SOLD by Louise Pope White House Property Partners
Nestled along one of Freo's most historic streetscapes, this traditional worker's cottage brings past, present and potential together as one. From the outset, it's the prettiest façade: century-old stone and tuckpointed brick framed by jacaranda and a weeping mulberry cascading over the fence. But inside lies an intriguing blank canvas of possibility. Imagine the vision: period detailing merged with stunning modern updates, a lower-level studio space with rear laneway access, and an outlook capitalising on the elevation sweeping vistas of rooftops, city and even ocean. The options are endless, with the framework in place, all in a location perfectly positioned for everything Freo.
Beyond the gated entrance and classic bullnose veranda, inside is a nostalgic nod to the past: soaring high ceilings, picture rails, decorative ceiling roses, ornate cornices and an elegant archway framing the long hallway. Concrete floors flow towards two large bedrooms, including one with an ensuite, and a main bathroom all stripped back to their foundations, primed for transformation. To the rear, an open-plan layout offers an enticing prospect: stunning views capturing ocean glimpses from whatever you craft in the living, dining and kitchen space, with the option of a balcony too (STCA).
Beneath the home, a studio space provides further flexibility, currently accessed from the rear laneway. With the right design, it's another layer of potential waiting to be realised guest accommodation, additional bedroom, home office or private self-contained retreat (STCA). An outdoor shower, kitchenette and small back garden complete this zone
Visionary buyers will appreciate architect-designed plans by John Chisholm Design an inspirational blueprint for the possibilities this heritage beauty holds, while this location alone is exceptional. Vibrant Wray Avenue with its delicatessens, bakeries, butcher, boutique stores and quaint cafés, is steps away, with South Terrace, central Freo, and the beach beyond.
This is an incredible opportunity for those who value the Fremantle dream history, character, and untapped potential all through the rewarding venture of bringing a beautiful family home to life once again.
