - or study - can be whatever you want it to be.
A stylish open-plan dining and kitchen area is separate from, yet adjacent to, the massive central lounge/living room. Making the most of both the wall and floor space on offer is a combined main bathroom-come-laundry with a shower, toilet, vanity and skylight. There are also two separate driveways out front too, each catering for a single car.
And let's not forget the unbeatable South Freo lifestyle at your doorstep. Stroll down to Wild Bakery for the best bread in town, grab a coffee from one of the many local cafes or wander just five minutes to dip your toes in the ocean at the nearby South Beach. Living here means being part of a friendly, buzzing community - whether it's greeting passersby as you tend to the front garden, or soaking up the vibrant energy of the terrace.
This isn't just a place to live - it's an entire experience. A place to breathe in the Fremantle charm, embrace its history and create your own stories. Make it your next chapter, today!
