Step into a timeless piece of Fremantle's history with this early 1900s semi-detached home, beautifully positioned on one of the city's most prestigious and tightly held streets. Brimming with character and old-world craftsmanship, this classic residence is ready for its next chapter-whether that's a thoughtful single-level renovation or an inspired second-storey addition to embrace potential Indian Ocean views.
Behind its charming façade lies a solid home of generous proportions-three bedrooms, one bathroom, and an elevated rear yard that hints at exciting possibilities. Limestone walls, tuck pointed brickwork, and a wide verandah give the home its unmistakable Fremantle presence. Inside, you'll find soaring ceilings, sash windows, and a grand arched hallway that capture the elegance of the era.
A rendered corrugated-iron hipped roof shelters the welcoming verandah, while twin decorative chimneys with ornate corbelling add heritage flair. Every detail speaks to the craftsmanship of the early 1900s, offering a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine this gem to modern standards while preserving its soul.
The property provides a superb canvas for expansion-extend to the rear or add a second level to unlock potential ocean views and create a home that blends historic charm with contemporary coastal living.
Solomon Street is steeped in Fremantle history. Once known as Mary Street (gazetted in 1905 and renamed in 1951/52 to honour Elias Solomon-merchant, politician, and former resident), the home's heritage echoes through its story. Held by the same family for over 60 years, it stands as a testament to generations of care and pride.
Enjoy the best of cityside living: stroll down the hill to the cafés, bars, and boutiques of Fremantle, cycle to the beach, or wander through the green expanses of Monument Hill and Stevens Reserve. The local primary school and community feel make this one of Fremantle's most desirable addresses.
