There's something wonderfully appealing about a character home with established gardens, a leafy parkland outlook and a welcoming verandah where you can sit and watch the world go by. Positioned directly opposite Griffiths Park, in the heart of the Hilton Garden Suburb Heritage Precinct, this delightful three-bedroom cottage combines the charm of yesteryear with thoughtful improvements and an easygoing lifestyle that feels quintessentially Hilton.
Set on a 479sqm street-front survey-strata lot, the home is surrounded by established trees and native gardens. With Hilton Primary School a short stroll away and the attractions of South Fremantle and Fremantle within easy reach, this is a location where neighbourhood charm and everyday convenience go hand in hand.
From the street, the traditional tiled roof, weatherboard character and inviting front verandah create a lovely first impression. Elevated above the garden, the verandah is a particularly special place for morning coffee, listening to the birds or simply enjoying the green outlook across Griffiths Park.
Inside, original jarrah floorboards, high ceilings and light-filled interiors give the home its welcoming personality. The separate living room offers a comfortable retreat with a traditional fireplace, ceiling fan and split-system air conditioning. Large windows invite natural light inside, while the entrance opens to the front verandah, connecting the living space to its leafy surrounds.
At the heart of the home, the generous kitchen and dining area provides a relaxed space for everyday living, with room for a family dining table. Timber details and colourful accents lend personality to the kitchen, complemented by a gas cooker, electric oven, dishwasher and ceiling fan.
Three bedrooms, each with timber floors and ceiling fans, provide comfortable accommodation for family, guests or a home office. The bathroom features a shower over the bath, pedestal basin and WC, while the external laundry includes a convenient second toilet.
Outside, the home really comes into its own. A substantial covered timber deck stretches across the rear, creating a wonderful setting for long lunches, summer barbecues and relaxed evenings. Climbing greenery softens the space, while the adjoining lawn and established gardens offer room to unwind.
Adding a delightful touch of individuality is an outdoor bath and shower with hot and cold water. Screened for privacy and surrounded by greenery, it's a charming feature that brings a little holiday-inspired indulgence to everyday life.
Native plantings, a vegetable patch, roses and lawn bring colour and texture to the garden. Reticulation services the vegetable patch, front garden and rose garden. Practical improvements include a Solahart solar hot water system with instantaneous gas booster, solar panels, insulated walls and ceilings, and updated electrical wiring.
For those who appreciate the individuality of an older home, the beauty of established gardens and the pleasure of living opposite a park, 78 Nicholas Crescent is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy Hilton's relaxed village lifestyle.
