Set back above the street, the wide return verandah of this 30s character home is the perfect place to enjoy the serene, leafy surroundings of this quietly prestigious location.
Inside, the atmosphere is cool and restful, with high ceilings, jarrah floors, art deco features and pleasant green outlooks. The easy courtyard gardens have lovely spaces for relaxation and entertaining, offering a low-maintenance lifestyle along with that East Fremantle historic character.
The spacious lounge room spills out on the verandah through French doors, overlooking the impeccable lawn lined with rose beds and cooled by a big shady tree.
Two gracious air-conditioned bedrooms are in the original part of the home, one overlooking the front garden and the other with a northern window to the wraparound verandah.
The art deco ceiling detailing is a subtle feature of this home - every room with a different design.
Traditional double-hung sash windows, picture rails and the original jarrah flooring are retained, with white walls and excellent natural light adding a fresh flavour. There is a study or office, as well as handy undercroft storage.
In tones of buttery yellow, pale timber and dark granite, the kitchen/dining area offers a welcoming feel and plenty of functionality:
Miele gas cooktop and oven with separate grill oven, glass and stainless steel Miele rangehood, built-in wine racks, and the refrigerator space integrated into the cabinetry.
Beyond the kitchen is a spacious blue and white bathroom with curved shower, a concealed laundry with tall storage and a third bedroom to the rear of the home. Timber and glass double doors open to a walled courtyard wrapping around the side and rear, with reticulated tropical plantings and a lovely vine-covered outdoor dining area perfect for long lunches.
Oakover Street is close to parks, not far from the river, near the Petra Street shopping precinct and has central Fremantle five minutes down the road. This is very desirable place to live and it you're after a little history without all the work, this serene home is the easy way to treat yourself.
